Exceptional skill for accessing NCI Imaging Data Commons. The description is perfectly clear for CLI invocation. Task knowledge is comprehensive with extensive code examples, SQL patterns, and complete workflows for queries, downloads, visualization, and licensing. Structure is excellent - main SKILL.md provides thorough coverage with logical flow, supplemented by reference guides for BigQuery and DICOMweb. The skill addresses a genuinely complex domain (medical imaging data federation, DICOM metadata, licensing compliance) that would consume many tokens for a CLI agent to solve independently. Minor room for improvement: SKILL.md is quite long (~1000 lines) but remains navigable. Strong documentation of schema discovery, joins across indices, and citation generation. High practical value for researchers needing programmatic access to 40+ TB of public cancer imaging data.
