protocolsio-integration

combined

Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation. Reads, validates, and safely exports protocols.io data with current official REST/MCP contracts, or creates non-executing mutation plans. The bundled client makes bounded official-host GET requests only with explicit --execute. Use only for tasks explicitly targeting protocols.io or an exact protocols.io protocol version.

When to use

• **Protocol Discovery**: Searching for existing protocols by keywords, DOI, or category
• **Protocol Management**: Creating, updating, or publishing scientific protocols
• **Step Management**: Adding, editing, or organizing protocol steps and procedures
• **Collaborative Development**: Working with team members on shared protocols
• **Workspace Organization**: Managing lab or institutional protocol repositories
• **Discussion & Feedback**: Adding or responding to protocol comments
• **File Management**: Uploading data files, images, or documents to protocols
• **Experiment Tracking**: Documenting protocol executions and results

Conflict

The two copies describe the same protocols.io integration task but disagree on the API version, safety model, and scope. The K-Dense copy is a strict, security-focused skill that mixes v3 and v4 endpoints, requires --execute for network access, and explicitly forbids the old v3 patterns. The FreedomIntelligence copy is a broad, general-purpose guide that assumes a single API v3 base and includes capabilities (workspaces, discussions, profiles) that the K-Dense copy does not cover or explicitly excludes. Because the FreedomIntelligence copy lacks the critical safety constraints and version-specific corrections of the K-Dense copy, and the K-Dense copy lacks the broader feature coverage of the FreedomIntelligence copy, crowning one would hide a real alternative or a critical safety gap.
