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.
