Captures and analyzes the provenance of Python scripts with noWorkflow (the `now` command) — runs a script as a recorded trial, lists, shows and compares trials, traces where a value or an output file came from, exports provenance to Prolog, PROV-N, Graphviz or notebooks, restores earlier versions of the script and its files, and opens the visualization. Use when the user wants to record how a script produced its results, compare two runs of an experiment, find which inputs, files or functions…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# noWorkflow

noWorkflow records the provenance of a Python script without any change to
the script. `now run script.py` executes it and stores a **trial**: the
script and the local modules it imported (with their content), the
arguments, the environment, every function activation with its arguments
and return values, every variable evaluation and its dependencies, and
every file the script opened, with the content before and after. Trials
are kept in a `.noworkflow/` directory, and the other commands read,
compare, export and restore them.

Use it to answer questions like "what changed between yesterday's run and
today's?", "which input files produced this output?", "which values does
this result derive from?" and "give me back the script and data of run 3".

The help of the installed version is the reference: `now -h` and
`now <command> -h`. What follows was checked by running each command; where
a command misbehaves today, the issue number in the noWorkflow repository
says so — check it before telling the user something cannot be done.

## Install and check the installation

```bash
pip install noworkflow             # the collector, the CLI and the vis server

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gems-uff/noworkflow/noworkflow@sha256:820a29d94369f2cc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.aa52dc2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
