Kater CLI Explore and try ideas explore definition
kater explore definition
Reads and saves a shared model's Explore file: its questions, and the plans that answer them.
The file sits beside the model, in explore/<type>/<name>.explore.yaml. For ad_reporting, it is modeling/kater_objects/semantic_models/marts/explore/semantic/ad_reporting.explore.yaml.
Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
kater explore definition show | Show a model’s Explore questions and saved plans. |
kater explore definition generate | Save a model’s Explore questions and plans. |
Where the questions come from
Before the file is saved, a model’s questions are the ones its authors wrote. These are the model’s own business questions, and those of its fields. A question that two fields ask comes once. With --llm, an AI model plans questions and adds new ones.
