SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The RecordsManager skill automates the complex, error-prone tasks of organizing, tagging, retention checks, and safe deletion for paperless-ngx backed document repositories, reducing manual overhead and compliance risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hierarchical taxonomies: Function → Service → Activity → DocumentType for precise classification and fast findability.
  • Trust and entity management: dynamic creation and structuring of households, businesses, and trusts with storage paths and metadata.
  • Workflow automation & retention enforcement: automatic tagging, storage-path assignment, retention checks, and archive/deletion decision support across AU, US, and UK.
  • Safe deletion with mandatory approval: routing delete requests through the DeleteConfirmation workflow to prevent catastrophic data loss.
  • Audit-ready governance: strict taxonomy enforcement via TaxonomyExpert and validation via TaxonomyValidator to support audits.

Quick Start

  • Upload a document and observe automatic tagging, path assignment, and retention checks.
  • Create a new entity (household, corporate, or trust) and generate required tags and storage paths.
  • Check retention and perform safe deletions only after explicit confirmation.

How do I safely delete documents in paperless-ngx without risking data loss?

Safely delete documents in paperless-ngx by routing all destructive actions through a mandatory approval workflow. This DeleteConfirmation process validates requests via the Paperless API to prevent catastrophic data loss before any file is removed.

Does paperless-ngx support automated retention rules for different countries?

Paperless-ngx supports automated retention rules for different countries through configurable compliance workflows. The system handles archive and deletion decision support specifically tailored for AU, US, and UK retention requirements.

Why do my document tags fail validation during automated paperless-ngx workflows?

Document tags fail validation during automated workflows when they do not match the strict hierarchical taxonomy. A dedicated TaxonomyValidator checks agent suggestions against the TaxonomyExpert rules to prevent non-compliant document classification.
