SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction in working with protocols.io by giving you an API-driven playbook for finding, creating, updating, collaborating on, and exporting scientific protocols.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Protocol discovery and lifecycle management: Search by keywords/filters/DOI, retrieve full protocol details, create, update, and publish (including DOI issuance).
  • Step, materials, and publication control: Add, edit, delete, and reorder steps; manage reagents/materials; generate PDFs and handle content formats.
  • Collaboration and organization: Manage protocol and step discussions with threaded comments; organize content in workspaces with role-based permissions.
  • File and experiment operations: Upload/download and organize files; track protocol runs with experiment records; handle notifications and exports.

Quick Start

Use the skill to plan an end-to-end workflow with protocols.io API v3 by asking: "How do I search for a protocol by keyword, retrieve its steps, post a step-level comment, upload related files to the workspace, and then generate a PDF for sharing?"

Can I publish a scientific protocol and generate a DOI?

Yes, protocol lifecycle management supports publishing protocols directly, which includes DOI issuance for citation and generating PDFs for sharing.

Does protocols.io API integration support threaded discussions on specific protocol steps?

Threaded discussions are supported, enabling you to post and manage step-level comments and protocol-level collaboration directly through the API endpoints.

Do I need a Bearer token to upload files to a protocols.io workspace?

Yes, Bearer token authentication is required for all API v3 operations, including uploading, downloading, and organizing files within role-based permission workspaces.

What is the best way to manage scientific protocol experiments and notifications?

Experiment records and notification workflows are managed through dedicated API endpoints, enabling you to track protocol runs and handle automated alerts for updates.
