CLI tool for initializing structured, reproducible analysis notebooks and projects
Requires Python: >=3.10

# Specform

**Specform** is a lightweight CLI for initializing structured, reproducible analysis projects with a standardized notebook template and project layout.

It helps teams start with the same analytical scaffold every time — reducing setup friction and improving reproducibility.

---

## Install

```bash
pip install specform
```

---

## Quickstart

Initialize a new Specform project in the current directory:

```bash
specform init .
```

This will:

- create a standardized analysis notebook  
- enforce a consistent starting structure  
- provide a reproducible scaffold for downstream work  

You can also initialize into a new directory:

```bash
specform init my_project
```

## What Specform Does

Specform focuses on **structured project initialization** rather than heavy workflow orchestration.

### Current features

- Reproducible notebook template generation  
- Consistent project bootstrapping  
- CLI-first workflow (`specform init`)  

### Design goals

- minimal surface area  
- fast startup  
- no runtime dependencies beyond the template  

---

## Example Workflow

```bash
mkdir study
cd study
specform init .
```

Open the generated notebook and begin analysis with a pre-defined structure.

---

## Command Reference

### `specform init [path]`

Initialize a Specform project.

**Arguments**

- `path` (optional): target directory  
  - default: current directory

---

## Versioning

Specform follows semantic versioning:

- `0.x` — rapid iteration  
- `1.0` — stable template contract  

---

## Development

Clone the repository and install in editable mode:

```bash
pip install -e .
```

Run the CLI locally:

```bash
