Life-Science Protocols
Make domain assumptions and missing protocol information visible before generic research procedures are treated as sufficient.
Procedure
- Record the biological system, sample or population, protocol identity and version, unit of analysis, controls, endpoints, timing, batches, and exclusion rules.
- Identify applicable bias sources, contamination or batch risks, blinding or randomization, and reporting context.
- Record the responsible institutional or domain authority for safety, ethics, clinical, animal, or biosafety decisions. The agent cannot approve them.
- For images, add acquisition modality, scale, channel, calibration, and preprocessing metadata.
- Obtain researcher confirmation of material design choices, then run
scripts/validate_protocol_record.pybefore downstream analysis.
Boundaries
This draft skill does not authorize laboratory work, diagnose or treat patients, replace ethics or biosafety review, or assert compliance with a guideline that has not been explicitly checked.
