Official Opentrons Protocol API for OT-2 and Flex robots. Use when writing protocols specifically for Opentrons hardware with full access to Protocol API v2 features. Best for production Opentrons protocols, official API compatibility. For multi-vendor automation or broader equipment control use pylabrobot.

Excellent comprehensive skill for Opentrons lab automation. The description clearly specifies when to use this skill (Opentrons-specific protocols) vs alternatives (pylabrobot). SKILL.md provides extensive task knowledge with complete code examples for all major operations: protocol structure, hardware loading, liquid handling, well access, module control, and common patterns (serial dilution, PCR, plate replication). Structure is logical with clear sections and progressive complexity. Referenced files (api_reference.md, templates) are appropriately mentioned for supplementary detail. Novelty is strong—writing production-ready Opentrons protocols with proper API v2 syntax, module orchestration, and complex pipetting patterns would require significant tokens and specialized knowledge without this skill. Minor improvement possible: could add more troubleshooting scenarios or advanced optimization techniques, but current coverage is highly practical and immediately actionable for a CLI agent.
