Lightcone Lab
Lightcone Lab is the open, AI-assisted research workbench for JupyterLab. It turns an ASTRA project into a place to work: explore your analysis, trace every result back to the run that made it, and research alongside an AI agent that knows your project, with lightcone-cli handling execution and provenance underneath.
Quick Start
pip install jupyterlab-lightcone
jupyter lab
The Lightcone engine, Jupyter AI and all frontend assets come with the package.
Creating projects needs uv
and git on the server's PATH.
- Choose New Lightcone project in the launcher, or browse into any folder
holding an
astra.yaml. - The launcher becomes the project's Home: pick an agent, describe what you want to do, and press Start.
- Open results, comment on them, and let the agent iterate. Lightcone keeps track of what changed.
Features
- Project Home: title, description, latest results and recent sessions, in every launcher tab inside a project
- ASTRA inventory: outputs, decisions, inputs, findings and cited papers, with figure and table previews and live freshness status
- Provenance: the code, inputs and locked environment behind each result; browse committed versions and compare them side by side
- Pipeline: trace what feeds a result and what depends on it
- Project-aware agents: Jupyter AI sessions start at the project root, show results as rich cards, and list what each reply changed
- Comments: pin notes on figures, text, papers and messages; they reach the agent with your next message
- Search: Ctrl/⌘+K across sessions,
records, files and commands;
@and#reference them in the composer - Papers and reports: read cited papers in place, fetch missing ones, and preview the project's MyST report
- Lightcone themes: optional Lightcone Light and Lightcone Dark themes, and a distraction-free Focus Layout
Requirements
Python ≥ 3.11 · JupyterLab ≥ 4.5.10, < 5 · a Linux or macOS server · Node.js ≥ 20 on the server to preview MyST reports
