kegg-database
Direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only). Pathway analysis, gene-pathway mapping, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, ID conversion. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices. Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or KEGG-specific control.
npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill kegg-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.
# KEGG Database ## Overview KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) is a comprehensive bioinformatics resource for biological pathway analysis and molecular interaction networks. **Important**: KEGG API is made available only for academic use by academic users. ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when querying pathways, genes, compounds, enzymes, diseases, and drugs across multiple organisms using KEGG's REST API. ## Quick Start The skill provides: 1. Python helper functions (`scripts/kegg_api.py`) for all KEGG REST API operations 2. Comprehensive reference documentation (`references/kegg_reference.md`) with detailed API specifications When users request KEGG data, determine which operation is needed and use the appropriate function from `scripts/kegg_api.py`. ## Core Operations ### 1. Database Information (`kegg_info`) Retrieve metadata and statistics about KEGG databases. **When to use**: Understanding database structure, checking available data, getting release information. **Usage**: ```python from scripts.kegg_api import kegg_info # Get pathway database info info = kegg_info('pathway') # Get organism-specific info hsa_info = kegg_info('hsa') # Human geno

What does the kegg-database skill do?
Direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only). Pathway analysis, gene-pathway mapping, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, ID conversion. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices. Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or KEGG-specific control.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill kegg-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.
