> Professional Python project for continuous intelligence.
Continuous intelligence systems monitor data streams, detect change, and respond in real time.
This course builds those capabilities through working projects.
In the age of generative AI, durable skills are grounded in real work:
setting up a professional environment,
reading and running code,
understanding the logic,
and pushing work to a shared repository.
Each project follows the structure of professional Python projects.
We learn by doing.
## This Project
This project introduces **signal design**.
The goal is to copy this repository,
set up your environment,
run the example analysis,
and explore how useful signals can be derived from raw system metrics.
You will run the example pipeline, read the code,
and make small modifications to understand how
signals are created from raw measurements.
## Data
The example pipeline reads system metrics from: `data/system_metrics_case.csv`.
Each row represents a system observation with raw measurements
such as requests, errors, and total latency.
The pipeline derives signals such as **error rate** and
**average latency** from these raw values.
## Working Files
You'll work with just these areas:
- **data/** - it starts with the data
- **docs/** - tell the story
- **src/cintel/** - where the magic happens
- **pyproject.toml** - update authorship & links
- **zensical.toml** - update authorship & links
## Instructions
Follow the [step-by-step workflow guide](https://denisecase.github.io/pro-analytics-02/workflow-b-apply-example-project/) to complete:
1. Phase 1. **Start & Run**
2. Phase 2. **Change Authorship**
3. Phase 3. **Read & Understand**
4. Phase 4. **Modify**
5. Phase 5. **Apply**
## Challenges
Challenges are expected.
Sometimes instructions may not quite match your operating system.
When issues occur, share screenshots, error messages, and details about what you tried.
Working through issues is part of implementing professional projects.
## Success
After completing Phase 1. **Start & Run**, you'll have your own GitHub project,
running on your machine, and running the example will print out:
```shell
========================
Pipeline executed successfully!
========================
```
And a new file named `project.log` will appear in the project folder.
## Command Reference
The commands below are used in the workflow guide above.
They are provided here for convenience.
Follow the guide for the **full instructions**.

### In a machine terminal (open in your `Repos` folder)
After you get a copy of this repo in your own GitHub account,
open a machine terminal in your `Repos` folder:
```shell
# Replace username with YOUR GitHub username.
git clone https://github.com/username/cintel-03-signal-design
cd cintel-03-signal-design
code .
```
### In a VS Code terminal
```shell
uv self update
uv python pin 3.14
uv sync --extra dev --extra docs --upgrade
uvx pre-commit install
git add -A
uvx pre-commit run --all-files
uv run python -m cintel.signal_design_case
uv run ruff format .
uv run ruff check . --fix
uv run zensical build
git add -A
git commit -m "update"
git push -u origin main
```
## Notes
- Use the **UP ARROW** and **DOWN ARROW** in the terminal to scroll through past commands.
- Use `CTRL+f` to find (and replace) text within a file.
