steve ls -f path/to/custom.yaml
Example
Given a jobs.yaml file:
jobs:
- name: extract-data
cron: "0 2 * * *"
command: ["uv", "run", "src/extract.py"]
env:
SOURCE_URL: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users"
OUTPUT_PATH: "/data/raw/extracted_data.parquet"
- name: transform-data
dependsOn: ["extract-data"]
command: ["uv", "run", "src/transform.py"]
env:
INPUT_PATH: "/data/raw/extracted_data.parquet"
OUTPUT_PATH: "/data/processed"
Running steve extract-data will:
- Set
SOURCE_URL=https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users - Set
OUTPUT_PATH=/data/raw/extracted_data.parquet - Execute:
uv run src/extract.py

steve <job-name>to run any job - ✅ Environment: Automatically sets environment variables from
jobs.yaml - ✅ Discovery: Auto-finds
jobs.yamlin current directory - ✅ Listing: See all available jobs with
steve ls - ✅ Flexible: Supports custom jobs file paths

File Metadata Extraction
Steve automatically extracts metadata from files read or written via MetadataRegistry. The extractor is chosen by file extension — no configuration needed.
| Extension | Extractor | Requires |
|---|---|---|
.parquet, .pq |
ParquetExtractor |
pip install steve-cli[polars] |
.csv, .tsv, .txt |
CsvExtractor |
stdlib only |
.json, .jsonl, .ndjson |
JsonExtractor |
stdlib only |
.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm |
ExcelExtractor |
pip install steve-cli[excel] |
| anything else | GenericExtractor |
stdlib only |
Adding a custom extractor
Implement MetadataExtractorPort, declare which extensions it handles, and register it once at startup:
from steve_cli.storage.metadata.port import MetadataExtractorPort, FileMetadata, ColumnMetadata
from steve_cli.storage.metadata.registry import MetadataRegistry
class AvroExtractor(MetadataExtractorPort):
extensions = (".avro",)
def extract(self, data: bytes, path: str) -> FileMetadata:
import fastavro, io
reader = fastavro.reader(io.BytesIO(data))
schema = reader.writer_schema
columns = [
ColumnMetadata(name=f["name"], type=str(f["type"]))
for f in schema.get("fields", [])
]
records = list(reader)
return FileMetadata(
format="avro",
size_bytes=len(data),
rows=len(records),
columns=columns,
)
MetadataRegistry.register("avro", AvroExtractor)
After registration, MetadataRegistry.extract(data, "output.avro") picks AvroExtractor automatically. You can also force a specific extractor for any file via the env var:
METADATA_EXTRACTOR=avro steve jobs run my-job
Why Steve?
Named after Steve Jobs - because it helps you run jobs locally! 😄
