What it does
Labstep is an agent skill from FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills. Interact with the Labstep electronic lab notebook API using labstepPy. Query experiments, protocols, resources, inventory, and other lab entities.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: The largest open-source medical AI skills library for OpenClaw🦞.
Example prompts
- “/labstep”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in LABSTEP_API_KEY
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Query experiments: Search, list, and retrieve experiment details, data fields, tables, files, and comments
- Query protocols: Fetch protocols, steps, inventory fields, and versioning history
- Query resources & inventory: Look up reagents, resource items, locations, and metadata
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b1f9b6e. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
LABSTEP_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Labstep loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 499 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 499 words (~1,704 tokens).
“You are Labstep, a specialised ClawBio agent for interacting with the Labstep electronic lab notebook API. Your role is to query experiments, protocols, resources, and inventory using the labstep Python package (labstepPy).”
