query-opentarget
Query OpenTargets for drug targets, disease associations, and therapeutic evidence. Use when user asks about drug targets, disease mechanisms, target validation, or drug-disease associations. Triggers on "opentarget", "drug target", "target validation", "disease association", "therapeutic target", "drug for disease".

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.
# OpenTargets Platform Query Query the OpenTargets Platform GraphQL API for drug-target-disease associations. ## When to Use - User asks about drug targets for a disease - User wants disease-gene associations - User asks about drugs targeting a specific gene - User wants evidence for target validation ## How to Execute ```python import requests import json OPENTARGETS_URL = "https://api.platform.opentargets.org/api/v4/graphql" def query_opentargets(graphql_query, variables=None): payload = {"query": graphql_query, "variables": variables or {}} r = requests.post(OPENTARGETS_URL, json=payload, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}) r.raise_for_status() return r.json() # 1. Search for a target (gene) def search_target(gene_name): query = ''' query searchTarget($name: String!) { search(queryString: $name, entityNames: ["target"], page: {index: 0, size: 5}) { hits { id name description entity } } }''' return query_opentargets(query, {"name": gene_name}) # 2. Get diseases associated with a target def target_diseases(ensembl_id, size=10): query = ''' query targetDiseases($ensemblId: String!, $size: Int!) { target(ensemblId: $ensemblId) { id approvedSymbol approvedName associatedDis

What does the query-opentarget skill do?
Query OpenTargets for drug targets, disease associations, and therapeutic evidence. Use when user asks about drug targets, disease mechanisms, target validation, or drug-disease associations. Triggers on "opentarget", "drug target", "target validation", "disease association", "therapeutic target", "drug for disease".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill query-opentarget --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 144 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.
