Retrieve protein and nucleotide sequences from NCBI databases using E-utilities. Supports direct accession lookup, CDS translation, gene+organism search, locus lookup, PubMed-linked sequences, patent protein extraction, and organism+length fallback search. Use when you need to fetch biological sequences by accession, gene name, locus tag, PubMed ID, or patent number.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (ncbi-sequence-fetch) differs from the folder (ncbi_sequence_fetch)
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Steps. 32 steps, 4 vague phrases
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2147 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
