What the skill teaches
A PubMed skill in Google DeepMind's science-skills collection, made mainly for Google Antigravity's Science plugin and also installable with npx skills. A bundled Python command-line script, run with uv, wraps NCBI E-utilities and the PMC BioC API: it searches PubMed, fetches abstracts and full text, links papers to gene, protein, nucleotide and PubChem records, checks medical spelling, matches raw citations and caches result sets for bulk work. The skill forbids querying the API any other way so that rate limits are enforced. An NCBI API key and a contact email are optional and handled through the collection's credentials skill; the user is shown NCBI's terms once.
