What hmdb-skill does

hmdb-skill uses scripts/rest_request.py for all HMDB queries. The unearth/q endpoint handles searches with query, category, and format=json parameters. Results are capped at 10 items via per_page=10 and max_items=10 to keep responses compact.

By default, the skill returns markdown summaries from the JSON response. If you need the full payload, set save_raw=true and the skill reports the file path. In long conversations, the skill resubmits requests instead of caching old results, ensuring fresh data from HMDB.

To install on Codex, run npx skills add openai/plugins --skill hmdb-skill; the skill then lives in .agents/skills/hmdb-skill/.

What it helps with

  • find a molecule or metabolite in HMDB by name
  • look up protein or enzyme information
  • search for a disease in the database
  • explore a biochemical pathway
  • get a concise search result summary

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find the structure of serotonin in HMDB
  • Show me pathways related to glycolysis in HMDB
  • Search HMDB for diabetes and give me a brief report
