opentrons-integration

Author, review, migrate, simulate, and troubleshoot official Opentrons Python Protocol API v2 protocols for Flex and OT-2 robots. Use for robot-specific liquid handling, deck and labware setup, pipettes, modules, runtime parameters, liquid classes, and Opentrons App analysis. Use pylabrobot instead when one workflow must support multiple robot vendors.

Quality

Content

96%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable skill body with executable skeletons, a well-sequenced validated workflow, and clean progressive disclosure into reference and script files. The one weakness is two referenced requirements files that do not exist in the bundle.

Suggestions

Add the missing `requirements-flex.txt` and `requirements-ot2.txt` to the bundle (or correct the paths in the 'Install and Simulate' section) so the cited `uv pip install -r` commands are runnable.

Consider noting in the Reference Guide that `references/migration-api-2-19-to-2-29.md` is the designated 'old patterns / deprecated' home, reinforcing where time-sensitive migration guidance lives.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence, with no padding about basic concepts; every section (pinned versions, API gates, failure modes) earns its tokens and time-sensitive version info is confined to a dated baseline block.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready Flex and OT-2 protocol skeletons, exact `uv run`/`opentrons_simulate` commands, real labware and pipette load names, an API-feature gate table, and a Common Failure Modes list with concrete corrections.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 7-step Authoring Workflow and 'Validate in layers' checklist give a clear sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (py_compile, simulate, App analysis, dry run) and feedback loops, appropriate for this destructive/physical-operation skill.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized overview with one-level-deep references signaled via a Reference Guide table and a Bundled Templates table, with verified bundle files; the body references `requirements-flex.txt` and `requirements-ot2.txt` that are not present in the bundle, a minor navigation gap.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A highly specific, third-person description that clearly states both what the skill does and when to use it, with an explicit boundary against a competing vendor-agnostic skill. Its only minor gap is trigger-term synonym coverage.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions ('Author, review, migrate, simulate, and troubleshoot') alongside specific domain areas (liquid handling, deck setup, modules, runtime parameters), giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers 'what' (author/review/migrate/simulate/troubleshoot protocols) and 'when' with two concrete 'Use for...' trigger clauses covering robot-specific liquid handling and deck setup.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural terms include 'Opentrons', 'Flex', 'OT-2', 'liquid handling', 'pipettes', 'modules', and 'Opentrons App analysis'; a few natural synonyms or phrasings a user might say are not covered, keeping it just below comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear Opentrons Flex/OT-2 niche and explicitly disambiguates from the sibling pylabrobot skill ('Use pylabrobot instead when...'), minimizing wrong-skill triggering.
