SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Router skill for directing Nextflow conversions to the appropriate Galaxy sub-skills, streamlining the migration from Nextflow to Galaxy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routing: Directs you to the correct sub-skill based on the conversion target (single process → nf-process-to-galaxy-tool, subworkflow → nf-subworkflow-to-galaxy-workflow, or complete pipeline → nf-pipeline-to-galaxy-workflow).
  • Guidance: Provides structure, prerequisites, and decision points to minimize misconfigurations during migration.
  • Use Case: When upgrading a project from Nextflow to Galaxy, you can hand off precise conversion tasks to the appropriate specialized skill.

Quick Start

Start by identifying what you are converting (process, subworkflow, or pipeline) and then invoke the nf-to-galaxy skill to route to the corresponding sub-skill. See the linked SKILL.md in each sub-skill for detailed guidance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert Nextflow workflows to Galaxy?

Nextflow to Galaxy conversion routes tasks to specialized sub-skills based on scope, directing single processes, subworkflows, or complete pipelines to the appropriate handler for structured migration.

What is the difference between migrating a Nextflow process and a full pipeline to Galaxy?

Migrating a Nextflow process targets a single tool conversion, while a full pipeline migration handles the entire workflow. This router skill directs single processes, subworkflows, and complete pipelines to distinct sub-skills for proper execution.

How do I start a Nextflow to Galaxy migration for a subworkflow?

Start a subworkflow migration by identifying your conversion target and invoking the router skill, which directs subworkflow conversions to the nf-subworkflow-to-galaxy-workflow sub-skill to guide execution steps and prerequisites.

Do I need to prepare prerequisites before converting Nextflow to Galaxy?

Yes, you need to prepare prerequisites before converting Nextflow to Galaxy. The routing skill provides structure, prerequisites, and decision points to minimize misconfigurations and ensure proper planning during the workflow migration.

When should I route a Nextflow process to a single Galaxy tool conversion?

Route a Nextflow process to a single Galaxy tool conversion when your migration target is an isolated process rather than a subworkflow or complete pipeline, directing the task to the nf-process-to-galaxy-tool sub-skill.
