SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Uploaded files come in many formats and are often read by the wrong tool, leading to incorrect extractions or failed reads. The file-reading router ensures each file is dispatched to the correct reader (pdf-reading, pandoc, json reader, etc.) so content is interpreted accurately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Format-aware routing: Detects file extensions and selects the proper reader library or tool.
  • Safety-first: Avoids unsafe actions by not opening unknown formats without a fallback.
  • Use Case: When a user uploads a mix of PDFs, DOCX, CSVs, and images, the system routes each to the right tool for extraction.

Quick Start

Route the next uploaded document to the appropriate reader based on its extension.

Does this file router support extracting data from common formats like csv, xlsx, and images?

Yes, this file router supports extracting data from common formats like csv, xlsx, and images by detecting the extension and selecting the proper reader library or tool for each specific format.

Can I validate that the chosen reader tool is available before routing a file?

Yes, you can validate that the chosen reader tool is available before routing a file. The system validates the selected tool and provides clear error messages if routing cannot be completed due to missing tools.

Why are my uploaded files being read by the wrong tool and causing failed extractions?

Uploaded files are read by the wrong tool when they are not routed based on their specific format. Using a format-aware router ensures each file is dispatched to the correct reader for accurate interpretation.
