SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CERN ROOT file analysis often involves verbose MCP JSON exchanges. root-cli provides a compact, token-efficient command surface to inspect ROOT files, read branches, compute histograms, perform simple kinematic calculations, and export data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lightweight, modular commands for file discovery, file inspection, branch reading, histogram creation, and data export.
  • Works with TTrees and RNTuples (including jagged arrays) and outputs machine-friendly JSON for downstream processing.
  • Use Case: A data scientist quickly inventories ROOT files, inspects a file, reads a subset of branches, builds a histogram, and exports results with a few commands.

Quick Start

Configure your data path and run a minimal root-cli workflow to explore and analyze ROOT files.

Frequently Asked Questions about root-cli

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I inspect TTrees and RNTuples in CERN ROOT files using a CLI?▼

You can inspect TTrees and RNTuples in CERN ROOT files by running compact CLI commands to read branches, handle jagged arrays, and return file structure details as machine-readable JSON for immediate downstream processing.

What is the best way to export ROOT file branches as JSON for data analysis?▼

Exporting ROOT file branches as JSON is best achieved by using a token-efficient CLI that reads TTree and RNTuple data directly, computing selections and outputting machine-friendly JSON to streamline your data analysis workflow.

Can I compute histograms and perform kinematic calculations on ROOT files without verbose protocol overhead?▼

Yes, you can compute histograms and perform simple kinematic calculations on ROOT files using a lightweight, CLI-first workflow that enforces compact command surfaces and minimizes verbose MCP JSON protocol exchanges.

Does root-cli work with jagged arrays in RNTuples?▼

Yes, root-cli works with jagged arrays in RNTuples by providing modular command functions that read complex branch structures and output the extracted data directly into machine-friendly JSON formats.

How do I streamline CERN ROOT data analysis using command line tools?▼

You streamline CERN ROOT data analysis using command line tools by executing a minimal workflow: inventory files, inspect contents, read specific branches, build histograms, and export the results using a few compact commands.

When should I avoid using standard MCP JSON exchanges for ROOT file inspection?▼

You should avoid standard MCP JSON exchanges for ROOT file inspection when token efficiency is critical, opting instead for a compact CLI approach that produces JSON outputs by default while minimizing verbose protocol usage.
