Excellent bioinformatics skill providing comprehensive access to RCSB PDB structural data. The description clearly conveys capabilities (search, download, metadata retrieval) sufficient for CLI invocation. Task knowledge is outstanding with extensive code examples covering text/sequence/structure searches, file downloads, data retrieval, and batch operations. Structure is well-organized with clear sections, though SKILL.md is somewhat lengthy - more content could potentially be moved to references. Novelty is strong: while basic PDB queries are straightforward, this skill packages complex search operators, GraphQL queries, sequence/structure similarity searches, and batch operations that would consume significant tokens if done via general CLI. The unified interface to multiple PDB APIs and pre-configured query patterns provide meaningful cost reduction for structural biology workflows. Minor deduction on structure due to length, but overall this is a high-quality, production-ready skill.
