Description
Search and evaluate biomedical literature with effective queries, filters, and critical appraisal.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a text-only guide for searching and appraising PubMed literature and appears internally consistent and low-risk. Note the registry/source fields are empty (no homepage, unknown source); if provenance matters to you, prefer an official or well-known source. Because it contains no code, installing it does not add executables or request secrets — still avoid pasting private credentials into prompts and be cautious if a future version adds network calls or install steps (review any added install scripts, URLs, or required env vars before approving).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: pubmed Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'PubMed' is benign. The `_meta.json` file contains standard metadata. The `SKILL.md` file provides comprehensive, purely informational instructions on how to effectively search, filter, and critically appraise biomedical literature using PubMed. There are no executable commands, prompt injection attempts, or any indicators of malicious or suspicious activity such as data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence mechanisms within the provided content.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description ('Search and evaluate biomedical literature') match the SKILL.md content, which is a set of best-practice rules for constructing PubMed queries and appraising studies. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md provides high-level, domain-specific guidance (MeSH terms, filters, appraisal heuristics). It does not instruct the agent to read local files, exfiltrate data, call arbitrary external endpoints, or access credentials. References to external resources (Retraction Watch, Unpaywall) are advisory only.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, which minimizes on-disk risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate for an advice-only PubMed helper.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default autonomous invocation are unchanged. The skill does not request persistent presence or elevated privileges and does not modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install pubmed
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /pubmed
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
