create-tooluniverse-skill

create-tooluniverse-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw. It costs 90 tokens per session (6,691 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating skills that connect ToolUniverse, a library of scientific tools, to coding agents. It emphasizes testing the tools before documenting or using them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and test new ToolUniverse skills, connect scientific tools, create missing tools when needed, and document workflows with Python and MCP support.
Why use it?
It reduces errors caused by misunderstood tool interfaces, incomplete documentation, missing fallbacks, or untested scientific workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-tooluniverse-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Create ToolUniverse Skill

Systematic workflow for creating production-ready ToolUniverse skills that integrate multiple scientific tools, follow implementation-agnostic standards, and achieve 100% test coverage.

Core Principles (Critical)

CRITICAL - Read devtu-optimize-skills: This skill builds on principles from devtu-optimize-skills. Invoke that skill first or review its 10 pillars:

  1. TEST FIRST - Never write documentation without testing tools
  2. Verify tool contracts - Don't trust function names
  3. Handle SOAP tools - Add operation parameter where needed
  4. Implementation-agnostic docs - Separate SKILL.md from code
  5. Foundation first - Use comprehensive aggregators
  6. Disambiguate carefully - Resolve IDs properly
  7. Implement fallbacks - Primary → Fallback → Default
  8. Grade evidence - T1-T4 tiers on claims
  9. Require quantified completeness - Numeric minimums
  10. Synthesize - Models and hypotheses, not just lists

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Creating new ToolUniverse skills for specific domains
  • Building research workflows using scientific tools
  • Developing analysis capabilities (e.g., metabolomics, single-cell, cancer genomics)
  • Integrating multiple databases into coherent pipelines
  • Following up on "create [domain] skill" requests

Overview: 7-Phase Workflow

Phase 1: Domain Analysis →
Phase 2: Tool Discovery & Testing →
Phase 3: Tool Creation (if needed) →
Phase 4: Implementation →
Phase 5: Documentation →
Phase 6: Testing & Validation →
Phase 7: Packaging

Time per skill: ~1.5-2 hours (tested and documented)


Phase 1: Domain Analysis

Objective: Understand the scientific domain and identify required capabilities

Duration: 15 minutes

1.1 Understand Use Cases

Gather concrete examples of how the skill will be used:

  • "What analyses should this skill perform?"
  • "Can you give examples of typical queries?"
  • "What outputs do users expect?"

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
