Hi, has anyone used ChatGPT to write PyLabRobot scripting based on already written scripts? Is there a collection of example library PLR scripts?

welcome to the forum!
i use chat/github copilot all the time to help me edit scripts. chat needs some examples/context because there are limited plr examples in its training set (hopefully that will change over time).
we don’t have a centralized collection of plr scripts, but the user guide has a growing number of examples. An llm-friendly version of the user guide is available at https://docs.pylabrobot.org/llm.md

very cool. thank you!
Do you have any example scripts for library preparation for NGS?
not yet
pylabrobot is/has been used for these workflows (sample & library prep), but nobody has published them yet

Here’s another question. Has anyone created a VSCode extension for PyLabRobot yet? I’ve searched the marketplace and don’t see it if it does exist.
i am not aware of such an extension. i use vscode almost exclusively tho (incl for plr)
what would a plr extension add?
Autocomplete recommendations? Syntax checking for additional commands added in the PyLabRobot package?
those 2 should be doable using the default python extension (plr is just another python library, and most python libraries don’t need a special vscode extension)
