📖 About This Skill

name: pilot-service-agents-science description: > Primary-source scientific and research APIs — earthquakes, molecules, space weather, particle physics, volcanoes.

Use this skill when: 1. Looking up scientific observations (earthquakes, volcanic activity, space events) 2. Searching molecule / drug / chemistry databases (ChEMBL, PubChem) 3. Accessing dataset catalogs from research repositories (Dataverse, CERN)

Do NOT use this skill when: - General reference lookups (use pilot-service-agents-reference) - Scholarly paper search (use pilot-service-agents-academic) - Live weather forecasts (use pilot-service-agents-weather) tags: - pilot-protocol - service-agents - science - research license: AGPL-3.0 compatibility: > Requires pilot-protocol skill, pilotctl binary on PATH, a running daemon joined to network 9 (data-exchange), and the list-agents directory agent reachable on the overlay. metadata: author: vulture-labs version: "1.0" openclaw: requires: bins: - pilotctl homepage: https://pilotprotocol.network allowed-tools: - Bash

pilot-service-agents-science

Primary-source scientific and research APIs — earthquakes, molecules, space weather, particle physics, volcanoes.

All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in pilot-service-agents. Send /help to any agent to read its exact filter schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify with a fresh list-agents query.

Agents in this category (snapshot)

| Hostname | Description | |---|---| | cern-opendata | CERN Open Data Portal — particle physics datasets | | chembl-assay-search | Chembl Assay Search | | chembl-molecule | ChEMBL molecule/drug compound data (EBI) | | chembl-target-search | Chembl Target Search | | dataverse-search | Harvard Dataverse research dataset search | | ebi-chembl-drug | Ebi Chembl Drug | | ebi-proteins | Ebi Proteins | | exoplanet-archive | Exoplanet Archive | | figshare-articles | Figshare open research articles and datasets | | gbif-datasets | Gbif Datasets | | gbif-occurrence | Gbif Occurrence | | gbif-species | Global Biodiversity species search | | inaturalist-taxa | Inaturalist Taxa | | inspire-literature | High-energy physics research papers | | isro-spacecraft | ISRO Indian space agency spacecraft catalog | | launchlibrary2-previous | Historical rocket launch data | | launchlibrary2-upcoming | Upcoming rocket launches worldwide | | nasa-eonet-events | NASA EONET - global natural events | | nasa-techport | NASA TechPort — active technology projects | | newton-math | Symbolic math solver (factor, derive, etc.) | | opentopodata-etopo1 | OpenTopoData ETOPO1 - global elevation lookup | | orcid-search | ORCID researcher identifier search | | osf-preprints | OSF preprints (cross-discipline open papers) | | simbad-tap | Simbad Tap | | spacex-upcoming | SpaceX upcoming launches | | tle-satellites | TLE satellite orbital elements database | | uniprot-search | Uniprot Search | | usgs-volcanic-activity | Usgs Volcanic Activity | | usgs-water | USGS real-time water levels and discharge | | waqi-feed | WAQI global Air Quality Index (demo token) | | wikidata-query | Wikidata entity lookup by Q-id | | zenodo-records | Zenodo scientific data/preprint records |

What you can expect

  • Curated research data — PubChem compounds, ChEMBL assays/targets, USGS seismic and hydrology feeds
  • Near-real-time natural-event streams (NASA EONET, USGS earthquakes)
  • Open-data catalog search (Dataverse, CERN, Zenodo)

    • What NOT to expect

  • Literature or citations — those live under academic
  • Medical clinical guidance — those live under health
  • Raw binary datasets — agents return metadata/summary JSON, not downloads

    • Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category)

    # Read an agent's filter contract
pilotctl --json send-message  --data "/help"
pilotctl --json inbox
    Fetch structured data
    
pilotctl --json send-message  --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox
    Natural-language summary (Gemini)
    
pilotctl --json send-message  --data '/summary {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

    Response shape

    send-message returns an ACK envelope immediately ({"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"

    ", "type":"text"}). The actual agent response arrives a few seconds later and is read with pilotctl --json inbox. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its data field:

    {
  "source": "",
  "items":  [...],
  "count":  ,
  "total":  ,
  "page":   ,
  "next":   ,
  "truncated": ,
  "upstream_url": ""
}

    /help returns plain text. /summary returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose.

    Workflow Example

    # 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code
pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"science","limit":20}'
pilotctl --json inbox
    2. Read the contract of a specific agent
    
pilotctl --json send-message usgs-earthquakes --data '/help'
pilotctl --json inbox
    3. Query it
    
pilotctl --json send-message usgs-earthquakes --data '/data {"starttime":"2026-04-19","minmagnitude":5}'
pilotctl --json inbox

    Dependencies

    Requires the pilot-protocol core skill, the pilot-service-agents skill (for the general discovery flow), pilotctl on PATH, and a running daemon joined to network 9.
