SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps users set up a new collection type in the directory-pipeline by guiding a one-time calibration that creates reusable prompts (ner_prompt.md and ocr_prompt.md) for subsequent volumes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-time calibration to tailor OCR and extraction prompts for a collection type.
  • Reuse prompts for all subsequent volumes in the same series to streamline processing.
  • End-to-end guidance from download to prompt generation, with clear steps for first-time setup and later volumes.

Quick Start

From the project root, guide the user through the three setup steps to calibrate a new collection and generate reusable prompts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calibrate prompts for a new document collection in a directory-pipeline?▼

Calibrating a new collection in the directory-pipeline involves a one-time setup to generate reusable OCR and NER prompts. You download the first volume, select pages, and generate ner_prompt.md and ocr_prompt.md files stored under output/{slug} for future reuse.

What is the best way to set up reusable OCR and NER prompts for multiple document volumes?▼

Setting up reusable OCR and NER prompts requires a one-time calibration on the first volume of your collection. This generates tailored ner_prompt.md and ocr_prompt.md files that you reuse for subsequent volumes with minimal changes.

Can I reuse the same extraction prompts for subsequent volumes after the initial collection setup?▼

Yes, you can reuse the generated extraction prompts for subsequent volumes after the initial collection setup. The calibration generates ner_prompt.md and ocr_prompt.md files requiring only minimal changes when processing later volumes in the same series.

Does the directory-pipeline calibration process guide me through downloading and selecting pages?▼

Yes, the directory-pipeline calibration process provides end-to-end guidance through downloading the first volume and selecting pages. This ensures you correctly configure the initial extraction parameters before generating the reusable prompts.

When do I need to recalibrate NER and OCR prompts for a directory-pipeline collection?▼

You need to recalibrate NER and OCR prompts only once per new collection type. After the initial calibration generates your ner_prompt.md and ocr_prompt.md files, you process all subsequent volumes in that series by reusing the existing prompts with minimal adjustments.
