Lab Sample Parent-Child Lineage
Trace the links between items in your aliquot records and parent register.
A downloadable skill for your AI agent.
Your result
Broken parent references.
Source references, missing information, and questions to review stay with the findings.
How to use it
Add the skill to your AI
Open your download and follow the start guide. Use an AI agent that can load skill files and run the included tools.
Provide your records
Aliquot records and parent register. Confirm the case and period you want to check.
Ask for the report
Copy the request below into your agent. Add the files and any task details it needs.
Review and save
Check the findings against the original records. Choose where to save the report and follow up on open questions.
Example request
Use the Lab Sample Parent-Child Lineage skill. Review the attached records: aliquot records and parent register. Prepare this result: broken parent references. Include a source reference for each finding. List missing information and questions that need my review. Ask me to confirm the scope and where to save the report before you start.
What it checks
It follows the links you supply between items. Missing links and circular chains stay visible, so you can see what needs another check.
What you provide
Aliquot records and parent register.
Details it records
- Parent sample
- Aliquot ID
- Explicit root or missing parent
Read the full task logic
For this task, keep one review row for each sample + parent node. Record parent sample, aliquot ID, and explicit root or missing parent. Keep the source location beside each value.
Maintain sample identity, lineage, transfers, reagent lots, and data dictionary versions. Preserve blinded identifiers without inferring hidden identities.
Do not infer consent scope or recover missing measurements. Treat frozen dataset changes as evidence requiring researcher review.
Graph consistency does not establish full traceability, custody, quantity conservation, or dependency completion. Check those facts separately in the source-linked report.
Example result
This synthetic example shows the included check in use. Your agent uses its findings to complete your task report.
What you provide
Synthetic example records
| Sample record | node: node-A; parents: node-B |
|---|---|
| Sample record | node: node-B; parents: node-A |
What comes back
A difference needs review
- The links return to an earlier item and form a circular chain.
This result comes from the checking tool in your download.
Read the source records
These are synthetic records from the bundled example.
- source-r1 · records/r1
{"id": "r1", "key": "sample + parent node / SYNTHETIC-001", "node": "node-A", "parents": ["node-B"]} - source-r2 · records/r2
{"id": "r2", "key": "sample + parent node / SYNTHETIC-001", "node": "node-B", "parents": ["node-A"]}
Checked values
- node: node-A; parents: node-B; record id: r1
- node: node-B; parents: node-A; record id: r2
Run this example
After purchase, extract the ZIP. Run these commands from the skill folder. Use a new output folder.
python3 scripts/checks.py
python3 scripts/audit.py assets/example.json \
--files-root assets/sample-files --output-dir example-resultExpected exit code: 1. Code 0 means no helper finding. Code 1 means a finding or review item. Code 2 means incomplete or invalid input.
The check uses the records you supply. Review each finding against the original documents.
What is saved
Ask your agent to save the completed task report in a folder you choose. The report template includes the result, source references, missing information, and next actions.
- A readable check report
- The local checking tool can save its findings as report.md.
- A data copy
- The same check can be saved as report.json for use in other tools. A local audit database is optional.

Collect the records
Start with aliquot records and parent register. Confirm the case, period, and source versions before the review.
Extract the task fields
Use study, sample, aliquot, run, location, protocol version to keep records distinct. The agent records the original value, an exact quote, and the source location.
Trace the parent links
Follow the supplied parent links and report missing parents or cycles. Run the Python helper on the structured records. Check each finding against its source.
Complete the report
Prepare the task result: broken parent references. Include missing evidence, unresolved questions, and the next action for each open item.
