Robbie: a general work-flow for the detection and characterization of radio variability and transient events in the image domain. Robbie is designed to work in a batch processing paradigm with a modular design so that components can be swapped out or upgraded to adapt to different input data, whilst retaining a consistent and coherent methodological approach. Robbie is based on commonly used and open software, and is encapsulated in a Makefile to aid portability and reproducibility. In the description paper we describe the methodology behind Robbie, and demonstrate its use on real and simulated data. This repository contains the observed and simulated data that was used in the description paper.
