SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction in working with protocols.io by giving you an API-driven playbook for finding, creating, updating, collaborating on, and exporting scientific protocols.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Protocol discovery and lifecycle management: Search by keywords/filters/DOI, retrieve full protocol details, create, update, and publish (including DOI issuance).
  • Step, materials, and publication control: Add, edit, delete, and reorder steps; manage reagents/materials; generate PDFs and handle content formats.
  • Collaboration and organization: Manage protocol and step discussions with threaded comments; organize content in workspaces with role-based permissions.
  • File and experiment operations: Upload/download and organize files; track protocol runs with experiment records; handle notifications and exports.

Quick Start

Use the skill to plan an end-to-end workflow with protocols.io API v3 by asking: "How do I search for a protocol by keyword, retrieve its steps, post a step-level comment, upload related files to the workspace, and then generate a PDF for sharing?"
