Excellent bioinformatics skill for ENA database access. The description clearly articulates capabilities (sequence retrieval, FASTQ downloads, assembly access) sufficient for CLI invocation. Task knowledge is strong with concrete API patterns, Python examples, and detailed workflows for common genomics tasks. Structure is clean with overview, capabilities, use cases, and offloaded API details to references/. Novelty is solid: while basic HTTP requests are simple, the domain-specific knowledge (hierarchical data types, rate limiting, format conversions, FTP/Aspera protocols, BLAST integration) and bioinformatics context would require significant token expenditure for a CLI agent to discover independently. Minor improvement possible in providing more complete end-to-end pipeline examples.
