First Fact

Create a fact with a friendly label:

ic add comet-board

Open it:

ic edit comet-board

Give it a description and a pipeline:

description = "Track the currently advertised comet names."

[[steps]]
use = "seed.file.text"
options.files = ["comets.txt"]

[[steps]]
use = "text.lines"

[[steps]]
use = "text.trim"

[[steps]]
use = "compact"

Resolve it:

ic resolve comet-board --output -

Show the fact later:

ic show comet-board
ic show comet-board --path

That is enough to establish the rhythm: author, resolve, inspect.
