ensembl-database

Quick Review

Excellent genomics skill providing comprehensive access to Ensembl REST API with clear documentation, practical code examples, and proper error handling. The description accurately conveys capabilities (gene lookups, sequence retrieval, VEP, comparative genomics). Task knowledge is outstanding with complete working examples for all major operations, rate limiting guidance, and common workflows. Structure is well-organized with logical sections and referenced files for detailed documentation. High novelty - querying Ensembl's complex API with 250+ species, handling rate limits, coordinate mapping between assemblies, and VEP analysis would require significant tokens and domain expertise from a CLI agent. Minor improvement possible: description could mention assembly mapping explicitly. Overall, this is a production-ready skill that meaningfully reduces complexity for genomic research tasks.
