pylabrobot SKILL.md skillA

pylabrobot from k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/pylabrobot@v1.5

Pins v1.5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Develops and reviews PyLabRobot lab-automation resources, liquid-handling plans, offline simulations, and supported-device integrations. Supports PyLabRobot protocols and API questions; keep physical execution behind an explicit operator safety gate.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# PyLabRobot

Use PyLabRobot's hardware-agnostic frontends, resource tree, trackers, and
device-specific backends to develop laboratory automation. Default to local
manifest validation, bookkeeping, and the software-only chatterbox backend.

## Verified snapshot

- PyPI stable: **`PyLabRobot==0.2.2`**, released **2026-07-30**.
- Upstream requirement: **Python >=3.9**; runtime checks here used **Python 3.13**.
- Hosted `/stable/` pages mix 0.2.1 API pages with development documentation.
  GitHub has no `v0.2.2` tag and its changelog has no 0.2.2 section. Use the
  released wheel/source distribution for the tested contract, not the URL label.
- Released liquid-handler backends include `STARBackend`, `VantageBackend`,
  `EVOBackend`, `OpentronsOT2Backend`, and the software-only
  `LiquidHandlerChatterboxBackend`.
- MicroSpin and `Plate.stacking_z_height` **are present in 0.2.2**, despite
  being listed under `Unreleased` in the current changelog. Newer development
  APIs, including the `track=` Hamilton deck keyword, are not this release.
- See the [release and transport review](references/review.md) for source
  hashes, tested behavior, and the known OT-2 cancellation mismatch.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/pylabrobot@sha256:b2aab8871006d84e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
