 - The `conda` flag is enabled (True), indicating that the workflow should utilise Conda environments for executing tasks, provided the conda command is accessible in the system environment.
 - Additional Snakemake arguments are specified under `additional_snakemake_args`, including --reason which will display the reasons for rule execution.
 - The `skip_missing` option is enabled (True), which means that only config defined in the `snk.yaml` file, will be included in the dynamically generate CLI.
+- The `min_snk_cli_version` is set to "0.6.1", indicating that the workflow requires at least version 0.6.1 of the Snk CLI to run.
 - An annotation is provided for the `input` parameter, which is of type `str` and comes with a help message "Path to the input file".
