System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill consolidates best practices for using Coot's MCP API to improve reliability, performance, and correct usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Startup guidance and API-discovery patterns for loading essential MCP docs
  • Clear rules on preferring coot.*_py() direct calls over wrappers like coot_utils for performance
  • Decision patterns for when wrappers add value and how to structure robust model-building and validation tasks

Quick Start

Begin by applying the MCP usage guidelines to your scripts: prefer direct C++ bindings for single operations (e.g., coot.closest_atom_py(0)), avoid unnecessary coot_utils indirection, and consult the startup guidance to load essential API descriptions before running analyses.
