# dsRAG - Doramagic AI Context Pack

> Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated.

## Project

- canonical_name: `D-Star-AI/dsRAG`
- capability: High-performance retrieval engine for unstructured data
- expected_user_outcome: High-performance retrieval engine for unstructured data

## Operating Boundaries

- Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it.
- Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references.
- When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact.
- publish_status: `publishable`
- blocking_gaps: none

## Doramagic Context Augmentation

The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints.

## Human Manual Outline

Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph.

Host AI hard rules:
- Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence.
- When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal.
- Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph.

- **Overview & System Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: README.md, dsrag/knowledge_base.py, dsrag/create_kb.py, dsrag/add_document.py, mkdocs.yml
- **Pluggable Retrieval Components**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: dsrag/database/vector/db.py, dsrag/database/vector/basic_db.py, dsrag/database/vector/chroma_db.py, dsrag/database/vector/weaviate_db.py, dsrag/database/vector/qdrant_db.py
- **Core Retrieval Innovations**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: dsrag/auto_context.py, dsrag/auto_query.py, dsrag/rse.py, dsrag/dsparse/sectioning_and_chunking/semantic_sectioning.py, dsrag/dsparse/sectioning_and_chunking/chunking.py
- **dsParse: Multimodal File Parsing & VLM Integration**: importance `medium`
  - source_paths: dsrag/dsparse/README.md, dsrag/dsparse/main.py, dsrag/dsparse/file_parsing/vlm_clients.py, dsrag/dsparse/file_parsing/vlm.py, dsrag/dsparse/file_parsing/vlm_file_parsing.py

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `5215e9791133fc1ad383af043fb2fde0e7d4e4d4`
- inspected_files: `README.md`, `pyproject.toml`, `requirements.txt`, `docs/api/chat.md`, `docs/api/knowledge_base.md`, `docs/community/contributing.md`, `docs/community/professional-services.md`, `docs/community/support.md`, `docs/concepts/chat.md`, `docs/concepts/citations.md`, `docs/concepts/components.md`, `docs/concepts/config.md`, `docs/concepts/knowledge-bases.md`, `docs/concepts/logging.md`, `docs/concepts/overview.md`, `docs/concepts/vlm.md`, `docs/getting-started/installation.md`, `docs/getting-started/quickstart.md`, `docs/index.md`, `examples/example_kb_data/metadata/levels_of_agi.json`

Host AI hard rules:
- Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read.
- Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts.
- Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully.

## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints

These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes.

### Constraint 1: Installation risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
- Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment.
- Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
- Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/D-Star-AI/dsRAG/issues/113
