nextflow
Build, run, and debug Nextflow data pipelines and nf-core workflows end to end. Use whenever the user mentions Nextflow, nf-core, .nf files, nextflow.config, DSL2, processes/channels/operators, samplesheets, or wants to run a community pipeline (e.g. nf-core/rnaseq, nf-core/sarek), write or test a module/subworkflow with nf-test, configure executors/containers (Docker, Singularity/Apptainer, Conda, Wave), scale a workflow to HPC/SLURM or cloud (AWS Batch, Google Batch, Azure, Kubernetes), or debug a failed/-resume run. Make sure to use this skill for any reproducible scientific/bioinformatics workflow work even if the user does not say the word "Nextflow", and for authoring nf-core-compliant pipelines, modules, configs, and linting.

Frequently asked questions about nextflow
What does the nextflow skill do?
Build, run, and debug Nextflow data pipelines and nf-core workflows end to end. Use whenever the user mentions Nextflow, nf-core, .nf files, nextflow.config, DSL2, processes/channels/operators, samplesheets, or wants to run a community pipeline (e.g. nf-core/rnaseq, nf-core/sarek), write or test a module/subworkflow with nf-test, configure executors/containers (Docker, Singularity/Apptainer, Conda, Wave), scale a workflow to HPC/SLURM or cloud (AWS Batch, Google Batch, Azure, Kubernetes), or debug a failed/-resume run. Make sure to use this skill for any reproducible scientific/bioinformatics workflow work even if the user does not say the word "Nextflow", and for authoring nf-core-compliant pipelines, modules, configs, and linting. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the nextflow skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install scientific-skills-nextflow` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/scientific-skills-nextflow/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does nextflow work with?
nextflow runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the nextflow skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use nextflow after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/scientific-skills-nextflow` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the nextflow skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
