cadec-query
Query the CADEC (CSIRO Adverse Drug Event Corpus). Use whenever the user asks about adverse drug event mentions in consumer health text, entity annotations from patient forum posts, MedDRA/SNOMED-CT normalised ADR spans, or wants to look up drugs, symptoms, or coded entities in the CADEC corpus.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the cadec-query skill do?
Query the CADEC (CSIRO Adverse Drug Event Corpus). Use whenever the user asks about adverse drug event mentions in consumer health text, entity annotations from patient forum posts, MedDRA/SNOMED-CT normalised ADR spans, or wants to look up drugs, symptoms, or coded entities in the CADEC corpus.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill cadec --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
