nextflow-development

Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on sequencing data. Use when analyzing RNA-seq, WGS/WES, or ATAC-seq data—either local FASTQs or public datasets from GEO/SRA. Triggers on nf-core, Nextflow, FASTQ analysis, variant calling, gene expression, differential expression, GEO reanalysis, GSE/GSM/SRR accessions, or samplesheet creation.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# nf-core Pipeline Deployment Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines on local or public sequencing data. **Target users:** Bench scientists and researchers without specialized bioinformatics training who need to run large-scale omics analyses—differential expression, variant calling, or chromatin accessibility analysis. ## Workflow Checklist ``` - [ ] Step 0: Acquire data (if from GEO/SRA) - [ ] Step 1: Environment check (MUST pass) - [ ] Step 2: Select pipeline (confirm with user) - [ ] Step 3: Run test profile (MUST pass) - [ ] Step 4: Create samplesheet - [ ] Step 5: Configure & run (confirm genome with user) - [ ] Step 6: Verify outputs ``` --- ## Step 0: Acquire Data (GEO/SRA Only) **Skip this step if user has local FASTQ files.** For public datasets, fetch from GEO/SRA first. See [references/geo-sra-acquisition.md](references/geo-sra-acquisition.md) for the full workflow. **Quick start:** ```bash # 1. Get study info python scripts/sra_geo_fetch.py info GSE110004 # 2. Download (interactive mode) python scripts/sra_geo_fetch.py download GSE110004 -o ./fastq -i # 3. Generate samplesheet python scripts/sra_geo_fetch.py samplesheet GSE110004 --fastq-dir ./fastq -o samplesheet.csv ``

About this skill
What does the nextflow-development skill do?

Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on sequencing data. Use when analyzing RNA-seq, WGS/WES, or ATAC-seq data—either local FASTQs or public datasets from GEO/SRA. Triggers on nf-core, Nextflow, FASTQ analysis, variant calling, gene expression, differential expression, GEO reanalysis, GSE/GSM/SRR accessions, or samplesheet creation.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills --skill nextflow-development --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 FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, a repository with 2,909 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.
