Use whenever the user asks to look up an RxCUI, normalize a drug name, find drug interactions, retrieve brand/trade names, or resolve any clinical drug name via RxNorm. Supports single drug or batch queries. Trigger on mentions of RxNorm, RxCUI, drug normalization, drug interaction lookup, or brand-name resolution.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

What does the rxnorm-query skill do?
Query the RxNorm drug naming and normalization API. Use whenever the user asks to look up an RxCUI, normalize a drug name, find drug interactions, retrieve brand/trade names, or resolve any clinical drug name via RxNorm. Supports single drug or batch queries. Trigger on mentions of RxNorm, RxCUI, drug normalization, drug interaction lookup, or brand-name resolution.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill rxnorm --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.
