New contributors had no context for what Nextstrain is, what this pipeline produces, or what they needed installed before following the quickstart.

Changes

  • New "What is this?" section — defines Nextstrain, explains what a "build" is, and summarizes the pipeline in 4 steps (ingest → type/QC → phylogenetics → export)
  • New "Prerequisites" table — lists conda, git, OS (Linux/macOS, WSL2 note for Windows), RAM (≥ 16 GB), and disk space (≥ 10 GB) before the quickstart; clarifies all other tools are conda-managed
  • Heading hierarchy fix — steps 5 and 6 were # (H1) while steps 1–4 were ## (H2); normalized to ## throughout
  • Typo fix — "Peskoz Lab" → "Pekosz Lab" in the Roadmap heading

✨ Let Copilot coding agent set things up for you — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo.
