Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the Drug-Repurposing-Hub skill do?
Query the Broad Institute Drug Repurposing Hub (~6,800 compounds). Look up drugs by name, gene target, MOA, disease area, Broad ID, or InChIKey. Returns clinical phase, mechanism of action, targets, disease area, indication, and chemical identifiers.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill repurposing_hub --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.
