A Claude Code Skill for generating professional lab reports โ€” university coursework, scientific research, engineering tests, and medical/material experiments.

License: MIT Claude Code Skill

Features

  • Three input modes: From topic โ†’ full report ยท From raw data โ†’ analysis + report ยท From draft โ†’ improvement & formatting
  • Four report types: University lab ยท Scientific research ยท Engineering test ยท Medical/material
  • Auto-research: WebSearch for theoretical background and real citable references
  • Data processing: Statistics, uncertainty propagation, least-squares fitting
  • Charts: Line / scatter / bar with error bars (matplotlib)
  • Low plagiarism: Original writing, structure variation, no copy-paste
  • Multiple output formats: docx ยท markdown ยท both
  • Grading-aligned: Reads rubric files and aligns content to maximize score

Installation

git clone https://github.com/dxkjuanjuan/lab-report-writer.git ~/.claude/skills/lab-report-writer

Then restart Claude Code.

Usage

Just describe what you need in natural language:

or

Generate a lab report from this CSV data: ./data.csv โ€” fit a linear regression, output as docx

The skill will ask clarifying questions, then execute:

research โ†’ write โ†’ data analysis โ†’ generate doc โ†’ self-check โ†’ deliver

Low-Plagiarism Strategy

  1. Original phrasing โ€” never copy source sentences
  2. Structure variation โ€” don't follow any single source's paragraph order
  3. Specific details โ€” concrete numbers and technical terms reduce similarity
  4. Personal analysis โ€” independent reasoning in the discussion section
  5. Chinese-English mixing โ€” technical terms naturally lower similarity scores

Reference Format

Follows GB/T 7714 by default. Supports [J] journals, [M] books, [C] conferences, [R] reports, [Z] standards, [EB/OL] online.

Customization

  • New template: Create resources/templates/<name>.md, reference in SKILL.md
  • Output format: Edit scripts/generate-lab-report.js โ€” fonts, sizes, margins
  • Data analysis: Edit scripts/lab_data_analysis.py โ€” new stats or chart types
