How does it help with protocol safety?

The skill generates code that supports protocol simulation modes and provides best practices for tip management and air gaps to prevent cross-contamination.

Does this skill support the latest Opentrons API?

Yes, it specializes in Protocol API v2, supporting version 2.19 and beyond for both the OT-2 and the newer Opentrons Flex hardware.

Does it handle 8-channel and 96-channel pipetting?

Yes, it includes specific logic for multi-channel pipette operations to optimize 96-well plate workflows and row/column-wise transfers.

Can I control hardware modules like the Thermocycler?

Absolutely. The skill provides patterns for controlling thermocyclers, heater-shakers, temperature modules, and magnetic modules via the API.
