Designed the same invoice-field-extraction task twice: baseline reached for OCR + regex/LLM guesswork, the skill's Pydantic-to-JSON-Schema + client.extract() path returns the fields plus per-field chunk traceability and confidence scores out of the box.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Document Extraction (ADE) does

Wraps LandingAI's Agentic Document Extraction (ADE) API/SDK to parse PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and presentations into structured Markdown with per-chunk grounding, then extract specific fields via a JSON Schema or Pydantic model. Also covers classifying and splitting mixed document batches, generating a table of contents, and async jobs for large files. Triggers on schema-based extraction, page classification, document splitting, TOC generation, or any mention of bounding boxes/grounding/word locations.
