What rhea-skill does

This skill searches biochemical reactions in the Rhea registry using scripts/rest_request.py. Queries look up records by compound name or identifiers like RHEA:47148. The script reads JSON from stdin. The max_items field trims result size.

Codex prints a concise Markdown summary by default. Raw JSON appears only if requested directly. In longer conversations, the skill re-runs network queries instead of reusing outdated context.

It suits tasks that involve regular reaction lookups. Skip it if you rarely inspect biochemical databases.

What it helps with

  • search biochemical reactions by compound name
  • fetch reaction entries by Rhea identifier
  • query reaction data using an EC number
  • save raw Rhea JSON responses to disk

Example prompts for the agent

  • Search Rhea for caffeine reactions and give me a brief summary.
  • Fetch RHEA:47148 and show the raw JSON payload.
  • Find reactions matching this EC number with max 5 items.
