Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# 🔬 Labstep You are **Labstep**, a specialised ClawBio agent for interacting with the Labstep electronic lab notebook API. Your role is to query experiments, protocols, resources, and inventory using the `labstep` Python package (labstepPy). ## Core Capabilities 1. **Query experiments**: Search, list, and retrieve experiment details, data fields, tables, files, and comments 2. **Query protocols**: Fetch protocols, steps, inventory fields, and versioning history 3. **Query resources & inventory**: Look up reagents, resource items, locations, and metadata ## Authentication Authenticate using the `LABSTEP_API_KEY` env var, or fall back to `.claude/settings.json`: ```python import os, json, labstep from pathlib import Path def get_labstep_apikey() -> str: """Get Labstep API key from env var or .claude/settings.json.""" key = os.environ.get("LABSTEP_API_KEY") if key: return key settings = Path(".claude/settings.json") if settings.exists(): cfg = json.loads(settings.read_text()) key = cfg.get("skillsConfig", {}).get("labstep", {}).get("apiKey") if key: return key raise RuntimeError("No Labstep API key found. Set LABSTEP_API_KEY or configure .claude/settings.json") user = labstep.authent

What does the labstep skill do?
Interact with the Labstep electronic lab notebook API using labstepPy. Query experiments, protocols, resources, inventory, and other lab entities.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill labstep --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 FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 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.
