Inputs

columntyperequiredallowed valuesconstraints
samplestringyesmatches ^\S+$
fastq_1string (file path)yesmatches ^\S+\.f(ast)?q\.gz$
fastq_2string (file path)nomatches ^\S+\.f(ast)?q\.gz$

--input must match ^\S+\.csv$.

The samplesheet is a CSV with this header (the columns the schema requires); fill each value per the table above and reference.md (no example value is invented here):

csv
sample,fastq_1

Any of the optional columns above may be appended to the header when your data needs them: fastq_2.

From data files. --input may also be the data files — a directory (searched recursively), a quoted glob, or files (--input once per file) — from which nfclaw writes this samplesheet: sample from file names; fastq_1/fastq_2 from FastQ files (mates paired by _R1/_R2, or by _1/_2 when their read names show they are mates). Set other columns with --sheet-set COLUMN=VALUE. Preview it with --check; a run records it in <outdir>/provenance/ for replay.

Resources

Resource requests follow the pipeline's configs and selected profiles. nf-core's resource labels often assume a server — a single step can request far more memory than a workstation has, and retry rules can increase requests. If a run fails with Process requirement exceeds available memory (or CPUs), cap every request, and every retry, at what this machine actually has:

bash
nfclaw run coproid --input samplesheet.csv --outdir results --genome-sheet <genome_sheet> --kraken2-db <kraken2_db> --sp-sources <sp_sources> --sp-labels <sp_labels> -profile docker \
--limit-cpus 4 --limit-memory 15.GB

nfclaw turns those into Nextflow's process.resourceLimits and passes them as a -c config — the mechanism nf-core prescribes for exactly this (docs). Set them to the machine's real capacity. --limit-time DURATION also caps how long any one task may run: a task that needs longer is stopped, and so is every retry, so set it only as a deliberate ceiling, never as a guess at how long the analysis takes. The generated config is kept in <outdir>/provenance/, so commands.sh replays the run under the same ceiling.

Nextflow engine

This release declares nextflowVersion = '!>=25.04.0'.

To pin this release's declared minimum engine — useful when a newer Nextflow has incompatible config parsing:

bash
nfclaw run coproid ... --nxf-ver 25.04.0

--nxf-ver is recorded in <outdir>/provenance/, so the replay uses the same engine. See known-issues.

Demo

bash
nfclaw run coproid --demo --outdir results # adds the upstream test profile (-profile test,docker)

Parameter explorer

39 parameters · 4 groups

Every parameter from the pinned nextflow_schema.json. nfclaw checks explicit values before launch; complex rules use the pinned pipeline's runtime validation. Search, filter by group, and expand any parameter for its default, allowed values and constraints.

20 parameters · 19 hidden

Generic options6

Display the full detailed help message.

Custom MultiQC yaml file containing HTML including a methods description.

Display hidden parameters in the help message (only works when --help or --help_full are provided).

Input Output options5

Email address for completion summary.

Path to comma-separated file containing information about the reference genomes.

Path to comma-separated file containing information about the samples in the experiment.

Outputs

Results land in --outdir; the files and directory layout depend on the selected workflow, parameters and publication settings. Run metadata is normally placed in <outdir>/pipeline_info/ (execution report, software versions), when those outputs are enabled. The pinned tree includes MultiQC support; a report is produced only when its workflow step runs. nfclaw run also writes <outdir>/provenance/ with the exact params file and the run log, <outdir>/provenance/logs/run.log — the whole launch, whose last line states the outcome (Nextflow's own log is <outdir>/.nextflow.log); unless --no-provenance it adds a run manifest (pinned version, commit and exact command), input/output SHA-256 checksums, and a replayable commands.sh. The exact output files and directory layout for this release are documented upstream: github.com/nf-core/coproid/blob/2.0.1/docs/output.md Check a run — in the foreground or the background — with nfclaw status <outdir>: success, still running, how it ended (with the error), or stopped without an outcome; exit 0 success, 3 running, 1 otherwise.
