ginkgo-cloud-lab
Submit and manage protocols on Ginkgo Bioworks Cloud Lab (cloud.ginkgo.bio), a web-based interface for autonomous lab execution on Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs). Use when the user wants to run cell-free protein expression (validation or optimization), generate fluorescent pixel art, or interact with Ginkgo Cloud Lab services. Covers protocol selection, input preparation, pricing, and ordering workflows.
What this skill does
# Ginkgo Cloud Lab ## Overview Ginkgo Cloud Lab (https://cloud.ginkgo.bio) provides remote access to Ginkgo Bioworks' autonomous lab infrastructure. Protocols are executed on Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs) -- modular units with robotic arms, maglev sample transport, and industrial-grade software spanning 70+ instruments. The platform also includes **EstiMate**, an AI agent that accepts human-language protocol descriptions and returns feasibility assessments and pricing for custom workflows beyond the listed protocols. ## Available Protocols ### 1. Cell Free Protein Expression Validation Rapid go/no-go expression screening using reconstituted E. coli CFPS. Submit a FASTA sequence (up to 1800 bp) and receive expression confirmation, baseline titer (mg/L), and initial purity with virtual gel images. - **Price:** $39/sample | **Turnaround:** 5-10 days | **Status:** Certified - **Details:** See [references/cell-free-protein-expression-validation.md](references/cell-free-protein-expression-validation.md) ### 2. Cell Free Protein Expression Optimization DoE-based optimization across up to 24 conditions per protein (lysates, temperatures, chaperones, disulfide enhancers, cofactors). Designed for difficult-to-express and membrane proteins. - **Price:** $199/sample | **Turnaround:** 6-11 days | **Status:** Certified - **Details:** See [references/cell-free-protein-expression-optimization.md](references/cell-free-protein-expression-optimization.md) ### 3. Fluorescent Pixel Art Generation Transform a pixel art image (48x48 to 96x96 px, PNG/SVG) into fluorescent bacterial artwork using up to 11 E. coli strains via acoustic dispensing. Delivered as high-res UV photographs. - **Price:** $25/plate | **Turnaround:** 5-7 days | **Status:** Beta - **Details:** See [references/fluorescent-pixel-art-generation.md](references/fluorescent-pixel-art-generation.md) ## General Ordering Workflow 1. Select a protocol at https://cloud.ginkgo.bio/protocols 2. Configure parameters (number of samples/proteins, replicates, plates) 3. Upload input files (FASTA for protein protocols, PNG/SVG for pixel art) 4. Add any special requirements in the Additional Details field 5. Submit and receive a feasibility report and price quote For protocols not listed above, use the **EstiMate** chat to describe a custom protocol in plain language and receive compatibility assessment and pricing. ## Authentication Access Ginkgo Cloud Lab at https://cloud.ginkgo.bio. Account creation or institutional access may be required. Contact Ginkgo at [email protected] for access questions. ## Key Infrastructure - **RACs (Reconfigurable Automation Carts):** Modular robotic units with high-precision arms and maglev transport - **Catalyst Software:** Protocol orchestration, scheduling, parameterization, and real-time monitoring - **70+ integrated instruments:** Sample prep, liquid handling, analytical readouts, storage, incubation - **Nebula:** Ginkgo's autonomous lab facility in Boston, MA

appbuilder-action-scaffolder
IncludedCreate, implement, deploy, and debug Adobe Runtime actions with consistent layout, validation, and error handling. Use this skill whenever the user needs to add actions to an App Builder project, understand action structure (params, response format, web/raw actions), configure actions in the manifest, use App Builder SDKs (State, Files, Events, database), deploy and invoke actions via CLI, debug action issues, or implement patterns such as webhook receivers, custom event providers, journaling consumers, large payload redirects, action sequence pipelines, and Asset Compute workers. Also trigger when users mention serverless functions in Adobe context, action logging, IMS authentication for actions, or cron-style scheduled actions.
orchestrating-datacloud
IncludedSalesforce Data Cloud product orchestrator for connect→prepare→harmonize→segment→act workflows. Use this skill when the user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, cross-phase troubleshooting, or data space and data kit management. TRIGGER when: user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, asks to set up or troubleshoot Data Cloud across phases, manages data spaces or data kits, or wants a cross-phase sf data360 workflow. DO NOT TRIGGER when: work is isolated to a single phase (use the matching phase-specific skill), the task is STDM/session tracing/parquet telemetry (use observing-agentforce), standard CRM SOQL (use querying-soql), or Apex implementation (use generating-apex).
github-project-automation
IncludedAutomate GitHub repository setup with CI/CD workflows, issue templates, Dependabot, and CodeQL security scanning. Includes 12 production-tested workflows and prevents 18 errors: YAML syntax, action pinning, and configuration. Use when: setting up GitHub Actions CI/CD, creating issue/PR templates, enabling Dependabot or CodeQL scanning, deploying to Cloudflare Workers, implementing matrix testing, or troubleshooting YAML indentation, action version pinning, secrets syntax, runner versions, or CodeQL configuration. Keywords: github actions, github workflow, ci/cd, issue templates, pull request templates, dependabot, codeql, security scanning, yaml syntax, github automation, repository setup, workflow templates, github actions matrix, secrets management, branch protection, codeowners, github projects, continuous integration, continuous deployment, workflow syntax error, action version pinning, runner version, github context, yaml indentation error
sf-datacloud
IncludedSalesforce Data Cloud product orchestrator for connect→prepare→harmonize→segment→act workflows. TRIGGER when: user needs a multi-step Data Cloud pipeline, asks to set up or troubleshoot Data Cloud across phases, manages data spaces or data kits, or wants a cross-phase `sf data360` workflow. DO NOT TRIGGER when: work is isolated to a single phase (use the matching sf-datacloud-* skill), the task is STDM/session tracing/parquet telemetry (use sf-ai-agentforce-observability), standard CRM SOQL (use sf-soql), or Apex implementation (use sf-apex).
fabric-cli
IncludedUse this skill for Fabric.so CLI workflows with the `fabric` terminal command: diagnose/install/login, search or browse a Fabric library, save notes/links/files, create folders, ask the Fabric AI assistant, manage tasks/workspaces, generate shell completion, check subscription usage, produce JSON output, and use Fabric as persistent agent memory. Do not use for Microsoft Fabric/Azure/Power BI `fab`, Daniel Miessler's Fabric framework, Python Fabric SSH, Fabric.js, or textile/fashion fabric.
lark
IncludedLark/Feishu CLI skills: lark-cli operations for docs, markdown, sheets, base, calendar, im, mail, task, okr, drive, wiki, slides, whiteboard, apps, approval, attendance, contact, vc, minutes, event. Use when the user needs to operate Lark/Feishu resources via lark-cli, send messages, manage documents, spreadsheets, calendars, tasks, OKRs, deploy web pages, or any Feishu/Lark workspace operations.
