From mims-harvard-tooluniverse
Detects missing ToolUniverse research skills in client directories like .cursor/skills or .claude/skills and auto-installs by cloning from GitHub. Use for new projects or bootstrapping sub-skills.
npx claudepluginhub joshuarweaver/cascade-data-analytics --plugin mims-harvard-tooluniverseThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Checks whether the ToolUniverse specialized skills are installed and installs them automatically if not.
Conducts multi-round deep research on GitHub repos via API and web searches, generating markdown reports with executive summaries, timelines, metrics, and Mermaid diagrams.
Dynamically discovers and combines enabled skills into cohesive, unexpected delightful experiences like interactive HTML or themed artifacts. Activates on 'surprise me', inspiration, or boredom cues.
Generates images from structured JSON prompts via Python script execution. Supports reference images and aspect ratios for characters, scenes, products, visuals.
Checks whether the ToolUniverse specialized skills are installed and installs them automatically if not.
Use the Shell tool to check for the canary file across all common client locations:
ls .cursor/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| ls .agents/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| ls .windsurf/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| ls .gemini/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| ls .claude/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| ls .opencode/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| ls .trae/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| ls .skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
|| echo "NOT_INSTALLED"
NOT_INSTALLED → proceed to installation.# 1. Download skills from GitHub (shallow, sparse — only skills/ folder)
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse \
https://github.com/mims-harvard/ToolUniverse.git /tmp/tu-skills
cd /tmp/tu-skills && git sparse-checkout set skills
# 2. Copy to the correct directory for the detected client:
mkdir -p .cursor/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .cursor/skills/ # Cursor
# mkdir -p .agents/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .agents/skills/ # Codex/OpenAI
# mkdir -p .windsurf/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .windsurf/skills/ # Windsurf
# mkdir -p .gemini/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .gemini/skills/ # Gemini CLI
# mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .claude/skills/ # Claude Code
# mkdir -p .opencode/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .opencode/skills/ # OpenCode
# mkdir -p .trae/skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .trae/skills/ # Trae
# mkdir -p .skills && cp -r /tmp/tu-skills/skills/* .skills/ # Cline/VS Code
# 3. Clean up
rm -rf /tmp/tu-skills
If the client cannot be detected automatically, ask the user which one they use before running step 2.
Detect the client from the presence of config files:
| Config file present | Client |
|---|---|
.cursor/ | Cursor |
.agents/ | Codex / OpenAI |
.windsurf/ | Windsurf |
.gemini/ | Gemini CLI |
.claude/ | Claude Code |
.opencode/ | OpenCode |
.trae/ | Trae |
| None of the above | Ask the user |
Confirm success:
ls .cursor/skills/tooluniverse-drug-research/SKILL.md
Tell the user: "ToolUniverse skills installed successfully. You now have access to 50+ specialized research workflows."
