gxwf

Foundry’s primary design-time CLI for Galaxy workflow validation and conversion. Bundled with @galaxy-tool-util/cli alongside galaxy-tool-cache; subcommand pages cover individual operations.

Install

npx --yes --package @galaxy-tool-util/cli@1.15.0 gxwf <subcommand> runs without a global install. For repeat use, npm install -g @galaxy-tool-util/cli@1.15.0.

The 1.15.0 minimum preserves numeric workflow input min and max during conversion to and from native Galaxy range validators. It also includes the draft commands used by the per-step authoring loop. The install pin matches galaxy-tool-cache and the repository dependency floor. Pinning the npx --package spec avoids using an older installed CLI.

availability_check is a capability probe: gxwf --help | grep -q draft-validate asserts the draft-tier capability the pin exists for. gxwf --version reports the real package version since 1.15.0; older CLIs report a hardcoded 1.0.0.
