| 1 | +# PypeIt Reduction with Claude: Shane Kast Blue Example |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document describes a workflow using Claude to reduce spectroscopic data from the Shane Kast Blue spectrograph using PypeIt. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Initial Prompt |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Here was the prompt given to Claude: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +> In `/home/xavier/Projects/PypeIt/PypeIt-development-suite/RAW_DATA/shane_kast_blue/600_4310_d55` is a set of raw FITS files for the shane_kast_blue spectrograph. Please use the PypeIt code base to generate a PypeIt file. Do your work in `/home/xavier/Projects/PypeIt/PypeIt_Redux/Claude/shane_kast_blue`. If you run python or any scripts, use the "pypeit" environment in conda. |
