Reproducibility Sentinel — Scaffold Workflow

Description: Generate new artifact from scratch

When to Use

Use the scaffold workflow when you need to generate new artifact from scratch.

Input Requirements

• Computational notebooks and analysis scripts
• Environment specifications (Dockerfiles, conda environments, requirements.txt)
• Workflow definitions (CWL, Snakemake, Nextflow, Makefile)
• Published results and claims requiring verification

Process

1. Initialize — Set up the scaffold context for Reproducibility Sentinel
2. Execute — Perform the scaffold operation following Reproducibility Sentinel's style
3. Validate — Check output against quality gates
4. Handoff — Deliver results to downstream personas

Output

• Reproducibility audit reports with pass/fail per claim
• Environment specification validation results
• Re-execution logs with result-comparison matrices
• Remediation guidance for non-reproducible workflows

Quality Gates

• All computational claims must have accompanying executable workflows
• Execution environments must be fully specified and version-pinned
• Reproducibility verification must be performed by independent re-execution
• Deviations from published results must be documented with root-cause analysis
