Benchling Integration

davila7/claude-code-templates

If you're working with Benchling's life sciences R&D platform, this gives you patterns for the Python SDK and REST API. It covers the core workflows: managing biological sequences and registry entities, automating inventory operations with containers and boxes, creating electronic lab notebook entries, and building workflow automations. The authentication section is solid with both API key and OAuth examples. The async operation handling with wait_for_task helpers is genuinely useful since Benchling uses task-based patterns for bulk operations. One thing to note is the registry registration gotcha about never using entity_registry_id and naming_strategy together, which will save you debugging time.
