Direct REST API access to UniProt. Protein searches, FASTA retrieval, ID mapping, Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices (unified interface to 40+ services). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or UniProt-specific control.

Excellent skill for UniProt REST API access. The description clearly conveys when to use this skill versus bioservices. SKILL.md is well-structured with comprehensive coverage of search patterns, ID mapping, streaming, field selection, and query syntax. The Python client and referenced documentation files provide strong task knowledge. Structure is logical with an overview, capabilities, implementation details, and best practices. Novelty is moderate: while UniProt queries can be token-intensive and this skill provides valuable shortcuts and query templates, the underlying REST API is relatively straightforward for agents to use directly compared to more complex bioinformatics pipelines. The skill excels at reducing complexity for batch operations, ID mapping workflows, and custom field queries where an agent would otherwise need to parse extensive API documentation.
