Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.

By AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills (GitHub) · research · 87 stars · scanned at commit 3ab6d03

Query PubChem via the PUG-REST API and PubChemPy across 119M+ compounds, searching by name, CID, or SMILES and retrieving molecular properties, bioactivity, and similarity/substructure matches. Use when looking up a chemical compound, converting names/SMILES to CIDs, fetching physicochemical properties, or running cheminformatics structure searches. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-pubchem' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-pubchem' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named alterlab-pubchem already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ab6d034385ec4fedc3f6f4099292d4e91f60300' -- 'skills/databases/alterlab-pubchem' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/databases/alterlab-pubchem' ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-pubchem' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-pubchem' ~/.claude/skills/'alterlab-pubchem' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
