latchbio-integration
Build, register, debug, and operate bioinformatics workflows on Latch using the Python SDK, CLI, Latch Data and Registry, Nextflow, Snakemake, programmatic execution, and Latch MCP. Use when authoring or deploying Latch workflows, configuring resources or interfaces, moving data, integrating Registry, or launching and monitoring runs.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# LatchBio Integration ## Current Baseline This skill targets **Latch SDK 2.76.8**, released July 10, 2026. The package metadata supports Python 3.9–3.12 and declares Python 3.9+. Treat the installed package and its changelog as authoritative when a guide disagrees with the SDK. Some Latch guides retain older Python ranges or compatibility-specific pre-release pins, especially the Snakemake v2 tutorial. Never combine commands or imports from different tracks without checking their version requirements. ## When to Use Use this skill to: - Create or maintain Python SDK workflows and task graphs - Package and register Python, Nextflow, or Snakemake pipelines - Configure task CPU, memory, storage, GPU, caching, retries, and timeouts - Work with Latch Data through `LPath`, `LatchFile`, `LatchDir`, or the CLI - Read or update Latch Registry projects, tables, and records - Design workflow forms, launch plans, samplesheets, messages, and result links - Stage and debug workflow images with `latch register --staging` and `latch develop` - Launch and monitor workflows through Python or Latch MCP - Discover and use ready-to-run Latch workflows ## Route to the Right Reference Read only the refe

What does the latchbio-integration skill do?
Build, register, debug, and operate bioinformatics workflows on Latch using the Python SDK, CLI, Latch Data and Registry, Nextflow, Snakemake, programmatic execution, and Latch MCP. Use when authoring or deploying Latch workflows, configuring resources or interfaces, moving data, integrating Registry, or launching and monitoring runs.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill latchbio-integration --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, a repository with 32,619 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
