## Overview

PrimerLab generates comprehensive reports after primer design workflows. Reports include:

* Design summary and scoring
* Validation results
* Off-target analysis
* Recommendations

## Formats

| Format     | Description                      |
| ---------- | -------------------------------- |
| `markdown` | Human-readable, Git-friendly     |
| `html`     | Interactive with dark/light mode |
| `json`     | Machine-readable for pipelines   |

## CLI Usage

```bash theme={null}
# Generate report after design
primerlab run pcr --config my_config.yaml --report

# Specify format
primerlab run pcr --config my_config.yaml \
  --report --report-format html --report-output report.html
```

## Report Contents

### Design Summary

* Primer sequences and properties
* Tm, GC%, length
* Overall design score (0-100)

### Validation

* In-silico PCR results
* Binding site analysis
* 3' stability assessment

### Off-target

* BLAST hit count
* Specificity grade (A-F)
* Risk assessment

## Programmatic Usage

```python theme={null}
from primerlab.core.report import ReportGenerator, ReportExporter

# Create report
generator = ReportGenerator()
generator.set_design_data(primers, scores)
generator.set_validation_data(insilico_results)

# Export
exporter = ReportExporter(generator.report)
exporter.export("report.html", format="html")
```
