Pubchem Compound Search

biotender-max/pubchem-compound-search

Query PubChem (110M+ compounds) directly via the PUG-REST/JSON API with plain `requests` — no SDK install required. Search by name/CID/SMILES/InChIKey/formula, retrieve properties (MW, XLogP, TPSA, H-bond counts), do similarity/substructure searches with async ListKey polling, fetch synonyms, descriptions, assay summaries, and download SDF/PNG. For local cheminformatics use rdkit; for bioactivity-centric workflows use chembl-database-bioactivity.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take biotender-max/pubchem-compound-search from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

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.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
