Alterlab Kegg Agent Skill
Provide direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only) for pathway analysis, gene-to-pathway and compound-to-pathway mapping, metabolic reactions, KEGG Orthology (KO), drug-drug interactions, and ID conversion. Use when querying KEGG pathways, mapping genes/compounds to metabolic maps, or running KEGG pathway enrichment via raw HTTP/REST; for protein-protein interaction networks prefer alterlab-string-db, for protein sequences and annotations prefer alterlab-uniprot, and for Python workflows spanning many databases prefer bioservices instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Efficient database search tool for bioRxiv preprint server. Use this skill when searching for life sciences preprints by keywords, authors, date ranges, or categories, retrieving paper metadata, downloading PDFs, or conducting literature reviews.
Access USPTO APIs for patent/trademark searches, examination history (PEDS), assignments, citations, office actions, TSDR, for IP analysis and prior art searches.
Direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only). Pathway analysis, gene-pathway mapping, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, ID conversion. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices. Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or KEGG-specific control.
Direct REST API access to PubMed. Advanced Boolean/MeSH queries, E-utilities API, batch processing, citation management. For Python workflows, prefer biopython (Bio.Entrez). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or custom API implementations.
Autonomous biomedical AI agent framework for executing complex research tasks across genomics, drug discovery, molecular biology, and clinical analysis. Use this skill when conducting multi-step biomedical research including CRISPR screening design, single-cell RNA-seq analysis, ADMET prediction, GWAS interpretation, rare disease diagnosis, or lab protocol optimization. Leverages LLM reasoning with code execution and integrated biomedical databases.

How to use it
Take alterlab-ieu/alterlab-kegg from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
