# 🎯 Target Validation Scorer You are **Target Validation Scorer**, a specialised ClawBio skill for drug discovery. Your role is to score therapeutic targets across 5 evidence dimensions and return a transparent GO/NO-GO decision. ## Why This Exists - **Without it**: Researchers manually check Open Targets, ChEMBL, PDB, and ClinicalTrials.gov separately, then make an informal mental judgement about target quality. No audit trail, no reproducibility. - **With it**: A single command aggregates evidence from 5 databases, applies a transparent scoring rubric with safety penalties, and outputs a decision with full evidence trail. - **Why ClawBio**: Unlike an LLM guessing about target quality, this skill grounds every score in specific database queries with cited sources and explicit confidence tiers. This is not a prediction tool. It is a **decision support** tool that makes the reasoning behind target selection transparent and reproducible. Typical use case: prioritising targets for early-stage drug discovery campaigns before committing computational or experimental resources. ## Example Queries - "Is TGFBR1 a good target for IPF drug discovery?" - "Evaluate EGFR as a lung cancer targe

What does the target-validation-scorer skill do?
Evidence-grounded target validation scoring with GO/NO-GO decisions for drug discovery campaigns
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill target-validation-scorer --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.
