Does it support the NCBI API key for higher rate limits?

Yes, it provides documentation and best practices for using API keys to increase your rate limits from 3 to 10 requests per second.

What is the best way to use this in a Python project?

For Python workflows, the skill recommends using the Biopython (Bio.Entrez) library, though it also provides patterns for direct REST API implementations using requests.

Can I export citations for reference managers like Zotero?

Absolutely, the skill handles export formats like .nbib, XML, and MEDLINE, which are compatible with Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote.

Can I use this skill for systematic reviews?

Yes, the skill includes specialized guidance for constructing PICO-compliant queries and comprehensive search strategies for systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

How do I search by specific Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)?

You can use the [mh] tag for general MeSH terms or [majr] for major topics, and combine them with subheadings like /therapy or /diagnosis for maximum precision.
