AB protein-sequence-similarity-search

Searches for homologous protein sequences using MMseqs2 (fast, default) or BLAST (comprehensive, fallback). Trigger this whenever the user provides a protein sequence or FASTA file and asks to find homologues, sequence matches, or wants to infer protein function based on sequence similarity, but not when the user wants to infer protein function based on structural similarity.

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 76/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (protein-sequence-similarity-search) differs from the folder (protein_sequence_similarity_search)
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100Steps. 50 steps
    • 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
    • 100Failures and branches. 5 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2553 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.
