Ncbi Sequence Fetch

Pulls genetic sequences directly from NCBI's databases into your workspace. You'll need uv installed, and while it works without an API key, you really want one to bump the rate limit from 3 to 10 requests per second. The skill handles credentials properly and notifies you about NCBI's terms on first use. Solid choice if you're doing bioinformatics work and tired of manually downloading FASTA files through the web interface. From Google DeepMind's science skills collection, which passed most security audits though Snyk flagged a warning worth checking.
