Direct REST API access to UniProt. Protein searches, FASTA retrieval, ID mapping, Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices (unified interface to 40+ services). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or UniProt-specific control.

Excellent skill for UniProt REST API access. The description clearly covers all major capabilities (search, retrieval, ID mapping, streaming, field customization). Task knowledge is comprehensive with concrete query patterns, endpoints, formats, and best practices. Structure is exemplary: concise overview with well-organized sections and references to detailed files for fields, databases, and syntax. The Python client and multi-language examples provide actionable implementation guidance. Novelty is moderate: while the skill consolidates UniProt-specific API knowledge and reduces lookup time, a CLI agent could technically construct these REST calls with sufficient prompting. The skill's value lies in domain-specific query patterns, field mappings, and workflow optimization rather than fundamental technical complexity. Minor improvement opportunity: explicit error handling patterns. Overall, a well-crafted skill that meaningfully accelerates protein database work.
