Run Experiments

Run a computational experiment. Given a research question that can be answered via software, this skill will write and run the necessary software and generate a report on the results.

This skill can also be used to analyze experimental data and generate a research report from it, even if the experiment itself was not run by Asta. In that case, the user can provide the experimental data as a file input, and Asta will analyze it and generate a report.

Installation

This skill requires the asta CLI:

# Install/reinstall at the correct version
PLUGIN_VERSION=0.17.0
if [ "$(asta --version 2>/dev/null | grep -oE '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+')" != "$PLUGIN_VERSION" ]; then
  uv tool install --force git+https://github.com/allenai/asta-plugins.git@v$PLUGIN_VERSION
fi

Prerequisites: Python 3.11+ and uv package manager
