Database Lookup
Use this skill when the user wants structured data from public databases such as:
- compounds, drugs, assays, and targets
- genes, proteins, pathways, variants, and expression resources
- clinical trials and disease resources
- patents and regulatory datasets
- economic and fiscal data
Intended role
This skill is primarily:
- a routing and reference skill
- a database-selection guide
- a source for query strategy and identifier mapping
It is not a replacement for:
zotero for library lookup
paper-lookup for literature discovery
deep-research-workflow for broader synthesis
High-value references
Start with:
references/pubchem.md
references/chembl.md
references/bindingdb.md
references/uniprot.md
references/reactome.md
references/ensembl.md
references/ncbi-gene.md

Routing guidance
- Use
database-lookup when the user is asking for data records or identifiers.
- Use
paper-lookup when the user is asking for papers.
- Use
deep-research-workflow when the user wants broader explanation or synthesis.
