What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Turn a lab assignment, template, and your data into a finished Word lab report using an AI agent.

USE CASE 2

Generate plausible sample data automatically when you do not have real experimental results.

USE CASE 3

Have the agent run scripts to capture real screenshots for the report instead of placeholders.

USE CASE 4

Insert formulas as native Word equations or rendered images without exposing raw formula code.

So what is it?

This repository is a skill for AI coding agents that automates writing university laboratory reports. The README is written in Chinese and describes a workflow aimed at students who need to produce a formatted lab report document from a set of course materials. The way it works is straightforward. You create a folder with a defined structure and fill in whatever materials you have: the official lab assignment from your instructor, any provided template file, source code or data files related to the experiment, an example report from a previous student for reference, relevant lecture slides, your personal details for the cover page, and notes on output format or writing style. You then tell an agent to use this skill and point it at the folder. The agent reads everything and produces a complete report. If you have real experimental data, the agent uses it. If you do not, it generates plausible numbers to fill in the required tables and sections. When the report calls for screenshots, the agent first tries to actually run any scripts or web pages in the materials folder to capture real output. Only if that is not possible does it leave a placeholder. The skill handles formulas as well. It can represent them internally in a mathematical notation format and then convert them either to native Word equation objects or to rendered image files before inserting them into the output document, so the final file does not contain raw formula source code visible to the reader. The output is a Word document (.docx). The README includes a disclaimer that the generated content is a draft and that the student is responsible for reviewing it and ensuring it meets course requirements and academic standards before submission.
