From the source SKILL.md

Scry gives you read-only SQL access to the ExoPriors public corpus (229M+ entities) via a single HTTP endpoint. You write Postgres SQL against a curated scry.* schema and get JSON rows back. There is no ORM, no GraphQL, no pagination token -- just SQL.

What this skill does

Scry is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/scry/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the task involves: Scry API, ExoPriors, /v1/scry/query, scry.search, scry.
