SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Researchers need to summarize gene or protein evidence from multiple public databases without losing track of which claim came from which source, and without overstating what abstracts or curated records actually support. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-source evidence retrieval: Queries UniProt for curated protein records and PubMed, Europe PMC, or arXiv for literature, matching the source to the research question. - Claim-to-source traceability: Attaches a canonical clickable citation (PMID, UniProt accession, arXiv ID) to every substantive claim and separates curated annotations from individual-paper findings. - Structured deliverables: Produces an evidence_brief.md and sources.json with retrieval metadata, limitations, and next evidence needed. - Use Case: Ask for a summary of a human gene's function; the Skill retrieves the reviewed UniProt entry, scans recent literature, and returns a cautious brief with a claim-to-source table and references. ## Quick Start Use the life-science-evidence-brief skill to research the function of human TP53 and produce a cited evidence brief with sources saved to files.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a cited evidence brief for a gene or protein?▼

State the gene or protein, organism, and research question, then let the Skill query UniProt for reviewed entries and PubMed or Europe PMC for supporting literature. It returns a structured brief with a claim-to-source table, limitations, and references.

What databases does this literature research workflow use?▼

It uses UniProt for curated protein records, PubMed and Europe PMC for biomedical literature, and arXiv for preprints. The source is selected based on the question, and only enabled connectors are queried.

Does the evidence brief include full-text article review?▼

No. Connector search returns metadata, abstracts, or curated records, not article full text. Each synthesis section is labeled by evidence type, and full-text review is only claimed if a separate paper-import step supplied it.

What happens when a database connector returns zero results?▼

The Skill explicitly states that no records were returned and narrows or revises the query instead of inventing sources. If a connector is disabled or fails, it reports which evidence class is missing.

Can I get clinical or treatment recommendations from the brief?▼

No. The Skill does not provide clinical interpretation or treatment advice from database summaries, and it avoids presenting associations as causation or model-system results as established human biology.
