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 astra.yaml

See examples/iris/ for a complete working example.
