ASTRA tools - Agentic Schema for Transparent Research Analysis

Python CLI and SDK for working with ASTRA analysis specifications.

For an overview of ASTRA, the specification, concepts, and design rationale, see the main repository: astra-spec.

This repository provides the tooling layer: validation, CLI, paper management, and evidence verification.

Install

Install the astra CLI globally from PyPI with uv:

uv tool install astra-tools

astra is then available on your PATH. For development (editable install with test/lint deps), clone the repo and run uv sync --extra dev, then invoke commands via uv run (e.g. uv run pytest).

Quick Start

astra init my-analysis
cd my-analysis
astra validate            # validates every spec and universe file in the project

See examples/iris/ for a complete working example.

CLI

Run astra --help for the full command list. Key commands:

astra init – scaffold a new analysis project
astra validate – validate the whole project, or one spec/universe file (add --verify-evidence to check quotes)
astra info / astra viz – inspect the analysis and decision space
astra universe generate|check – manage universes
astra spec – render the schema as agent-friendly reference text
astra guide – print the agent briefing (llms.txt) shipped with astra-spec
astra schema export|show – work with JSON schemas
astra paper ... – download, cache, and verify quotes against papers

astra validate and astra info accept --json to emit their report as a single JSON-encoded string (exit codes unchanged), convenient for embedding in agent tool output.
