Query and download NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC) cancer radiology and pathology datasets via the idc-index Python client. No authentication required: the parquet index ships inside the pip wheel, SQL runs locally via DuckDB, and DICOM downloads stream from public S3/GCS buckets through s5cmd. Use sql_query() for DuckDB cohort selection, get_collections/get_patients/get_dicom_studies/get_dicom_series for hierarchical browsing, download_from_selection() for downloads, and get_viewer_URL() for OHI

One of 12 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
When calling client.get_patients('nsclc_radiomics'), what parameter and value must be passed to return the patient listing as a pandas DataFrame instead of a dictionary?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Sets parameter outputFormat='df' to return a pandas DataFrame. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
NCI Imaging Data Commons (IDC) is the largest public collection of cancer imaging data, hosting 175+ DICOM collections (CT, MR, PET, slide microscopy, segmentations, structured reports). The idc-index Python client ships the entire IDC metadata catalog as a parquet file bundled inside the pip wheel; IDCClient() loads it into DuckDB, so sql_query() runs locally with zero network calls.
Image downloads stream from public AWS S3 (default) or Google Cloud Storage buckets via the bundled s5cmd executable. No GCP/AWS credentials, no BigQuery billing, no service account JSON.
