ref-workflow

Automating reference data collection involves using a coordinated workflow that extracts content from web searches, URLs, PDFs, videos, and images, then consolidates it into structured Markdown references for PRD and specification work.

Consolidating multi-source reference materials is best handled by a unified workflow that fetches data from web pages, PDFs, and video transcripts, enforcing structured metadata and source provenance to produce centralized Markdown documents.

Yes, you can extract text from images using OCR and pull video transcripts to populate your references. These extracted texts are automatically converted into Markdown format for easy consumption within your documentation repository.

Yes, the reference workflow enforces structured metadata and source provenance during the consolidation process. This ensures that all collected data from web searches, PDF conversions, and video downloads is accurately tracked and organized.

To initiate reference collection for a feature, you invoke the workflow command with the feature name and optional type flags. This triggers the automated cross-source data gathering and Markdown conversion process for your specifications.

Limitations of automated cross-source reference collection include potential dependencies on the accessibility of the target web pages, PDFs, or videos, and the accuracy of OCR and transcript extraction when processing complex or low-quality source materials.
