Self Awareness Skill for Claude

Claude Science's own session database schema and SDK surface for introspection via host.query(). Load this when you need to query your own conversation history, token usage, cost accounting, execution log, or artifact metadata beyond what host.frames()/host.artifacts() provide — e.g. "how many tokens has this session used", "what was my last tool call", "list every file I've written", "where are messages stored", "what tables can I query", "inspect frames.context_data", or any time you're about to PRAGMA-probe the Claude Science metadata DB to discover its schema.

Biorxiv Database

by christophacham

×4

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 BRENDA enzyme database via SOAP API. Retrieve kinetic parameters (Km, kcat), reaction equations, organism data, and substrate-specific enzyme information for biochemical research and metabolic pathway analysis.

Access ClinPGx pharmacogenomics data (successor to PharmGKB). Query gene-drug interactions, CPIC guidelines, allele functions, for precision medicine and genotype-guided dosing decisions.

Query NCBI ClinVar for variant clinical significance. Search by gene/position, interpret pathogenicity classifications, access via E-utilities API or FTP, annotate VCFs, for genomic medicine.

Access COSMIC cancer mutation database. Query somatic mutations, Cancer Gene Census, mutational signatures, gene fusions, for cancer research and precision oncology. Requires authentication.

Query Ensembl genome database REST API for 250+ species. Gene lookups, sequence retrieval, variant analysis, comparative genomics, orthologs, VEP predictions, for genomic research.

Query openFDA API for drugs, devices, adverse events, recalls, regulatory submissions (510k, PMA), substance identification (UNII), for FDA regulatory data analysis and safety research.

Query NCBI Gene via E-utilities/Datasets API. Search by symbol/ID, retrieve gene info (RefSeqs, GO, locations, phenotypes), batch lookups, for gene annotation and functional analysis.

Copy the folder

Take biotender-max/self-awareness 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.
