When to use it

Build and operate reproducible genomics workloads on DNAnexus with the dx CLI, dxpy, apps/applets, native workflows, dxCompiler, and Nextflow. Use for DNAnexus data transfers, dxapp.json development, execution monitoring, workflow import, and project automation.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “How do I download a whole folder from my DNAnexus project to my laptop?”
  • “I’m getting DXExecDependencyError when my applet starts on Ubuntu 24.04. My dxapp.json has execDepends with pip packages: pysam, pandas, and an old numpy pin. Built with dx build -f. Can you help me fix it and tidy up the config?”
  • “I have a WGS pipeline written in WDL for 40 samples and I want it to run on our cloud genomics platform where my data already lives under a project called cohort-2026. I need it to be launched in bulk, with the cost capped and a way to see which runs failed. Where do I start?”

Install

In Claude Code you can also add the marketplace with /plugin marketplace add KalarisLabs/research-agent-skills and install the whole lab-automation category with /plugin install lab-automation@research-agent-skills.
