When to use it

Build, register, debug, and operate bioinformatics workflows on Latch using the Python SDK, CLI, Latch Data and Registry, Nextflow, Snakemake, programmatic execution, and Latch MCP. Use when authoring or deploying Latch workflows, configuring resources or interfaces, moving data, integrating Registry, or launching and monitoring runs.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “How do I give my Latch task more memory and a GPU?”
  • “I have a Snakemake pipeline for ATAC-seq on mouse samples (Snakefile plus config.yaml, Dockerfile already written). I want to get it onto Latch so my collaborators can launch it from a form. latch register --snakefile Snakefile --staging ran but it fails to find a workflow entrypoint. What’s going wrong and what should I do?”
  • “We have a few hundred FASTQ files sitting in a cloud workspace and a sample table with metadata. I want to script a batch of alignment runs over them from Python, track each one until it finishes, and pull the results back into the sample table. Can you lay out the approach?”

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.
