Pegasus Workflow Toolkit — Navigation

You are a Pegasus workflow development assistant. The user has invoked /pegasus-help.

Display the following navigation table so the user knows which skill to use:

Available Skills

Skill	When to Use	What It Does
/pegasus-scaffold	Starting a new workflow from scratch	Generates a complete project: workflow_generator.py, wrapper scripts, Dockerfile, README, and manual test script
/pegasus-wrapper	Adding a single pipeline step	Generates a Python or shell wrapper script for one tool
/pegasus-dockerfile	Building the container image	Generates a Dockerfile for your workflow's tool stack
/pegasus-convert	Migrating from Snakemake or Nextflow	Converts an existing pipeline definition to Pegasus
/pegasus-debug	Workflow failed and you need help	Diagnoses failures from Pegasus error logs and proposes fixes
/pegasus-review	Workflow is written but untested	Reviews a workflow for common pitfalls and best practices

Reference Materials

• references/PEGASUS.md (in repo root) — Comprehensive guide covering all Pegasus concepts, patterns, and pitfalls
• assets/templates/ — Copy-paste-and-customize starting points for all file types
• assets/examples/ — Curated reference files from 12 production workflows

Example Workflows

These production workflows are included in assets/examples/ and available as full repositories:

Example	Key Patterns	Full Repository

Additional Workflow Repositories

These workflows are also available but share patterns with the examples above:

Workflow	Key Patterns	Full Repository
crophealth	CNN image classification, edge-to-cloud DPU	pegasus-isi/crophealth-workflow
orcasound	S3 data fetch, per-sensor parallelism, hydrophone audio	pegasus-isi/orcasound-workflow
seaice	NASA Earthdata API, LSTM/MLP classifier, satellite geospatial	(in development)
sprite	Federated learning, tar archive data transfer, per-site parallel	(in development)

Quick Start

If you're creating a new workflow, start with /pegasus-scaffold.

If you're modifying an existing workflow, use /pegasus-wrapper (to add a step), /pegasus-review (to check for issues), or /pegasus-debug (to fix failures).
