Interview-Driven Workflow Construction and Repair in Galaxy
Turning a researcher’s free-form analysis request into a validated, runnable Galaxy workflow — by reusing, adapting, or building one.
Goal
Convert a researcher’s free-form analysis request into a validated, runnable Galaxy workflow — either by reusing, adapting, or building one.
Three-Day MVP
Build an MCP-native interview agent that first searches the IWC registry to decide use / adapt / build, grounds analysis choices in BRC Analytics data and tools, and resolves missing information through follow-up questions. Use Galaxy Foundry to translate intent into validated workflow steps.
Demonstrate both creation of a new workflow and conversational adaptation of an existing published workflow.
Evaluation
Workflow validation and Planemo test success; correctness of tool/version/parameter selection; regression testing for adapted workflows; and expert scoring of analysis choice, provenance, and clarification quality.
Team
Team assignments are being finalized ahead of the codeathon. Participants can review project teams, and request reassignment, in the shared participant spreadsheet circulated by the organizing team.
