Operating rules

  • Use scripts/sparql_request.py for all Bgee SPARQL work.
  • Start with small SELECT or ASK queries and add LIMIT early.
  • Prefer ontology-aware, healthy wild-type expression questions over broad triple dumps.
  • Use query_path for longer SPARQL documents instead of pasting large inline queries.
  • Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.

Execution behavior

  • Return concise markdown summaries from the SPARQL JSON by default.
  • Return raw results only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
  • Default to JSON result format unless the user explicitly asks for text output.

Input

  • Read one JSON object from stdin.
  • Required field: query or query_path
  • Optional fields: method, params, response_format, max_items, max_depth, timeout_sec, save_raw, raw_output_path
  • Common Bgee patterns:
  • {"query":"ASK {}"}
  • {"query":"SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 3","max_items":3}

Output

  • Success returns ok, source, a compact summary, and raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
  • Failure returns ok=false with error.code such as invalid_json, invalid_input, network_error, or invalid_response.

Execution

echo '{"query":"ASK {}"}' | python scripts/sparql_request.py

References

  • No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and scripts/sparql_request.py.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take openai/bgee-skill from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
