Skill instructions
Operating rules - Use scripts/restrequest.py for all RCSB PDB and Search API calls. - Use baseurl=https://data.rcsb.org/rest/v1 for core metadata, https://search.rcsb.org/rcsbsearch/v2 for Search API, and https://www.rcsb.org for FASTA downloads. - Core entry or assembly lookups usually do not need maxitems; Search API results are better with query pager rows around 10 and maxitems=10. - 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 JSON by default. - Prefer core metadata endpoints for focused lookups and Search API POST requests for discovery. - For FASTA downloads, use responseformat=text so the script returns a short texthead unless raw output is requested. Input - Read one JSON object from stdin. - Required fields: baseurl, path - Optional fields: method, params, headers, jsonbody, formbody, rec
