   summary: "Process raw haplotagging data, from raw sequences to phased haplotypes."
+  description: |
+    Harpy is a command-line tool to easily process haplotag or 10x linked-read data. It uses
+    Snakemake under the hood to execute different workflows (quality control, trimming, 
+    alignment, variant calling, phasing, etc.), but the user is rarely, if ever, exposed
+    to Snakemake directly. With an emphasis on user-friendliness, parallelization, transparency,
+    and reproducibility, Harpy aims to quickly handle data processing so that you can focus more
+    on analyzing your data.
