SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps reduce Claude API token usage by delegating token-heavy preprocessing tasks to a local LLM via the gowork CLI, enabling cost-effective file processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Offload large-scale preprocessing like file summarization, data cleaning, text extraction, and format conversion to a local model.
  • Use role presets such as summarize to automatically select an appropriate backend model and flags, or fall back to manual --no-tools mode.
  • Reuse the MLX backend for offline or sandboxed environments, keeping sensitive data on-device.

Quick Start

Install GoWork, start the MLX backend, and run gowork with the summarize role to preprocess large files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce API token costs when preprocessing large documents for text extraction?

Offload token-heavy preprocessing like text extraction to a local LLM via gowork to dramatically reduce API costs. It delegates large document processing tasks to a local model, preventing tokens from being wasted on Claude.

What's the best way to summarize large files locally without consuming Claude API tokens?

Summarize large files locally by running gowork with the summarize role preset. This automatically selects an appropriate local backend model and flags to handle the file summarization offline.

Do I need a specific local LLM backend to use gowork for data cleaning tasks?

Yes, data cleaning requires the local MLX backend (mlx_lm.server) accessible at http://localhost:8080/v1. You must also use the Qwen3.5-4B-OptiQ-4bit model to execute the local processing.

Can I process sensitive data for format conversion offline using gowork?

Yes, you can process sensitive data offline by reusing the MLX backend for format conversion. This keeps sensitive data on-device within sandboxed environments without sending it to external APIs.

How does the gowork role preset system work for bulk file processing?

Role presets like summarize bundle the appropriate local model and flags for bulk file processing. If a preset is unavailable, you can fall back to manual --no-tools mode to execute tasks directly.
