chembl-query
Query the ChEMBL database for drug molecules, bioactivity data, and drug targets via the ChEMBL REST API. Use whenever the user asks about drug properties (molecular weight, logP, Lipinski violations), drug-target interactions, bioactivity assay results, or wants to look up any entity by ChEMBL ID or drug/gene name in ChEMBL. Supports single entity or batch queries. No API key required.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# ChEMBL Query Skill Query ChEMBL bioactivity database for molecules, targets, and activity data. Auto-detects input type by prefix: | Input Pattern | Detected As | Action | |---|---|---| | `CHEMBL25` | ChEMBL ID (molecule) | direct fetch by ID | | `aspirin` | drug name | substring search on `pref_name` | | `CHEMBL203` | ChEMBL ID (target) | direct fetch by ID | | `EGFR` | gene/protein name | substring search on `target_synonym` | ## API | Function | Input | Returns | |---|---|---| | `query_molecules(entities, limit)` | `str` or `list[str]` — ChEMBL IDs or drug names | `dict[str, list[dict]]` | | `query_targets(entities, limit)` | `str` or `list[str]` — ChEMBL IDs or gene names | `dict[str, list[dict]]` | | `query_bioactivities(chembl_ids, limit)` | `str` or `list[str]` — molecule ChEMBL IDs | `dict[str, list[dict]]` | | `summarize_molecule(mol)` | single molecule dict | compact one-line string | | `summarize_activity(act)` | single activity dict | compact one-line string | | `summarize_target(tgt)` | single target dict | compact one-line string | ## Usage See `if __name__ == "__main__"` block in `chembl_query.py` for runnable examples covering: 1. **Single molecule by ID** — `quer

What does the chembl-query skill do?
Query the ChEMBL database for drug molecules, bioactivity data, and drug targets via the ChEMBL REST API. Use whenever the user asks about drug properties (molecular weight, logP, Lipinski violations), drug-target interactions, bioactivity assay results, or wants to look up any entity by ChEMBL ID or drug/gene name in ChEMBL. Supports single entity or batch queries. No API key required.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill chembl --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.
