OpenBench OS is a protocol runtime for research and lab workflows. Labs already have approved documents like SOPs, SDS sheets, equipment manuals, and local policies, but execution at the bench is still mostly manual: operators read dense PDFs, remember safety requirements, track timing, capture deviations, and write handovers after the fact. OpenBench OS turns those documents into guided, executable workflows. It uses Opus to help compile source documents into a structured protocol graph with ordered steps, PPE, hazards, controls, timers, visual checkpoints, stop conditions, and source citations. A reviewer checks and publishes the protocol as an immutable version before it can be used. During a live run, the Bench Runtime Client guides the operator one step at a time, supports notes and timers, checks required confirmations, verifies visible conditions from bench photos, blocks unsafe or incomplete steps, logs deviations, and generates a handover report from the actual event history. The goal is to make lab procedures clearer, safer, more traceable, and easier to hand over — without replacing existing lab documents or systems.
