ncbi-taxonomy-veterinary
Query NCBI Taxonomy for veterinary species identification, taxonomic classification, and cross-referencing species names. Covers domestic, exotic, and wildlife species relevant to veterinary medicine.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ncbi-taxonomy-veterinary --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.
# NCBI Taxonomy - Veterinary ## Overview NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) Taxonomy is a comprehensive database of organism classification and names. For veterinary medicine, NCBI Taxonomy provides standardized species identifiers (TaxIDs), hierarchical taxonomic relationships, and links to genomic databases (GenBank, RefSeq, SRA). This skill covers species lookup, TaxID resolution, and programmatic access via Entrez API. ## When to Use - User looks up species classification, binomial name, or synonyms (e.g., "dog" → Canis lupus familiaris → TaxID 9615) - User retrieves genomic data for a species (GenBank sequences, reference genomes) - User performs phylogenetic analysis requiring standardized species nomenclature - User links veterinary data to genomic research databases - Keywords: NCBI, taxonomy, TaxID, binomial name, species classification, Entrez, GenBank, RefSeq, SRA ## Key Veterinary Species TaxIDs | Common Name | Binomial Name | TaxID | Notes | |------------|---------------|-------|-------| | Dog | Canis lupus familiaris | 9615 | Primary veterinary species; ~30K+ genes sequenced | | Cat | Felis catus | 9685 | Key veterinary species; complete reference ge

What does the ncbi-taxonomy-veterinary skill do?
Query NCBI Taxonomy for veterinary species identification, taxonomic classification, and cross-referencing species names. Covers domestic, exotic, and wildlife species relevant to veterinary medicine.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ncbi-taxonomy-veterinary --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
