Skill instructions
Operating rules - Use scripts/ncbidatasets.py for all Datasets v2 calls in this package. - Use explicit REST path values relative to https://api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/v2. - Prefer targeted metadata paths instead of broad unfiltered pulls. - Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output. - Treat displayed ... in tool previews as UI truncation, not literal request content. Execution behavior - Return concise markdown summaries from the script output by default. - Return raw JSON or text only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output. - Prefer targeted endpoint calls instead of broad unfiltered dumps. - If the user needs the full raw response, set saveraw=true and report the saved file path. Input - Read one JSON object from stdin. - Required field: path - Optional fields: params, recordpath, responseformat, maxitems, maxdepth, timeoutsec, saveraw, rawoutputpath - Common Datasets patterns: - {"path":"genome/taxon/9606/datasetreport","param
