/biomedical-search
Complete biomedical information search combining PubMed, preprints, clinical trials, and FDA drug labels. Powered by Valyu semantic search.
This is the one to install if you only install one of the yorkeccak/scientific-skills family. It collapses four separate workflows — PubMed, preprint servers, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA drug labels — into a single natural-language query.
What it does
A unified semantic search across the canonical biomedical evidence stack. Useful for “what’s the current state of X” queries that span basic research, clinical trials, and regulatory landscape — the exact triangulation a biotech R&D scientist or industry-track PhD does in their head every day, except now you can offload the search step.
Who it’s for
- Biotech / pharma R&D scientists — the one-stop scan that maps to how due diligence actually happens
- Industry-track PhDs in computational biology, immunology, oncology, neuroscience
- Postdocs doing literature-heavy hypothesis generation
- Regulatory-adjacent professionals who need to know both the science and the FDA filings
What to watch for
- Valyu API dependency for the semantic layer (third-party service)
- FDA label coverage is US-specific — for EMA/PMDA work, you’ll still need separate workflows
- Clinical trials data freshness depends on registry update cadence — typical delay is days to weeks for major registries
- The skill returns a ranked list, not a synthesis. Use a downstream skill or workflow to actually summarize across sources.
Verdict
The closest thing to a “one query for the whole biomedical evidence stack” available as an open-source Claude Skill right now. Strongest for industry R&D contexts where you’re triangulating science + trials + regulatory in the same question.
