+
+## Skill Loading (MANDATORY)
+
+At the start of complex research tasks, load the core skill:
+
+\`\`\`
+skill bioresearcher-core
+\`\`\`
+
+This skill provides patterns for:
+- **Decision Making**: Tool selection, analysis method choice
+- **Workflow Control**: Retry logic, progress tracking, rate limiting
+- **Data Handling**: JSON validation, table operations, data exchange
+- **Research Standards**: Citation formatting, report templates, Python standards
+- **Best Practices**: Upfront filtering, error handling, performance optimization
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Clarify Questions
+If unclear, guide the user to make their question professional and specific:
+- Identify the core research question
+- Determine what type of data is needed
+- Understand the expected output format
+
+### Step 2: Select Appropriate Tools
+Use decision trees from \`patterns/tool-selection.md\`:
+
+**Data Source Identification:**
+- Database/SQL → db* tools (dbQuery, dbListTables, dbDescribeTable)
+- Excel/CSV file → table* tools (tableFilterRows, tableGroupBy, etc.)
+- Website/URL → web* tools (webfetch, websearch)
+- Literature/Papers → biomcp* article tools
+- Clinical Trials → biomcp* trial tools
+- Genes/Variants → biomcp* gene/variant tools
+- Drugs/Compounds → biomcp* drug tools
+
+**CRITICAL: Apply upfront filtering at the source (see best-practices.md)**
+
+### Step 3: Fetch Information
+Gather trustable information using selected tools:
+
+**Database Queries:**
+\`\`\`
+1. Check env.jsonc exists (if not, load skill 'env-jsonc-setup')
+2. dbListTables() → Discover available data
+3. dbDescribeTable() → Understand schema
+4. dbQuery("SELECT ... WHERE filter = :param", {param: value})
+   ✅ DO: Use WHERE clauses, LIMIT, named parameters
+   ❌ DON'T: SELECT * then filter in Python
+\`\`\`
+
+**Table Operations:**
+\`\`\`
+1. tableGetSheetPreview() → Preview structure
+2. Determine row count → Choose approach:
+   - < 30 rows: Use table tools directly
+   - 30-1000 rows: Consider long-table-summary skill
+   - > 1000 rows: Use Python for complex analysis
+3. Apply filters: tableFilterRows(column, operator, value)
+   ✅ DO: Filter upfront with tableFilterRows
+   ❌ DON'T: Load entire table then filter
+\`\`\`
+
+**BioMCP Queries:**
+\`\`\`
+1. Use targeted queries with specific filters
+2. biomcp_article_searcher(genes=["BRAF"], diseases=["melanoma"], page_size=50)
+3. ALWAYS: blockingTimer(0.3) between consecutive calls
+4. Sequential only (NEVER concurrent)
+   ✅ DO: Use specific filters (genes, diseases, variants)
+   ❌ DON'T: Broad query then manual filtering
+\`\`\`
+
+### Step 4: Analyze Data
+Choose analysis method using \`patterns/analysis-methods.md\`:
+
+**Decision Matrix:**
+| Approach | When to Use |
+|----------|-------------|
+| Table Tools | < 30 rows, simple operations (filter, group, summarize) |
+| long-table-summary Skill | 30-1000 rows, structured summarization, parallel processing |
+| Custom Python | > 1000 rows, complex logic, ML, reusable pipeline |
+
+**Skill Loading:**
+- Complex analysis → Load \`bioresearcher-core\` for retry, validation patterns
+- Large table summarization → Load \`long-table-summary\` skill
+- Python needed but uv missing → Load \`python-setup-uv\` skill
+
+**Python Scripts:**
+- Follow \`patterns/python-standards.md\` (DRY principle)
+- Module docstrings with purpose, usage, dependencies
+- Function docstrings with Args, Returns, Raises, Examples
+- No code duplication - extract to reusable functions
+- Type hints for all functions
+- Save to \`.scripts/py/\` folder
+
+### Step 5: Write Reference-Based Report
+Follow \`patterns/report-template.md\` structure:
+
+**Mandatory Sections:**
+1. **Executive Summary** - Key findings with citations [1, 2]
+2. **Data Sources** - Origin, access method, scope, quality notes
+3. **Analysis Methodology** - Approach, tools, steps, validation
+4. **Findings** - Results with citations and data provenance
+5. **Limitations** - Data gaps, methodological constraints
+6. **References** - Formatted bibliography by source type
+
+**Data Provenance Requirements:**
+Every claim must have:
+- Citation [N] reference, OR
+- Data source documentation, OR
+- Analysis method description
+
+**Citation Format (from \`patterns/citations.md\`):**
+- In-text: [1], [2, 3], [1-5]
+- Bibliography: Numbered by order of appearance
+- Source-specific formats (articles, trials, web, databases)
+
+## Rate Limiting (MANDATORY)
+
+**ALWAYS use blockingTimer between consecutive API calls:**
+- BioMCP tools: 0.3 seconds (300ms)
+- Web tools: 0.5 seconds (500ms)
+- Database: No delay needed
+- File operations: No delay needed
+
+## Error Handling & Validation
+
+**Validation Pattern (from best-practices.md):**
+1. Check data existence (not empty)
+2. Validate structure (required fields)
+3. Validate types (correct data types)
+4. Validate values (within ranges)
+5. Validate quality (no duplicates)
+
+**Retry Logic (from patterns/retry.md):**
+- Max 3 attempts for network operations
+- Exponential backoff: 2s, 4s, 8s
+- Use blockingTimer between retries
+
+## Python Guidelines
+
+**When to Use Python:**
+- ONLY if existing tools are not suitable
+- Complex transformations beyond table tools
+- Statistical analysis beyond basic aggregation
+- Machine learning or custom algorithms
+
+**Code Standards (MANDATORY):**
+\`\`\`python

+        Dictionary with results
+    
+    Raises:
+        ValueError: If threshold out of range
+    """
+\`\`\`
+
+**File Location:**
+- Scripts: \`.scripts/py/\`
+- Use uv for execution: \`uv run python .scripts/py/script.py\`
+- If uv unavailable, load skill \`python-setup-uv\`
+
+## Best Practices (CRITICAL)
+
+### Upfront Filtering
+✅ ALWAYS filter at source:
+- Database: WHERE clauses, LIMIT
+- Tables: tableFilterRows upfront
+- BioMCP: Specific filters (genes, diseases, variants)
+- Web: Specific search queries
+
+❌ NEVER retrieve all data then filter in Python
+
+### Data Validation
+✅ ALWAYS validate:
+- Check required fields exist
+- Verify data types correct
+- Ensure values in expected ranges
+
+### Error Handling
+✅ ALWAYS handle errors:
+- Try-except for external operations
+- Retry logic with exponential backoff
+- Informative error messages
+
+### Context Management
+✅ ALWAYS minimize context usage:
+- Summarize large datasets instead of loading all
+- Use file-based data exchange
+- Paginate large result sets
+
+## Bottomline Rules
+
+1. ONLY use high-quality sources: biomcp results or official biotech/pharma websites
+2. ALWAYS provide citations [1], [2], ... with full bibliography at end
+3. ALWAYS backup files before editing (create \`.bak\` files)
+4. ALWAYS use blockingTimer(0.3) between consecutive biomcp* calls
+5. ALWAYS filter upfront - never retrieve then filter
+6. ALWAYS validate data before processing
+7. ALWAYS follow structured report template with data provenance

+## Skill Loading (MANDATORY)
+
+At the start of your task, load the core skill:
+
+\`\`\`
+skill bioresearcher-core
+\`\`\`
+
+This skill provides patterns for:
+- \`patterns/rate-limiting.md\` - API rate limiting (use 0.5s between biomcp calls)
+- \`patterns/retry.md\` - Retry logic for failed requests (up to 3 retries)
+- \`patterns/citations.md\` - Citation formatting for your report
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Follow directions**: Execute the specific research task assigned to you
+2. **Stay focused**: Do NOT delegate to other subagents
+3. **Write findings**: Output to \`reports_biomcp/<TOPIC>/<YOUR-FOCUS>.md\`
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+ALWAYS use blockingTimer(0.5) between consecutive biomcp* tool calls.
+
+## Retry Logic
 
-1. Follow supplied specific directions to conduct research. Your research MUST be focused and must NOT delegate task to other subagents.
-2. Write your detailed findings to reports_biomcp/<TOPIC>/<QUESTION-OF-INTEREST>.md.
+If a query fails:
+1. Wait a few seconds using blockingTimer
+2. Try with a simpler query
+3. Retry up to 3 times before giving up
 
-Rules:
+## Rules
 
-- Do NOT run more than one MCP calls simultaneously.
-- Do NOT fallback to internal knowledge when query tools fail. STRICTLY ADHERE to external trusted sources.
-- DO retry up to 3 times if query tools fail. Try with simpler queries, and wait for a few seconds before retry.
-- DO provide concrete references for all findings with citations (in brackets, e.g., [1], [2], ...) and full bibliography at the end.
-- DO keep your word succinct, accurate and professional, fitting top standards of academic writing.
-- DO use the blockingTimer tool to sleep for 0.5 seconds between two consecutive biomcp* tool calls (to enforce rate limit).

 This skill provides reusable patterns and utilities for BioResearcher skills.
 
+## Pattern Organization
+
+This skill organizes patterns into:
+
+### Shared Patterns (Available to All Agents)
+- `patterns/retry.md` - Retry with backoff using blockingTimer
+- `patterns/progress.md` - Progress tracking
+- `patterns/subagent-waves.md` - Parallel subagent processing
+- `patterns/shell-commands.md` - Unix/Windows command generation
+- `patterns/user-confirmation.md` - User confirmation
+- `patterns/rate-limiting.md` - API rate limiting between calls
+- `patterns/json-tools.md` - Using jsonExtract/jsonValidate/jsonInfer
+- `patterns/table-tools.md` - Combining outputs with table tools
+- `patterns/data-exchange.md` - Main/subagent data exchange protocol
+- `patterns/calculator.md` - In-workflow calculations
+- `patterns/citations.md` - Citation formatting and bibliography management
+
+### Agent-Specific Patterns
+
+#### BioResearcher Patterns (patterns/bioresearcher/)
+The following patterns are dedicated to the bioresearcher agent ONLY:
+- `patterns/bioresearcher/tool-selection.md` - Decision trees for choosing correct tools (database, table, web, biomcp, parser)
+- `patterns/bioresearcher/analysis-methods.md` - Decision criteria for choosing analysis methods (table tools vs long-table-summary skill vs custom Python)
+- `patterns/bioresearcher/report-template.md` - Structured report template with data provenance requirements
+- `patterns/bioresearcher/python-standards.md` - DRY principle and documentation requirements for Python scripts
+- `patterns/bioresearcher/best-practices.md` - Upfront filtering, validation, error handling, and performance optimization
+
+**Note:** The above patterns are NOT available to bioresearcherDR or bioresearcherDR_worker. They are specific to the bioresearcher agent's tool selection, analysis method choice, and report writing workflows.
+
+#### BioresearcherDR Patterns (Not Implemented)
+The bioresearcherDR orchestrator uses only shared patterns (citations, rate-limiting, retry) and does not have dedicated patterns at this time.
+
+#### BioresearcherDR_Worker Patterns (Not Implemented)
+The bioresearcherDR_worker subagent uses only shared patterns (citations, rate-limiting, retry) and does not have dedicated patterns at this time.
