gget

Fast CLI/Python queries to 20+ bioinformatics databases. Use for quick lookups: gene info, BLAST searches, AlphaFold structures, enrichment analysis. Best for interactive exploration, simple queries. For batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython; for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices.

Quality

Content

63%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

The body is highly actionable with per-module executable examples and well-sequenced workflows, but it functions as a full API reference rather than an overview. Moving the parameter tables into module_reference.md and surfacing the scripts/ files would align it with progressive-disclosure best practice.

Suggestions

Slim the per-module sections to a one-line purpose summary plus a single canonical example, and delegate the full parameter tables to references/module_reference.md (which already contains them) to remove the duplication.

Fix the Installation section: 'uv uv pip install gget' is a doubled command and the 'Or using pip' alternative actually runs 'uv pip install --upgrade gget'; show 'uv pip install gget' and 'pip install --upgrade gget' respectively.

Document the scripts/ bundle files (batch_sequence_analysis.py, enrichment_pipeline.py, gene_analysis.py) in the Resources section — or remove them — since they are currently unreachable from the SKILL.md navigation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~500-line per-module parameter reference in the body duplicates the comprehensive parameter reference already provided in references/module_reference.md, so much of the body could be trimmed without loss. It is dense and free of concept-explanation padding, which keeps it above anchor 2's fluff, but it is far from the lean overview a SKILL.md should be.

3 / 5

Actionability

Nearly every module ships executable bash and Python examples with real Ensembl IDs and sequences, plus six concrete workflows. Minor gaps: truncated placeholder sequences ('MKWMFK...') in a few Python examples and a broken install block ('uv uv pip install gget', and the 'Or using pip' path actually runs 'uv pip install --upgrade gget').

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

All six workflows present clear numbered sequences of concrete calls, but validation checkpoints are implicit (e.g., no step verifying search results before feeding IDs to gget.info). The operations are read-only queries, so the destructive-operation cap does not apply, but the missing checkpoints keep it below anchor 5.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The Resources section clearly signals the three one-level-deep reference files (all verified present with matching content), but the body inlines the bulk parameter detail that belongs in module_reference.md, and the three scripts/*.py bundle files (batch_sequence_analysis.py, enrichment_pipeline.py, gene_analysis.py) are never mentioned anywhere, leaving them undiscoverable.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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 strong description: concrete, third-person, with explicit 'use for' triggers and unusually good negative boundary guidance against biopython and bioservices. The only weaknesses are moderate synonym coverage and unmentioned capability groups.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and four concrete actions ('gene info, BLAST searches, AlphaFold structures, enrichment analysis') in third person, but omits several capability groups (expression, orthology, disease associations), leaving minor coverage gaps that fall short of the comprehensive anchor 5.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('Fast CLI/Python queries to 20+ bioinformatics databases' plus a capability list) and when ('Use for quick lookups: gene info, BLAST searches, AlphaFold structures, enrichment analysis. Best for interactive exploration, simple queries'), with concrete trigger phrases that match the anchor-5 example.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

'gene info', 'BLAST searches', 'AlphaFold structures', 'enrichment analysis', and 'quick lookups' are natural user phrasings, but common synonyms like 'protein structure', 'sequence retrieval', and 'single-cell' are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear bioinformatics-lookup niche with explicit disambiguation from the closest competing skills ('For batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython; for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices'), minimizing conflict risk.
