What it does
Ginkgo Cloud Lab is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills. Guides protocol selection, input preparation, pricing checks, and browser ordering on Ginkgo Bioworks Cloud Lab (cloud.ginkgo.bio). Applies to cell-free, E. coli, and Pichia protein expression; HiBiT, A280, and LabChip readouts; IVT mRNA/circRNA synthesis; thermal shift assays; Echo-MS methods; SPR target onboarding; plate-reader assay onboarding; and fluorescent pixel art.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cell-free-protein-expression-hibit.md`, `references/cell-free-protein-expression-optimization.md` and `references/cell-free-protein-expression-validation.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires network access and a browser for Ginkgo Cloud Lab; account access may be needed for ordering and results.
It sits in Game Development, covering Sprites and pixel art. The repository describes itself as: Turn any AI agent into an AI Scientist. The 1 Agent Skills library for science, used by 250,000+ scientists worldwide. 177 ready-to-use validated skills plus 100+ scientific… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 92ace75. 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.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
cloud.ginkgo.bioginkgo.bioarxiv.orgdoi.orgexport.arxiv.org
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.
Compatibility
Requires network access and a browser for Ginkgo Cloud Lab; account access may be needed for ordering and results.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Ginkgo Cloud Lab loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,169 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.

Ginkgo Cloud Lab
Overview
Ginkgo Cloud Lab (https://cloud.ginkgo.bio) provides remote access to Ginkgo Bioworks' autonomous lab infrastructure. Protocols use Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs), modular units with robotic arms and plate transport, across a catalog-advertised fleet of 70+ integrated instruments.
The platform also includes EstiMate, a compatibility and pricing assistant that accepts protocol descriptions, files, or links and returns preliminary estimates for custom workflows.
The catalog is organized into Expression & Purification (in vitro / cell-free / E. coli / Pichia), Characterization & Assay, Method & Target Onboarding, and Specialty. Pick a protocol below, then read its reference file for inputs, outputs, the automated workflow, and ordering details.
Available Protocols
The following prices, availability labels, and turnaround text are a 2026-09-30 catalog snapshot, not a configured quote. References link to the corresponding service terms. Catalog and terms sometimes disagree on days versus business days, input format, or readout scope; resolve those differences in the service order.

Coming soon: Protein Expression and Binding Affinity Characterization (express + purify, then screen binding affinity against a target).
Choosing a Protocol
- Quick expressibility screen? Cell-free HiBiT ($39) or Validate sequence expression ($39).
- Need purified protein + yield? A280 tiers (cell-free or E. coli); add LabChip for purity/size.
- Difficult / membrane / disulfide / cofactor targets? Cell-free Optimize (24-condition DoE).
- Secreted or eukaryotic targets? Pichia expression.
- Screening de novo binders/minibinders? Expression tiers screen yield; SPR onboarding qualifies the target. Confirm availability of the separate downstream binding service before planning kinetics.
- Enzyme activity / biocatalysis? Echo-MS enzymatic detection (onboard the analyte method first).
- Stability / developability ranking? Thermal shift assay.
- RNA (mRNA/circRNA)? IVT synthesis + qPCR.
- Transfer an existing plate-reader assay? Plate-reader onboarding; check its single-factor, 96-well, fluorescence scope before preparing the intake.
General Ordering Workflow
Treat the tables above as planning estimates. Recheck the selected protocol's current catalog page and configured quote for the actual sample count, replicates, readout, and turnaround before ordering. Save the protocol URL, downloaded input-template revision, submitted construct manifest, replicate/plate map, quote identifier, and access date together. A feasibility report or quote is not evidence that execution has started or that results passed QC.
- Select a protocol at https://cloud.ginkgo.bio/protocols
- Configure parameters (number of proteins/samples/molecules/targets, replicates, plates)
- Download the template linked on that protocol page and inspect its actual format and fields. Broad upload extensions do not define the intake schema. Keep construct IDs, sequence type, tag/linker, replicate count, and plate mapping explicit; distinguish technical replicates from independent expression reactions.
- Add any special requirements in the Additional Details field
- For an authorized order, provide the order email, complete required fields, review the service terms, and add the configured service to the cart. Preserve the configured total and order acknowledgment; an added cart item is not an accepted or executed run.
For custom workflows, use EstiMate. Its preliminary estimate is separate from ordering a catalog service. Do not report submission, payment, acceptance, execution, or QC success without the corresponding confirmation.

Access and automation boundary
Use the public catalog and the site's sign-in flow when account access is needed. For access or template discrepancies, use the official contact page.
This skill covers the browser storefront. No public Cloud Lab submission API, SDK,
CLI, authentication-token contract, or pagination contract was identified in the
official material reviewed on 2026-09-30. The /protocols, /estimate, /art,
and /gallery URLs are web pages, not documented REST endpoints. Ginkgo's
Catalyst software advertises REST
integration for installed automation systems; that is not a published Cloud Lab
ordering contract. Do not invent programmatic order calls.
Interpreting results
- A280 concentration depends on the construct's extinction coefficient and eluate background; it does not establish purity or binding activity. Use the LabChip tier when size/purity data are required.
- HiBiT reports a tag-associated signal relative to a standard. Preserve background subtraction, calibration units, matrix controls, and QC flags when comparing constructs.
- Do not equate an expression, onboarding, or thermal-stability result with functional activity. Record the specific assay readout and its controls alongside any ranking.
- Keep RNA spectrophotometric concentration separate from relative or absolute RT-qPCR results; the calibration-standard requirement applies to absolute qPCR, and RNA integrity assessment is outside the IVT service scope.
Key Infrastructure
- RACs (Reconfigurable Automation Carts): Modular robotic units with dedicated arms and plate transport tracks
- Catalyst Orchestrator: Protocol orchestration, scheduling, parameterization, and real-time monitoring
- 70+ integrated instruments: Agilent Bravo liquid handlers, Beckman/Labcyte Echo acoustic dispensers, BMG PHERAstar / Tecan Spark readers, Revvity LabChip, Bio-Rad CFX Opus, Nicoya Alto SPR, SciEx Echo-MS, Inheco/Cytomat incubators, and more
- Nebula: Ginkgo's autonomous lab facility in Boston, MA
