Use this reference when you already know you want the terminal interface and need the exact command surface. For IDs and registry lookups, continue with Catalogs and registries.
ModSSC exposes a root CLI plus brick-specific entry points for datasets, sampling, preprocess, graphs, augmentation, evaluation, and method registries. The commands are implemented as Typer apps and grouped so you can inspect one subsystem without importing Python manually. [1][2][3]
- Use
modsscwhen you want one entry point with shared logging,doctor, and access to every brick. - Use the direct entry points when you want shorter commands in shell scripts or when a workflow only touches one subsystem.
- Use the Python API instead when you need in-process objects, custom control flow, or notebook-friendly inspection.
Start with the root help and the environment diagnostic:
modssc --help
modssc doctor --jsonThen move to the brick you need:
modssc datasets list
modssc preprocess steps list
modssc inductive methods list --available-only| Command | Use it for | First next page |
|---|---|---|
modssc doctor |
inspect installed bricks and missing extras | Optional extras and platform support |
modssc datasets ... |
list, inspect, download, and cache datasets | Manage datasets |
modssc sampling ... |
create and validate split artifacts | Create and reuse sampling splits |
modssc preprocess ... |
inspect steps/models and run preprocess plans | Run preprocessing plans |
modssc graph ... |
build graphs and graph-derived views | Build graphs and views |
modssc augmentation ... |
inspect augmentation ops | Use data augmentation |
modssc evaluation ... |
list metrics and score predictions | Compute evaluation metrics |
modssc inductive ... |
inspect inductive methods | Inductive tutorial |
modssc transductive ... |
inspect transductive methods | Transductive tutorial |
modssc supervised ... |
inspect supervised baselines | Catalogs and registries |
The CLI entry points are declared in pyproject.toml and implemented in src/modssc/cli/. [1][2]
Primary entry point:
modssc --help
modssc --versionDirect entry points:
modssc-datasets --help
modssc-sampling --help
modssc-preprocess --help
modssc-graph --help
modssc-inductive --help
modssc-transductive --help
modssc-augmentation --help
modssc-evaluation --helpUse modssc when you want one command namespace with shared logging and doctor. Use the direct entry points when you prefer smaller wrappers around the same Typer apps. [1][2][3]

modssc supervised info logreg- Running
python -m bench.main ...after a PyPI-only install and expectingbench/assets to exist locally. Use a source checkout for repository assets. - Expecting
modssc datasets download --dataset <id>to ignore missing extras automatically. The ignore flag exists, but you should still treat a missing extra as a dependency problem to resolve intentionally. - Looking for dataset IDs, step IDs, or method IDs in this page alone. Use Catalogs and registries for the full lists.
- Treating
modssc doctoras a full environment validator. It reports available bricks and missing extras, but it does not validate your benchmark config semantics.
