Vendor-agnostic lab automation framework. Use when controlling multiple equipment types (Hamilton, Tecan, Opentrons, plate readers, pumps) or needing unified programming across different vendors. Best for complex workflows, multi-vendor setups, simulation. For Opentrons-only protocols with official API, opentrons-integration may be simpler.

Excellent lab automation skill with comprehensive coverage of PyLabRobot's vendor-agnostic framework. The SKILL.md provides crystal-clear descriptions of when to use the skill, core capabilities organized into 6 well-defined areas, and practical quick-start examples. The structure is exemplary: a concise overview with detailed knowledge distributed across 6 reference files (liquid-handling, resources, hardware-backends, analytical-equipment, material-handling, visualization). Task knowledge is thorough with working code examples for common workflows including liquid transfer and plate reading. The skill addresses a genuine complexity gap - coordinating multi-vendor lab equipment through unified Python APIs would require significant token overhead for a CLI agent to implement from scratch. Very minor room for improvement: could slightly expand the description to mention simulation capabilities more prominently. Overall, this is a high-quality skill that would meaningfully reduce costs for laboratory automation tasks.
