benchling-integration
Benchling Python SDK and REST API integration for registry entities, inventory, ELN entries, workflows, Benchling Apps, and Data Warehouse queries. Use when automating lab data with benchling-sdk or the v2 API.
npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill benchling-integration --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Benchling Integration ## Overview Benchling is a cloud platform for life sciences R&D. Access registry entities (DNA, RNA, proteins), inventory, electronic lab notebooks, and workflows programmatically via the Python SDK and REST API. **Version note:** Examples target **benchling-sdk 1.25.0** (latest stable on PyPI). Docs: [benchling.com/sdk-docs](https://benchling.com/sdk-docs/). Platform guide: [docs.benchling.com](https://docs.benchling.com/). ## When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: - Working with Benchling's Python SDK or REST API - Managing biological sequences (DNA, RNA, proteins) and registry entities - Automating inventory operations (samples, containers, locations, transfers) - Creating or querying electronic lab notebook entries - Building workflow automations or Benchling Apps - Syncing data between Benchling and external systems - Querying the Benchling Data Warehouse for analytics - Setting up event-driven integrations with AWS EventBridge ## Core Capabilities Seven capability areas, each with code, are in [references/core_capabilities.md](references/core_capabilities.md): 1. **Authentication and setup** — API key and OAuth app auth; see [references

What does the benchling-integration skill do?
Benchling Python SDK and REST API integration for registry entities, inventory, ELN entries, workflows, Benchling Apps, and Data Warehouse queries. Use when automating lab data with benchling-sdk or the v2 API.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill benchling-integration --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, a repository with 32,619 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
