tooluniverse-comparative-genomics

Cross-species gene comparison and ortholog analysis. Integrates Ensembl Compara orthologs, NCBI Gene, UniProt, OLS, Monarch, and OpenTargets to identify orthologs, paralogs, sequence conservation, functional conservation across species, and lineage-specific gene gains/losses. Use for phylogenetic gene tracing, model-organism mapping, and evolutionary-genomics queries.

Quality

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, well-sequenced orchestration guide with strong tool-level specificity and recovery paths, though it leans verbose in its conceptual framing and keeps most material inline rather than progressively disclosed.

Suggestions

Tighten or trim the Conservation Reasoning Framework to only the interpretation rules specific to this skill's data path, removing general dN/dS and ortholog-type exposition Claude already knows.

Move the per-tool parameter reference into a references/ file (e.g. TOOLS.md) and keep SKILL.md as a concise workflow overview with one-level-deep links.

Consider extracting the dN/dS computation detail into a reference doc, leaving SKILL.md to point to scripts/dnds.py and the deeper guide.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient tool guidance, but the Conservation Reasoning Framework reads like a textbook on dN/dS and ortholog types that partially restates domain knowledge Claude already has and could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete tool names with required parameters (e.g. EnsemblCompara_get_orthologues with gene/species/target_species) and an executable Sequence_dn_ds(seq1="ATG...", seq2="ATG...") example, copy-paste ready.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Clear Phase 1–6 sequence with a Fallback Strategies section providing error-recovery loops and a Synthesis Questions checklist for interpreting evidence, matching the explicit-checkpoint anchor.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are well organized and the bundled scripts/dnds.py is a real, clearly signaled one-level reference, but the references/ directory is empty and nearly all detail (tool reference, reasoning framework) is inline rather than split into reference files.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A specific, well-scoped description that clearly conveys both capability and triggering use cases in third person without fluff. Strong across all dimensions with an explicit 'Use for' clause.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "identify orthologs, paralogs, sequence conservation, functional conservation across species, and lineage-specific gene gains/losses" — matching the multi-action anchor rather than a single vague verb.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly states what it does and follows with a "Use for phylogenetic gene tracing, model-organism mapping, and evolutionary-genomics queries" trigger clause, satisfying both what and when.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrasings a genomics user would say ("Cross-species gene comparison", "ortholog", "model-organism mapping", "evolutionary-genomics queries") with good coverage, not just technical jargon.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Names a distinct comparative-genomics niche and specific data sources (Ensembl Compara, Monarch, OpenTargets), making overlap with other skills unlikely.
