Can it help with complex liquid handling techniques?

Absolutely. It provides patterns for advanced techniques including air gaps, blow-outs, touch-tips, and multi-channel pipette synchronization.

How does it handle protocol safety and simulation?

The skill includes patterns for protocol metadata requirements and conditional logic to detect if the protocol is running in simulation mode or on the actual hardware.

Can I control hardware modules like Thermocyclers?

Yes, the skill includes full support for the Temperature Module, Magnetic Module, Heater-Shaker Module, and Thermocycler Module (V1 and V2).

Does it support the Opentrons Flex specifically?

Yes, it includes Flex-specific commands such as loading Flex instruments (p1000_single_flex), controlling rail lights, and managing Flex deck slots.

Which Opentrons API version does this skill support?

This skill is specifically designed for the Opentrons Protocol API v2, which is the standard for both the Flex and OT-2 robot systems.
