What it does

Orient Lab is an agent skill from fl-sean03/OpenSDL. Inspect the current OpenSDL repository and declared laboratory state. Use when a user asks for current status or needs a declared-state baseline before a concrete task; use start-here for setup planning, inventory changes, or new equipment.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `run.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: A modular Python foundation for reproducible computational and autonomous laboratories. Alpha; the reference profile is simulator-only. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A user asks for current status
  • Needs a declared-state baseline before a concrete task
  • Use start-here for setup planning
  • Inventory changes

Example prompts

  • “/orient-lab”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and inspect git status --short, the branch, and recent commits.
  2. Read the shared laboratory context under docs/lab/ when present. Treat facts, assumptions,
  3. Read the selected manifest and identify its environment, storage, adapters, capabilities,
  4. Run .agents/skills/orient-lab/run.sh MANIFEST to validate files without opening the runtime
  5. Read only the architecture and workflow files needed for the user's task.
  6. doctor, capability listing, run inspection, and event queries read without writing: they
  7. Never pass --reconcile while work may be in flight: it moves every running run to
  8. Report current evidence, mismatches, active assumptions, and commands that are unavailable.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 43f4988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Orient Lab loads about 534 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~534

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Inspect the current OpenSDL repository and declared laboratory state. Use when a user asks for current status or needs a declared-state baseline before a concrete task; use start-here for setup planning, inventory changes, or new equipment.

Orient to a laboratory

Inputs

  • manifest path
  • optional run identifier or workflow path that defines the current task

Use start-here instead when the user is establishing the lab, changing its setup plan, or adding newly reported equipment.

Procedure

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and inspect git status --short, the branch, and recent commits.
  2. Read the shared laboratory context under docs/lab/ when present. Treat facts, assumptions, decisions, inventory evidence, and lab-specific work as planning context rather than runtime evidence.
  3. Read the selected manifest and identify its environment, storage, adapters, capabilities, resources, and policy version.
  4. Run .agents/skills/orient-lab/run.sh MANIFEST to validate files without opening the runtime store.
  5. Read only the architecture and workflow files needed for the user's task.
  6. doctor, capability listing, run inspection, and event queries read without writing: they compose the laboratory read-only and refuse to create a store that is not there. doctor reconciles incomplete runs only when asked with --reconcile, and reports what it moved.
  7. Never pass --reconcile while work may be in flight: it moves every running run to intervention_required and releases its leases, which is recovery after a controller stopped, not a health check.
  8. Report current evidence, mismatches, active assumptions, and commands that are unavailable.

Completion

The user receives an on-demand summary tied to the current Git revision, validated manifest, declared environment, adapters, capabilities, resources, and policy. Any runtime evidence is marked as a state-touching query.

Stop conditions

Stop if the manifest is missing or validation fails. Do not infer health, active runs, or physical state from declared configuration.
