Skill: zhaorui921/textin-xparse-parser-safe (version 0.1.1)

--- name: xparse-parse description: Parse documents into clean markdown or structured JSON via the xparse-cli. Use this skill when the user provides a PDF, image, Office file, HTML, OFD, or other supported document and wants it read, converted, summarized, or prepared for downstream agent use. Handles encrypted PDFs, page ranges, markdown/text output, and detailed structured extraction. Prefer this skill whenever the task starts from a local file or document URL and the first step is to turn it into agent-friendly content rather than manually inspect the raw file. compatibility: Requires the `xparse-cli` binary. Free API supports PDF and images with zero config; paid API unlocks additional formats (Doc(x)/Ppt(x)/Xls(x)/HTML/OFD/RTF, etc.) and requires paid credentials configured via `xparse-cli auth` (recommended), or `XPARSE_APP_ID`/`XPARSE_SECRET_CODE` env vars. --- # xparse-parse ## Overview Use the parse CLI first. Read the result before requesting any more detail. ## Routing Rules - For local document tasks, try `xparse-parse` before Python, PDF libraries, OCR tools, or custom scripts. - Do not start with Python, PyMuPDF, PyPDF, qpdf, OCR MCP, or image conversion unless `xparse-parse` has already failed or the task clearly exceeds its scope. - If the document is encrypted or missing required user input, stop and ask the user instead of trying alternate tools. - If the default parse result is sufficient, stop. Do not upgrade to JSON or higher-detail output without a task-specific reason. - Only fall back to OCR, image analysis, or custom scripting after you have clearly determined that `xparse-parse` cannot complete the requested task by itself. ## Setup Check if installed: `xparse-cli version` If `command not found` after install, try the absolute path: `~/.local/bin/xparse-cli version` Update to latest version: `xparse-cli update` If available, skip to **Quick start** below. If not found, install it only after explicit user approval because the vendor currently provides a remote installer script: | Platform | Command | |----------|---------| | Linux / macOS | `source <(curl -fsSL https://dllf.intsig.net/download/2026/Solution/xparse-cli/install.sh)` | | Windows (PowerShell) | `irm https://dllf.intsig.net/download/2026/Solution/xparse-cli/install.ps1 \| iex` | Before running either installer, tell the user it downloads and executes vendor-hosted code and offer to inspect the script first. ## Quick start Zero config — free API, no registration needed. Supports **PDF and images** only. ```bash xparse-cli parse report.pdf # Markdown → stdout ``` > For Office, HTML, OFD, and other formats, [configure paid API credentials](references/textin-key-setup.md) first. ## Quick Reference | Goal | Command | |------|---------| | Markdown to stdout | `xparse-cli parse <FILE>` | | JSON to stdout | `xparse-cli parse <FILE> --view json` | | Save markdown | `xparse-cli parse <FILE> --view markdown --output <DIR\|FILE>` | | Save JSON | `xparse-cli parse <FILE> --view json --output <DIR\|FILE>` | | Page range | `xparse-cli parse <FILE> --page-range 1-5` | | Encrypted doc | `xparse-cli parse <FILE> --password <PWD>` | | Character details (bbox, confidence, candidate per char) | `xparse-cli parse <FILE> --view json --output <DIR\|FILE> --include-char-details` | > `--output <DIR>` auto-generates `<basename>.md` or `<basename>.json`; `--output <FILE>` writes directly. Run parse requests serially by default. Do not start another until the previous result has been inspected. Only run in parallel when the user explicitly asks for batching or parallel processing and paid API credentials are configured. For more commands, paid API setup, and output options, see [cli-guidance.md](references/cli-guidance.md). ## Default Path 1. Confirm the document should be parsed with `xparse-parse` 2. Run `xparse-cli parse <FILE>` 3. Read the markdown result 4. If the task needs more structure, then and only then upgrade to JSON 5. If required input is missing, stop and ask the user 6. If `xparse-parse` clearly cannot solve the task, explain why before switching tools ## When to Stop Stop and ask the user if: - The free limit is hit (do not retry) - The file is too large or unsupported - The document requires information the user has not provided If the error looks temporary, retry once at most. Never silently skip a failed parse.

## Output Views

Choose how to see results:

```bash
# Markdown to stdout (default)
xparse-cli parse document.pdf

# JSON (explicit)
xparse-cli parse document.pdf --view json

# Save to directory (auto-names as <basename>.json/.md)
xparse-cli parse document.pdf --output ./result/

# Save to specific file (default view is markdown)
xparse-cli parse document.pdf --output result.md
```

## Common Scenarios

| Scenario | Command |
|----------|---------|
| Read document content | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf` |
| Inspect parse result as JSON | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --view json` |
| Specific pages only | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --page-range 1-5` |
| Encrypted document | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --password secret123` |
| Save to directory | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --output ./result/` |
| Save to specific file | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --output ./parsed.md` |

## Advanced Options

| Scenario | Command |
|----------|---------|
| Single page only | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --page-range 3` |
| Multiple page ranges | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --page-range 1-2,5-10` |
| Character details & coordinates | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --view json --include-char-details --output ./parsed.json` |
| Force paid API | `xparse-cli parse doc.pdf --api paid` |

## API Capabilities — What You Get by Default

CLI automatically enables these capabilities (you don't need to specify them):

| Capability | What It Does |
|-----------|--------------|
| Hierarchy | Document structure (headings, nesting) |
| Inline objects | Embedded content (links, mentions) |
| Image data | Image extraction and analysis |
| Table structure | Table parsing with cell information |
| Pages | Page-level metadata |
| Title tree | Document outline/TOC |

**Exception:** Character details (`--include-char-details`) must be explicitly enabled—it increases response size significantly.

## Understanding Output

**JSON view** — Complete structured result with all parsed elements, title tree, and metadata.
For field details, see [api-reference.md](api-reference.md).

**Markdown view** — Clean, readable text format. Good for content summarization and review.

## Exit Codes

| Code | Meaning | Next Step |
|------|---------|-----------|
| 0 | Success | Parse succeeded, check stdout |
| 1 | API or network error | Check stderr for details; may retry |
| 2 | Parameter error | Check command syntax; fix and retry |
| 3 | API returned structured error | See stderr for error code + fix |

## Troubleshooting

For all error codes, recovery actions, and retry policy, see [error-handling.md](error-handling.md).


path: references/error-handling.md
content: # Error Handling — Agent Decision Guide

## Decision Matrix

Use this matrix to decide whether to STOP, RETRY, or CONFIGURE:

| Error Category | Error Codes | Decision | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Transient/Network** | 30203, 500, 50207 | RETRY (once) | Retry same command with backoff |
| **Free Limit Hit** | 40307 | STOP + CONFIGURE | Show free-limit message, point to setup guide |
| **Rate Limit** | 40306 | RETRY (with delay) | Reduce request frequency, retry later |
| **File Size Exceeded** | 40302 | STOP + CONFIGURE or ADJUST | If ≤10MB: likely free limit → configure. If >10MB: suggest `--page-range` or paid API |
| **Invalid Credentials** | 40101, 40102, 40103 | STOP + DEBUG | User's credentials are wrong. Check TextIn console |
| **Insufficient Balance** | 40003 | STOP + INFORM | Paid account has no credits. User must top up |
| **Unsupported File** | 40301, 40303, 40305, 40425, 40426 | STOP | File type/format not supported or corrupted. No retry |
| **Invalid Parameters** | 40004, 40400, 40424, 40427 | STOP | Command was malformed. Show correct syntax |
| **Encryption/Password** | 40422, 40423 | STOP + CLARIFY | Password required or incorrect |
| **Processing Failure** | 40428, 40429 | STOP | Office conversion failed or PDF empty. Check file integrity |
| **Unknown** | All others | STOP | Unexpected error. Show raw response for user debugging |

## Stop and Ask for Help

**When:**
- Free limit is hit (40307)
- File is too large for free tier (40302) and no page range applied
- File type is not supported (40301, 40303, 40425, 40426)
- Required user input is missing (password for encrypted doc, --page-range for large file)
- Credentials are invalid (40101, 40102, 40103)
- User's paid account has no credits (40003)
- Unknown error or internal service error

**What to say:**
- Free limit: `The free parse limit has been reached. Configure your TextIn API credentials with your APP_ID and SECRET_CODE, then rerun the same parse command. See [TextIn setup guide] for details.`
- File too large: `File exceeds 10MB free tier limit. Use --page-range to parse specific pages, or configure paid API credentials for unlimited file sizes.`
- Unsupported file: `This file type is not supported. Supported formats: PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx), OFD, Image files.`
- Password required: `Document is password-protected. Rerun with --password <your_password>.`
- Invalid credentials: `API credentials are invalid. Check your APP_ID and SECRET_CODE in the TextIn console at https://www.textin.com/console/dashboard/setting.`

## Retry Policy

**Retry exactly once when:**
- Base service fault (30203)
- Internal server error (500)
- Partial parse failure (50207)

**Retry logic:**
```
xparse-cli parse <FILE> [options]
# If fails with 50xxx (transient):
xparse-cli parse <FILE> [options]  # Retry once, same command
# If fails again or different error: STOP and show user
```

**DO NOT retry when:**
- Free limit is hit (40307) — user must configure API
- File is unsupported (40301, 40303, 40425, 40426) — no retry will fix
- Credentials are invalid (40101, 40102, 40103) — user must fix credentials first
- Parameters are invalid (40004, 40400, 40424, 40427) — command syntax is wrong
- User input is missing (encrypted file without password)

**DO NOT silently skip failed parses** — always surface errors to user.

## Error Recovery Scenarios

### Scenario 1: Free Limit Hit
```
User: xparse-cli parse large-document.pdf
Error: 40307 (Free daily quota exhausted)

Agent action:
1. DO NOT retry
2. Show message:
   "The free parse limit has been reached. Configure your TextIn API 
    credentials, then rerun the same parse command. 
    See [TextIn setup guide] for details."
3. Point user to the local skill reference: references/textin-key-setup.md
4. Wait for user to configure credentials before retrying
```

### Scenario 2: File Too Large (Transient Network)
```
User: xparse-cli parse huge-file.pdf
Error: 30203 (Base service fault)

Agent action:
1. Retry once: xparse-cli parse huge-file.pdf
2. If succeeds: done
3. If fails again: STOP
   Show: "Service is temporarily unavailable. Try again in a few moments, 
          or use --page-range to parse smaller sections."
```

### Scenario 3: Large File (Size Limit)
```
User: xparse-cli parse 15mb-file.pdf
Error: 40302 (File exceeds max size)

Agent action:
IF user has NOT configured API credentials:
  "File exceeds 10MB free tier limit. 
   Option 1: Use --page-range 1-5 to parse first few pages
   Option 2: Configure paid API for unlimited file sizes (setup guide)"
   
IF user HAS configured credentials:
  "File size error. Credentials may be invalid or account has no balance.
   Try: xparse-cli parse 15mb-file.pdf --page-range 1-5
   Or check credentials at TextIn console."
```

### Scenario 4: Password-Protected Document
```
User: xparse-cli parse encrypted-document.pdf
Error: 40422 (Password required)

Agent action:
1. Ask user for password
2. Rerun: xparse-cli parse encrypted-document.pdf --password <password>
3. If wrong password (40423): ask for correct password, retry once
4. If still fails: STOP, show error
```

### Scenario 5: Invalid Credentials
```
User: XPARSE_APP_ID=wrong XPARSE_SECRET_CODE=wrong xparse-cli parse doc.pdf
Error: 40102 (Invalid SECRET_CODE)

Agent action:
1. DO NOT retry
2. Show: "API credentials are invalid. 
          Check your APP_ID and SECRET_CODE in TextIn console:
          https://www.textin.com/console/dashboard/setting"
3. Suggest user re-run: xparse-cli auth
```

## Integration with TextIn Setup

When free limit is hit or credentials needed:

1. **Point to setup guide:** `references/textin-key-setup.md`
2. **User gets credentials** from https://www.textin.com/console/dashboard/setting
3. **User configures credentials** via `xparse-cli auth` or environment variables
4. **Rerun same parse command** — no need to change anything else
5. **All limits removed** — file size, daily quota

If user is uncertain about setup:
```
Run: xparse-cli auth

This will help you:
1. Store APP_ID and SECRET_CODE securely for the CLI
2. Verify the credential source
3. Reuse the same credentials for later parse commands
```

Configure paid API credentials to remove file size limits and increase daily quota.

## When to Configure

- Free daily limit exceeded (40001 error)
- File size exceeds 10MB limit (40302 error)
- Want unlimited quota for production use

## Setup Steps

### Option 1: Interactive Setup (recommended)

```bash
xparse-cli auth                    # Interactive credential setup
```

Follow the prompts to enter your `APP_ID` and `SECRET_CODE` from [TextIn Console](https://www.textin.com/console/dashboard/setting). Credentials are saved to `~/.xparse-cli/config.yaml`.

### Option 2: Environment Variables

For CI/automation, set environment variables:

```bash
export XPARSE_APP_ID=<your_app_id>
export XPARSE_SECRET_CODE=<your_secret_code>
```

### Verify Setup

```bash
xparse-cli auth --show             # Show current credential source
xparse-cli parse <FILE>            # Should succeed without "unauthorized" errors
```

Credential priority: CLI flags → env vars → `~/.xparse-cli/config.yaml`

## Troubleshooting

For all error codes and recovery actions, see [error-handling.md](error-handling.md).
