nf-core-pipeline-list

nf-core-pipeline-list is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry. It costs 40 tokens per session (462 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for checking the local nf-core installation and listing available nf-core pipelines. nf-core is a community collection of reusable workflows for scientific data analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve, sort, and limit pipeline metadata from the local and remote nf-core catalogs.
Why use it?
It quickly confirms that the local tools work and gives you a clean view of pipelines you could use next.

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

nf-core-pipeline-list 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/list_nfcore_pipelines.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 it actually says

Purpose

Check that nf-core tools run correctly in the repo-local environment and return a deterministic pipeline summary.

When to use

  • You need a quick nf-core installation check.
  • You want a compact machine-readable view of available nf-core pipelines.

When not to use

  • You need interactive parameter entry with nf-core launch.
  • You need to download or execute a full nf-core pipeline.

Inputs

  • Optional --sort and --limit

Outputs

  • Cleaned JSON summary with local and remote nf-core pipeline metadata

Requirements

  • The repo-local toolchain at slurm/envs/nextflow-tools
  • Network access for the remote pipeline catalog

Procedure

  1. Run python3 skills/reproducible-workflows/nf-core-pipeline-list/scripts/list_nfcore_pipelines.py --limit 5.
  2. Inspect counts.remote_workflows and the returned remote_workflows entries.
  3. Use the names and release metadata as a starting point for later nf-core workflows.

Validation

  • The wrapper runs nf-core pipelines list successfully through the repo-local environment.
  • The malformed multiline JSON emitted by the CLI is cleaned and parsed.
  • At least one remote pipeline is returned.

Failure modes and fixes

  • JSON parse issues: use the provided wrapper instead of calling nf-core --json directly.
  • Empty remote list: check outbound network access and retry.

Safety and limits

  • This skill verifies catalog access only.
  • It does not prove that any specific nf-core pipeline can be executed locally.

Examples

  • python3 .../list_nfcore_pipelines.py --sort pulled --limit 3

Provenance

  • nextflow-hello-workflow
  • snakemake-toy-workflow-starter
Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

nf-core-pipeline-list is a skill published in the GitHub repository ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry (39 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 462 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
