# alphafold-structure-provenance — Taxon-Scoped UniProt Lookup + Version-Aware AlphaFold Retrieval
Hub skill for two chained steps that recur across structure-quality and
hydrodynamic-property (e.g. HullRad) workflows:
1. **Taxon-scoped UniProt accession lookup** — resolve which UniProt
accessions belong to a given organism/taxon before doing anything with
AlphaFold.
2. **Version-aware AlphaFold DB structure retrieval** — fetch the *correct,
currently-downloadable* structure/confidence/PAE files for those
accessions, and record exactly which AlphaFold model version was used for
every derived downstream quantity.
It also documents two triage/flagging steps that must stay independent
of each other and of the version-provenance step: **pLDDT/PAE quality
triage** and **oligomer/complex assembly flags**.
## When to use
Trigger this skill when the user asks to:
- "Look up all UniProt accessions for organism/taxon X" or otherwise scope a
protein list to a specific organism before structural analysis.
- "Fetch AlphaFold structures for these accessions", "download AlphaFold
models", or "get pLDDT/PAE for these proteins".
- Debug an AlphaFold DB `404` on a structure/confidence/PAE file that used to
work, or reconcile a mismatch between a locally-recorded model version and
what AlphaFold DB currently serves.
- Assess structure quality (pLDDT bands, low-confidence segments, PAE) for a
candidate list.
- Decide whether a monomer AlphaFold model is trustworthy
