68%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, mostly executable reference with genuinely useful progressive disclosure into four real reference files. The main gaps are the absence of validation/error-handling steps in the ID-mapping and batch workflows and duplicated query-syntax examples both inline and in references/query_syntax.md.
Suggestions
Add validation and error-recovery steps to the ID-mapping workflow: what a failed/partial job looks like in the status response, retry guidance for polling, and how to detect and handle empty or failed mappings in the results.
Remove the duplicated inline 'Query Syntax Examples' section (or the overlapping 'Common search patterns' block) and keep a handful of the most common queries with a single pointer to /references/query_syntax.md.
Inline one complete, copy-paste-ready example (e.g., a curl or Python call against the search endpoint with a real query and format) so the core operation is executable without opening references/api_examples.md.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is efficient and well-sectioned with minimal conceptual padding (only a single background sentence about UniProt in the Overview). It is held below anchor 5 by real duplication: the 'Common search patterns' block and the later 'Query Syntax Examples' section repeat nearly the same queries (gene:BRCA1, accession:P12345, length:[100 TO 500]), which could be collapsed. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Guidance is mostly executable: full endpoint URLs with parameter shapes ('https://rest.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/search?query={query}&format={format}'), concrete field names, named helper functions in scripts/uniprot_client.py, and format lists. It stops short of anchor 5 because no complete copy-paste request example (curl or Python snippet) appears inline — those live in references/api_examples.md. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | The ID-mapping workflow is a clear 3-step sequence (run → status/{jobId} → results/{jobId}) but has no validation or error-recovery checkpoints, and the batch/streaming operations (up to 100,000 IDs) likewise offer no feedback loop for failures or empty results. Per the rubric, batch operations without validation steps cap workflow clarity at 3. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Structure is good: the body keeps a few key examples inline while the bulk lives in real, clearly signaled, one-level-deep references (api_fields.md, id_mapping_databases.md, query_syntax.md, api_examples.md), all listed under a Resources section. It matches anchor 4 ('a few key examples inline, bulk in separate file') rather than 5 because the inline query-syntax examples duplicate material that query_syntax.md already covers comprehensively. | 4 / 5 |
