Ask the rmorie agent about the bundled datasets

Source: R/ask.R
ask.Rd

Convenience wrapper that forwards a dataset-focused question to the rmorie command-line agent (optional binary from rmorie-cli). See rmorie::agent for the full interface and requirements.

Usage

ask(question, model = NULL, backend = "auto")

Arguments

question

Character scalar.

model

Optional model id (see rmorie::agent).

backend

Optional backend override (see rmorie::agent).

Value

Character scalar: the agent's output, or a message if the rmorie binary is not installed.

Examples

# \donttest{
# Routed to the optional rmorie CLI agent when it is installed; with no
# binary on PATH each call returns an install hint instantly (no error,
# no network), so this is safe to execute anywhere.
# Plain question -> routed to the rmorie CLI agent (auto backend).
ask("which bundled datasets cover Toronto police use-of-force?")
#> [1] "rmorie CLI not found on PATH. Install rmorie-cli to use ask()."

# Pin a specific model.
ask("summarise the SIU director's-report corpus", model = "gpt-4o-mini")
#> [1] "rmorie CLI not found on PATH. Install rmorie-cli to use ask()."

# Force a backend (see rmorie::agent for the available values).
ask("list the Chicago datasets", backend = "ollama")
#> [1] "rmorie CLI not found on PATH. Install rmorie-cli to use ask()."
# }

# With no rmorie binary on PATH the call returns an install hint, not an
# error -- safe to run anywhere:
if (!nzchar(Sys.which("rmorie"))) ask("hello")
#> [1] "rmorie CLI not found on PATH. Install rmorie-cli to use ask()."
