All Skills

KEGG-based disease-drug-variant network research. Connects diseases to causal genes, drugs to molecular targets, and variants to pathways using KEGG's editorially curated databases (KEGG Disease, Drug, Network, Variant, Pathway). Use for drug repurposing via shared pathways, mechanistic disease-gene-drug networks, and pathway-based target discovery. Distinguishes direct (binding) vs indirect (pathway co-membership) drug-target relationships.

Retrieve gene expression and omics datasets from ArrayExpress and BioStudies with gene disambiguation and quality assessment. Use for finding RNA-seq/microarray datasets by organism/tissue/condition, comparing across studies (case-control, time-series, dose-response), and assessing dataset suitability before downloading. Always uses English search terms.

AI-driven patient-to-trial matching for precision oncology and rare-disease care. Transforms a patient's molecular profile (mutations, biomarkers, expression) and clinical state into ranked clinical-trial recommendations with evidence tiers. Searches ClinicalTrials.gov, the EU CTIS register (European/EEA trials), AND the ISRCTN registry (UK/international) plus cross-references CIViC, OpenTargets, ChEMBL, and FDA labels. Use for matching patients to trials by genotype, biomarker-driven trial selection, trial-eligibility scoring, and finding trials across the US, Europe, and the UK.

Create high-quality ToolUniverse skills following test-driven, implementation-agnostic methodology.

Aging biology, cellular senescence, and longevity research. Covers senescence markers (p16/CDKN2A, SASP, SA-beta-gal), aging hallmarks, senolytic drug discovery (dasatinib+quercetin, fisetin, navitoclax), epigenetic clocks, telomere biology, and longevity GWAS. Use for senescence-pathway analysis, age-related disease genetics, senolytic-target discovery, and centenarian-genetics queries. Distinguishes correlative vs causal evidence (knockout, intervention).

Genomics and epigenomics analysis: DNA methylation (CpG, 5mC, 5hmC, bisulfite, RRBS), m6A RNA modification (MeRIP-seq), ChIP-seq peaks, ATAC-seq accessibility, histone modifications, chromatin state, multi-omics integration. Combines pandas/scipy/pysam computation with ToolUniverse annotation tools. Use for genome-wide epigenomic statistics, methylation analysis, and chromatin-genome integration.

Install, set up, verify, update, pin, uninstall, or troubleshoot the ToolUniverse plugin on Google Antigravity (AGY / Antigravity IDE / Antigravity 2.0). ALWAYS consult this skill for any of those — don't answer from memory, because the exact CLI name (agy), the "agy plugin install <path>" flow, the uvx tooluniverse MCP server, and the API-key env vars are easy to get wrong. Use it whenever someone wants to get ToolUniverse (or "the 1000+ scientific tools" / "the harvard tools") working on Antigravity, says the Antigravity plugin or its tools/skills won't load, hits a uvx or MCP-server startup error, asks how Antigravity updates it, wants to pin or remove it, or finds it running an old tool version. Not for the Codex plugin (use tooluniverse-codex-plugin) or Claude Code plugin (use tooluniverse-claude-code-plugin), for running research with the tools, or for authoring new tools or skills.

Post-translational modification (PTM) analysis — phosphorylation, ubiquitination, acetylation, glycosylation, methylation. Uses iPTMnet (sites + enzymes), ProtVar (functional consequences), UniProt (baseline), STRING, ELM (linear motifs), MassIVE/ProteomeXchange (experimental). Use for PTM site annotation, kinase-substrate identification, and PTM-disease associations.

End-to-end drug safety review integrating FDA labels, FAERS adverse event reports, PRR/ROR disproportionality, pharmacogenomic biomarkers, clinical trial data, and published literature. Use for regulatory drug safety reviews, comprehensive pharmacovigilance reports, label-vs-real-world AE comparison, and clinical decision support for drug safety.

Install, set up, verify, update, pin, uninstall, or troubleshoot the ToolUniverse plugin on OpenAI Codex. ALWAYS consult this skill for any of those — don't answer from memory, because the exact marketplace name (mims-harvard/ToolUniverse), the "codex plugin marketplace add" then "codex plugin add -m tooluniverse" flow, Codex's startup auto-upgrade behavior, the uvx tooluniverse MCP server, and the API-key env vars are easy to get wrong. Use it whenever someone wants to get ToolUniverse (or "the 1000+ scientific tools" / "the harvard tools") working on Codex, says the Codex plugin or its tools/skills won't load, hits a uvx or MCP-server startup error, asks how Codex updates it, wants to pin or remove it, or finds it running an old tool version — even if they never say the word "plugin". Not for the Claude Code plugin (use tooluniverse-claude-code-plugin), for running research with the tools, or for authoring new tools or skills.

Install or update ToolUniverse in Claude Science — create the conda env, install the tooluniverse pip package, and (re)build the tooluniverse-research skill by fetching the current workflow library from GitHub. Use for first-time setup, upgrading the ToolUniverse version, refreshing the bundled workflows after an upstream release, or reinstalling on a new machine.

Given a PDB structure, produce a per-residue annotation table: which residues sit at a binding interface (vs a partner chain), which line a ligand pocket, which are buried (core) vs solvent-exposed (surface), and optionally secondary structure. This is the structural track drawn under a DMS heatmap and the structural prior SAE feature drops are read against. Use when you need to anchor a variant-interpretation or DMS analysis to the protein's actual physical context.

Find and evaluate research datasets for any scientific question. Maps research questions to required study designs (longitudinal vs cross-sectional, observational vs experimental, single-cohort vs multi-cohort). Use when the user asks 'find data about X', 'where can I get data on Y', or needs a specific cohort/survey/repository. Covers GEO, ArrayExpress, dbGaP, NHANES, UK Biobank, ClinicalTrials.gov, GWAS Catalog, and 30+ scientific repositories.

AI-guided de novo protein design — RFdiffusion backbone generation, ProteinMPNN sequence design, structure validation (pLDDT, pTM, MPNN scores). Use for designing therapeutic protein binders, novel scaffolds, enzyme variants, and miniprotein/protein-interface design before experimental validation.

Inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science — crystal structures, coordination chemistry, lattice parameters, thermodynamic properties, electronic structure. Use for unit cell volume calculations, coordination geometry, materials property estimation, and inorganic-mechanism reasoning. Complementary to tooluniverse-organic-chemistry.

Drug and chemical toxicity assessment via adverse outcome pathways (AOPs), real-world FAERS adverse event signals, FDA labels, and toxicogenomic associations. Triangulates molecular initiating event to cellular outcome to organ-level toxicity to clinical adverse event. Use for hepatotoxicity/cardiotoxicity/nephrotoxicity prediction and toxicology reports.

End-to-end variant-to-mechanism analysis — trace a variant (rsID/coordinates) through regulatory context, target gene(s), molecular pathway(s), and phenotypic consequences. Integrates 7+ databases across 3 evidence layers (regulatory, molecular, disease) for a mechanistic model. Use for GWAS-hit-to-mechanism, eQTL-causal-gene tracing, and full causal-chain reports.

Biological sequence analysis — gene/protein sequence retrieval (NCBI, Ensembl, UniProt), nucleotide/protein search, ortholog discovery, and FASTQ QC + alignment workflows (Trimmomatic, BWA, samtools, coverage depth). Use for sequence retrieval, sequence comparison, FASTQ QC analysis, and read alignment pre-processing.

Non-coding RNA analysis — miRNAs (miRBase, miRDB targets), lncRNAs (LNCipedia, RNAcentral), circRNAs, snoRNAs, and other ncRNA classes. Distinct mechanisms per class — miRNAs repress mRNA; lncRNAs scaffold/decoy/enhance. Use for ncRNA function prediction, miRNA-target prediction, lncRNA functional annotation, and ncRNA-disease association queries.

Set up, launch, validate, and troubleshoot the Tangram ToolUniverse remote tool and optionally relay it through ToolUniverse Connect. Use when deploying or auditing this implementation.

HLA gene-family analysis and MHC-peptide binding for transplant compatibility, vaccine epitope coverage, and cancer immunotherapy. Uses IMGT (HLA polymorphism), IEDB (epitope-MHC binding), UniProt (annotation), DGIdb (druggability). Use for HLA typing/imputation review, vaccine HLA coverage, and immunotherapy prediction biomarkers (HLA-LOH, neoantigen presentation).

Mass-spec proteomics analysis — protein identification, quantification (LFQ, TMT, iTRAQ), differential expression (tumor vs normal, treatment vs control), PTM identification, and pathway enrichment on protein lists. Use when you have proteomics MS output, asking about protein abundance differences, or doing systems-level proteomic interpretation.

Neuroscience research workflows: neuroanatomy, neural circuits, neurotransmitter biology, neurological/psychiatric disease genetics, neural-protein function. Uses Allen Brain Atlas, WormBase (C. elegans connectome), UniProt for neural proteins, PubMed for primary literature. Use for brain-region biology, neural development, neurodegeneration mechanisms (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS), and synaptic-protein characterization.

Fix failing ToolUniverse tools by diagnosing test failures, identifying root causes, implementing fixes, and validating solutions. Use when ToolUniverse tools fail tests, return errors, have schema validation issues, or when asked to debug or fix tools in the ToolUniverse framework.
