# Send PubMed Search to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "pubmed-search-skill", "name": "PubMed Search", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "开发工具", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/JackKuo666/pubmed-search-skill", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/JackKuo666/pubmed-search-skill", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/pubmed-search-skill", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=pubmed-search-skill", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "README.md", "SKILL.md", "pubmed_search.py", "requirements.txt" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-04-30T16:55:25.780Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-07T16:55:25.780Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=network", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=network", "contentDisposition": "attachment;

However, you can configure these optional settings: PUBMED_API_KEY: PubMed API key for higher rate limits (get from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/) PUBMED_EMAIL: Email for API requests (required when using API key) PUBMED_TOOL: Tool name for API identification (default: pubmed-search-skill) ### Rate Limits Without API key: 3 requests per second With API key: Up to 10 requests per second Get your free API key at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/ ### Best Practices Use specific keywords for better results Apply filters (author, journal, date) to narrow down searches Review abstracts before requesting full analysis Check open access availability before downloading PDFs Cite original papers when using retrieved information ### Console Output Human-readable format with key article information ### JSON Format Machine-readable format for further processing: [ { "PMID": "12345678", "Title": "Article Title", "Authors": "Author1, Author2", "Journal": "Journal Name", "Publication Date": "2023", "Abstract": "Abstract text..." } ] ### Markdown Format Formatted output for documentation: # Article Title **Authors**: Author1, Author2 **Journal**: Journal Name (2023) **PMID**: 12345678 ## Abstract Abstract text... ### Notes This tool uses the free PubMed E-utilities API PDF downloads are only available for open access articles Always verify information from original sources Respect copyright when using downloaded articles Rate limits apply - consider getting an API key for heavy usage ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: JackKuo666 - Version: 0.1.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Source download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this source. - Health scope: source - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-04-30T16:55:25.780Z - Expires at: 2026-05-07T16:55:25.780Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/pubmed-search-skill) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/pubmed-search-skill/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/pubmed-search-skill/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/pubmed-search-skill/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/pubmed-search-skill)
