Quick Review

Excellent bioinformatics skill for NCBI Gene database queries. The description clearly explains capabilities (search by symbol/ID, retrieve RefSeqs, GO annotations, batch lookups). SKILL.md provides comprehensive task knowledge with clear workflows for common operations (search by symbol, fetch by ID, batch processing), practical script usage examples, and references to detailed API documentation. Structure is logical with overview, workflows, script usage, and best practices sections. The skill demonstrates good novelty by integrating two NCBI APIs (E-utilities and Datasets API), handling rate limiting, batch operations, and complex biological queries that would require significant token usage for a CLI agent to construct correctly. Minor improvement areas: could slightly streamline the main document given the presence of reference files, and while useful, gene database queries are somewhat standard bioinformatics tasks. Overall, a well-documented, practical skill that meaningfully reduces complexity for gene annotation workflows.
