Operating rules

  • Use scripts/rest_request.py for all PRIDE Archive calls.
  • Use base_url=https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/ws/archive/v2.
  • Start with projects for discovery and keep page sizes modest.
  • Prefer project-level metadata lookups over broad archive dumps.
  • Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output.

Execution behavior

  • Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
  • Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
  • Prefer these paths: projects and projects/<PXD accession>.

Input

  • Read one JSON object from stdin.
  • Required fields: base_url, path
  • Optional fields: method, params, headers, json_body, form_body, record_path, response_format, max_items, max_depth, timeout_sec, save_raw, raw_output_path
  • Common PRIDE patterns:
  • {"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/ws/archive/v2","path":"projects","params":{"keyword":"proteomics","pageSize":10},"max_items":10}
  • {"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/ws/archive/v2","path":"projects/PXD001357"}

Output

  • Success returns ok, source, path, method, status_code, warnings, and either compact records or a compact summary.
  • Use raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
  • Failure returns ok=false with error.code and error.message.

Execution

echo '{"base_url":"https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/ws/archive/v2","path":"projects","params":{"keyword":"proteomics","pageSize":10},"max_items":10}' | python scripts/rest_request.py

References

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

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take openai/pride-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.
