Experiments Folder

This folder contains records of individual experiments or lab sessions as YAML files.

How to Add a New Experiment

  • Use the experiment_template.yaml in Templates/ as a starting point.
  • Name your file with a unique ID or date, e.g., 2025-05-10_cell_staining_Alice.yaml.
  • Fill in all required fields: experiment_id, project, title, date, researcher, protocol, materials, parameters, results, status.
  • Submit via the lab agent or manually, then commit to the repository.

YAML Schema Reference

See Templates/experiment_template.yaml for the required structure.

Example Experiment

See 2025-05-10_cell_staining_Alice.yaml in this folder for a complete example of an experiment file. Use it as a reference when creating new experiments.

Example Usage

To add a new experiment, you can:

  1. Use the lab agent and describe your experiment in natural language (e.g., "Log a cell staining experiment for Alice on May 10, 2025").
  2. The agent will generate a YAML file similar to 2025-05-10_cell_staining_Alice.yaml.
  3. Review and edit as needed, then commit the file.
