Run Siril Job

Instructions

Run a Siril job file to process astrophotography data.

Arguments

The skill accepts a job file path as an argument:

• /run-job M31 - runs jobs/M31.json
• /run-job jobs/IC1396.json - runs the specified path

Run Command

uv run python run_job.py {job_file}

Common Options

# Standard run (uses cached stacks if available)
uv run python run_job.py jobs/{target}.json

# Force reprocessing (ignores cache)
uv run python run_job.py jobs/{target}.json --force

# Validate only (check calibration files exist)
uv run python run_job.py jobs/{target}.json --validate

# Dry run (show what would happen)
uv run python run_job.py jobs/{target}.json --dry-run

# Run specific stage
uv run python run_job.py jobs/{target}.json --stage preprocess
uv run python run_job.py jobs/{target}.json --stage stack
uv run python run_job.py jobs/{target}.json --stage compose

Execution

1. Parse the argument to determine the job file path
2. If argument is just a target name (e.g., M31), use jobs/{target}.json
3. Run the job in the background to allow monitoring
4. Report the output paths when complete

Output Monitoring

The job will output progress including:

• Frame counts and dates
• Calibration status
• Registration statistics
• FWHM filtering decisions
• Stack creation
• Composition steps
• Final output paths

After Completion

Report to the user:

• Job success/failure
• Output file paths (JPG, TIF, FIT)
• Any warnings or issues from the log
