When to use

  • You want the workflow to inspect a Data Lab notebook, script, or documentation file.

  • You want to extract configuration or logic from files stored in a Data Lab project.

Context behavior (Data Lab Projects)

Optionally attach a Seeq context node that points to the target Data Lab Project, or have a preceding node to search and verify a project is found.

  • The node can browse directories and read supported files.

  • If you run from Data Lab, the current project may be discoverable automatically, but attaching context is recommended for clarity.

See: Seeq context node and Seeq contexts.

Supported file types

Common supported types include:

  • .py, .ipynb, .txt, .md

  • .json, .yaml, .yml, .csv

  • .pdf

Configuration

  • Instruction: Specify which file(s) to read and what to extract.

Example instructions

  • “Open the notebook that generates KPI summaries and explain how it computes the rolling average.”

  • “Read README.md and summarize how to run this project locally.”
