Pylabrobot

If you're automating lab workflows with liquid handlers like Hamilton STAR or Opentrons OT-2, this gives Claude direct access to PyLabRobot's API for writing pipetting protocols, managing deck layouts, and controlling plate readers or heater shakers. It's hardware-agnostic Python that works across platforms, and the big win is you can simulate protocols with ChatterboxBackend before running them on physical equipment. The skill covers six main areas from basic aspirate/dispense operations to full resource management with volume tracking. Best for when you need to generate reproducible protocols, integrate multiple lab devices, or translate experimental workflows into executable code without manually looking up API syntax.
