+#### Output optimized configuration
+> [!WARNING]
+> Currently this feature only supports Nextflow workflows.
+
+The `--write-config` option will write a new configuration file with the `recommendedCpus` and `recommendedMemoryGiB` as the resource requirements. This will take the maximum values if the task is run multiple times with different inputs. 
+
+```bash
+python -m omics.cli.run_analyzer 123456 --write-config=optimized.config
