uniprot-databaselisted

Access protein metadata, function, taxonomy, and sequences across UniProtKB, UniParc, and UniRef. Use when searching for proteins, mapping identifiers, or retrieving functional annotations and publications. Don't use for sequence alignment, protein folding, or sequence similarity search (use specialized skills for those tasks).

# UniProt Database Access ## Prerequisites 1. **`uv`**: Read the `uv` skill and follow its Setup instructions to ensure `uv` is installed and on PATH. 2. **User Notification**: If .licenses/uniprot_database_LICENSE.txt does not already exist in the workspace root directory then (1) prominently notify the user to check the terms at https://www.uniprot.org/help/license and https://www.uniprot.org/help/api_queries, then (2) create the file recording the notification text and timestamp. ## Overview Provides direct programmatic access to the UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB), the non-redundant sequence archive (UniParc), and clustered sequence sets (UniRef). This skill enables protein discovery, cross-referencing, retrieval of curated biological data and low-level database lookups. ## Core Rules - **Use the Wrapper**: Always use the provided Python scripts (e.g., `scripts/uniprot_tools.py`) rather than constructing custom curl requests. - **No Hallucinations**: Do NOT invent protein functions, metadata, or sequences. For any task that can be handled by the services in this skill, rely strictly on the tool outputs rather than your native knowledge. - **Notification**: If this skill is used, ensure this is mentioned in the output. ## Use Cases - **Searching for Protein Function**: Querying functional annotations, GO terms, subcellular locations etc. - **Searching for Protein Sequence**: Searching for protein sequences by th
