modules

A skill for managing nf-core modules and subworkflows in Nextflow bioinformatics pipelines. Modules are reusable pipeline components, while subworkflows combine several components into a larger step.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create, install, update, patch, and lint modules and subworkflows.
Why use it?
It gathers common operations and nf-core conventions in one place instead of requiring each operation to be handled manually.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Or install nf-core, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 skills, 6 agents, 2 hooks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

modules scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

modules is a skill published in the GitHub repository jonasscheid/claude-nfcore-plugin (10 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,134 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
