About this skill
What does the RepurposeDrugs-query skill do?

Query the RepurposeDrugs single-agent drug repurposing database. Use whenever the user asks about drug-disease repurposing associations, clinical trial phases for repurposed drugs, or wants to look up any entity (drug name, disease name, NCT ID) in RepurposeDrugs.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill repurposedrugs --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 135 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.
