Skill instructions
Operating rules - Use scripts/restrequest.py for all Ensembl API calls. - Use baseurl=https://rest.ensembl.org. - The script accepts maxitems; object lookups usually do not need it, but overlap and xrefs are better with maxitems=10. - Send JSON-friendly headers such as Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json. - Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output. - Treat displayed ... in tool previews as UI truncation, not part of the true request. Execution behavior - Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default. - Return the script JSON verbatim only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output. - Prefer these paths: lookup/id/<id, overlap/region/<species/<region, xrefs/id/<id, and variation/<species/<id. - Use saveraw=true when the user needs the full payload. Input - Read one JSON object from stdin. - Required fields: baseurl, path - Optional fields: method, params, headers, jsonbody, formbody, recordpath
