Description
Topic Overview
Architecture walkthrough from Nextflow Summit 2026. How one bioinformatician used AI agents (Trinity orchestrator + sub-agents) to eliminate pipeline development bottlenecks in a lab where one person handles every role.
Key Points to Cover
- Three-tier architecture: agents, skills, commands
- Trinity's 6-phase flow with parallelism and sequential gates
- docker-resolve skill (3-check container lookup)
- Memory system (.memory/ files encoding lab conventions)
- Hard rules learned from failures (never pre-supply container, spawn once, context is the product)
- Permissions / blast radius bounding
Potential Sources
- Nextflow Summit 2026 presentation
- Anthropic Claude Agent SDK docs
