database-lookup

94 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a data skill usually connects to databases or online services with your credentials.

By K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills (GitHub) · data · 56,698 stars · scanned at commit 2d2065f

Queries documented public database APIs with explicit endpoints, filters, pagination, and provenance. Used when a scientific, regulatory, financial, or other database-backed fact must be retrieved reproducibly from a named source rather than inferred from general knowledge.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'database-lookup' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'database-lookup' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named database-lookup already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '2d2065fb4520fa3f3f2bcf61cff26ec8b7eba4b5' -- 'skills/database-lookup' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/database-lookup' ~/.agents/skills/'database-lookup' && 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/'database-lookup' ~/.claude/skills/'database-lookup' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
