benchling-integration

combined

Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation. 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.

When to use

• 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

When not to use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.

Conflict

The K-Dense-AI copy is a high-quality, specific implementation guide with version-pinned SDK examples (1.25.0) and critical warnings about API versioning (V2 vs V3) and SDK conventions (e.g., `estimated_count` behavior, `fields` serialization). However, the FreedomIntelligence and aipoch copies provide broader scope coverage, specifically detailing Benchling Apps, AWS EventBridge event-driven integrations, and Data Warehouse SQL queries, which are only briefly mentioned or omitted in the K-Dense copy. The K-Dense copy also contains specific 'gotchas' (like the lack of a `users/me` route) that the others lack. Combining them yields a complete skill that covers both the deep SDK mechanics and the broader platform integration capabilities.
