# ChEMBL Search Search the complete ChEMBL database of bioactive molecules, drug targets, and binding data using natural language queries powered by Valyu's semantic search API. ## Why This Skill is Powerful - **No API Parameter Parsing**: Just pass natural language queries directly - no need to construct complex search parameters - **Semantic Search**: Understands the meaning of your query, not just keyword matching - **Full-Text Access**: Returns complete compound and target information - **Image Links**: Includes molecular structures and data visualizations - **Comprehensive Coverage**: Access to all ChEMBL bioactive molecule data for drug discovery ## Requirements 1. Node.js 18+ (uses built-in fetch) 2. Valyu API key from https://platform.valyu.ai ($10 free credits) ## CRITICAL: Script Path Resolution The `scripts/search` commands in this documentation are relative to this skill's installation directory. Before running any command, locate the script using: ```bash CHEMBL_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "search" -path "*/chembl-search/*/scripts/*" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1) ``` Then use the full path for all commands: ```bash $CHEMBL_SCRIPT "kinase inhibitors" 15

What does the chembl-search skill do?
Search ChEMBL bioactive molecules database with natural language queries. Find compounds and assay data with Valyu semantic search.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill chembl-search --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 FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 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.
