Individual skill
pylabrobot
Laboratory automation toolkit for controlling liquid handlers, plate readers, pumps, heater shakers, incubators, centrifuges, and analytical equipment. Use this skill when automating laboratory workflows, programming liquid handling robots (Hamilton STAR, Opentrons OT-2, Tecan EVO), integrating lab equipment, managing deck layouts and resources (plates, tips, containers), reading plates, or creating reproducible laboratory protocols. Applicable for both simulated protocols and physical hardware control.

# PyLabRobot
## Overview
PyLabRobot is a hardware-agnostic, pure Python Software Development Kit for automated and autonomous laboratories. Use this skill to control liquid handling robots, plate readers, pumps, heater shakers, incubators, centrifuges, and other laboratory automation equipment through a unified Python interface that works across platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux).
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Programming liquid handling robots (Hamilton STAR/STARlet, Opentrons OT-2, Tecan EVO)
- Automating laboratory workflows involving pipetting, sample preparation, or analytical measurements
- Managing deck layouts and laboratory resources (plates, tips, containers, troughs)
- Integrating multiple lab devices (liquid handlers, plate readers, heater shakers, pumps)
- Creating reproducible laboratory protocols with state management
