How do I install the Plant Public skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add minimax-ai/plant-public in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Plant Public safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Plant Public?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Plant Public free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Plant Public

Use when the user needs plant or Solanaceae gene/protein lookup via public APIs (UniProt, NCBI, InterPro, PDB, AlphaFold, Ensembl Plants, Sol Genomics, Arabidopsis BAR/ATTED/STRING), domain annotation, or structure summaries. Do not invent sequences; call the plant-public MCP tools.

File contents

plant-public

Call the plant-public MCP tools. Do not reimplement UniProt/NCBI/InterPro in ad-hoc scripts.

Routing

Protein annotation / FASTA → uniprot_summary, uniprot_fasta, uniprot_search
Nucleotide/gene/literature IDs → ncbi_search, ncbi_fetch, ncbi_search_fetch
Domains (NLR/LRR/kinase) → interproscan_run (needs the user's email)
Experimental or predicted structure → pdb_entry, pdb_search_by_sequence, alphafold_summary
Plant gene by species + symbol → ensembl_plants_gene (example species: solanum_lycopersicum)
Solanaceae BLAST / genome browser (no open API) → plant_resource_guide with key solgenomics
Arabidopsis function / biotic-stress eFP / coexpression / PPI → bar_*, atted_coexpression, string_interactions

Web-only resources (signalp6, plantcare, planttfdb, …) return submission steps only. Never fabricate those outputs.

Honesty

If an API fails, report the error. Missing full text or a web-only tool is a source gap, not a negative biological result.
