Quick Review

Exceptional skill providing comprehensive access to the BRENDA enzyme database via SOAP API. The description clearly communicates capabilities for retrieving kinetic parameters, reaction data, and enzyme information. Documentation is thorough with extensive examples covering nine core capabilities, six detailed workflows, and complete code samples. Structure is excellent with well-organized sections, helper script references, and clear progression from basics to advanced use cases. The skill provides substantial value by wrapping a complex SOAP API with high-level functions for enzyme discovery, cross-organism comparison, pathway building, and kinetic modeling—tasks that would require significant token expenditure and API knowledge for a CLI agent to accomplish directly. Minor deduction on novelty as database access skills, while useful, represent a common pattern; however, the biochemical domain specificity and comprehensive kinetic analysis capabilities restore significant value.
