Biomedical Search

yorkeccak/scientific-skills

This is semantic search across PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, and FDA drug labels in one query. You throw natural language at it and get full text content back, not just abstracts. It's powered by Valyu's API, which costs money after $10 free credits. The main sell is you skip the usual database-hopping and parameter wrangling when researching medical topics. Returns JSON with relevance scores and image links when available. Best for clinical research planning, drug safety assessments, or any time you need to pull evidence from multiple biomedical sources without writing five different queries. Zero dependencies, just bash and Node fetch.
