What parts of the Benchling platform can I manage with this skill?

You can manage the Registry (DNA/RNA/Proteins), Inventory (samples, boxes, plates), Notebook (ELN entries), and Workflows (tasks and status updates).

Is bulk entity importing supported?

Absolutely. The skill includes best practices for bulk imports, such as processing FASTA files and managing large-scale inventory audits.

Does this skill support the Benchling Python SDK?

Yes, it provides specific implementation patterns for the benchling-sdk, including setup, authentication, and efficient pagination using generators.

How does the skill handle Benchling API authentication?

It supports both API Key authentication for simple scripts and OAuth Client Credentials for building enterprise-grade Benchling Apps.

Can I use this skill to automate data transfers to external systems?

Yes, the skill covers integration patterns with AWS EventBridge for real-time events and the Benchling Data Warehouse for batch analytics and syncing.
