lightcone-cli

License Python PyPI Tests

lightcone-cli (lc) is the agentic execution layer for ASTRA (Agentic Schema for Transparent Research Analysis). Describe your analysis to an AI agent and lc takes care of the rest — specification, execution, and provenance.

Quick Start

uv tool install lightcone-cli
lc init my-analysis
cd my-analysis
claude

Then tell the agent what you have to start from — a research question (/lc-new), existing code (/lc-from-code), or a paper to reproduce (/lc-from-paper).

Full getting-started guide

Skills

Skill What it does
/lc-new Scope a new analysis from a research question into a full astra.yaml spec
/lc-from-code Bring an existing codebase into ASTRA
/lc-from-paper Reproduce a published paper end-to-end
/lc-feedback File a bug report with version and error context auto-collected

Capabilities

  • Multiverse analysis — define methodological decisions with multiple options; lc runs your analysis across all defensible paths automatically
  • Provenance integrity — every output gets a content-addressed manifest; lc verify detects tampering or broken chains
  • HPC-ready execution — Snakemake-backed DAG dispatch with SLURM and container support (Docker, Podman, Apptainer) out of the box
  • Reproducible publishinglc export wrroc emits a Workflow Run RO-Crate bundle ready for Zenodo or WorkflowHub
