hmdb-database
Access Human Metabolome Database (220K+ metabolites). Search by name/ID/structure, retrieve chemical properties, biomarker data, NMR/MS spectra, pathways, for metabolomics and identification.
npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill hmdb-database --agent claude-code
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.
# HMDB Database ## Overview The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) is a comprehensive, freely available resource containing detailed information about small molecule metabolites found in the human body. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when performing metabolomics research, clinical chemistry, biomarker discovery, or metabolite identification tasks. ## Database Contents HMDB version 5.0 (current as of 2025) contains: - **220,945 metabolite entries** covering both water-soluble and lipid-soluble compounds - **8,610 protein sequences** for enzymes and transporters involved in metabolism - **130+ data fields per metabolite** including: - Chemical properties (structure, formula, molecular weight, InChI, SMILES) - Clinical data (biomarker associations, diseases, normal/abnormal concentrations) - Biological information (pathways, reactions, locations) - Spectroscopic data (NMR, MS, MS-MS spectra) - External database links (KEGG, PubChem, MetaCyc, ChEBI, PDB, UniProt, GenBank) ## Core Capabilities ### 1. Web-Based Metabolite Searches Access HMDB through the web interface at https://www.hmdb.ca/ for: **Text Searches:** - Search by metabolite name, synonym, or identifier (H

What does the hmdb-database skill do?
Access Human Metabolome Database (220K+ metabolites). Search by name/ID/structure, retrieve chemical properties, biomarker data, NMR/MS spectra, pathways, for metabolomics and identification.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill hmdb-database --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.
