LlamaParse Skill

LlamaParse Skill

Parse unstructured documents (such as PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX) with LlamaParse and extract their contents (text, markdown, images...).
使用LlamaParse解析非结构化文档(如PDF、DOCX、PPTX、XLSX)并提取其内容(文本、Markdown、图片等)。

Initial Setup

初始设置

When this skill is invoked, respond with:
I'm ready to use LlamaParse to parse files. Before we begin, please confirm that:

- `LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY` is set as environment variable within the current environment
- `@llamaindex/llama-cloud@latest` is installed and available within the current Node environment

If both of them are set, please provide:

1. One or more files to be parsed
2. Specific parsing options, such as tier, API version, custom prompt, processing options...
3. Any requests you might have regarding the parsed content of the file.

I will produce a Typescript script to run the parsing job and, once you approved its execution, I will report the results back to you based on your request.
Then wait for the user's input.

然后等待用户输入。

Step 0 — Install
llama-cloud
(optional)

步骤0 — 安装
llama-cloud
(可选)

If the user does not have the
@llamaindex/llama-cloud
package installed, add it to the current environment by running:
bash
npm install @llamaindex/llama-cloud@latest
如果用户尚未安装
@llamaindex/llama-cloud
包,请通过运行以下命令将其添加到当前环境中:
bash
npm install @llamaindex/llama-cloud@latest

Step 1 — Produce a Typescript Script

步骤1 — 生成Typescript脚本

Once the user confirms the environment variables are set and provides the necessary details for the parsing job, produce a typescript script.
As a source of truth for the TS script, you can:
  • Refer to the example.ts script, which covers most of the necessary configurations for LlamaParse
  • Refer to the complete LlamaParse Documentation, fetching the
    https://developers.llamaindex.ai/python/cloud/llamaparse/api-v2-guide/
    page.
一旦用户确认环境变量已配置完成,并提供了解析任务所需的必要信息,即可生成一个Typescript脚本
关于TS脚本的参考标准,你可以:
  • 参考example.ts脚本,它涵盖了LlamaParse的大多数必要配置
  • 参考完整的LlamaParse文档,访问
    https://developers.llamaindex.ai/python/cloud/llamaparse/api-v2-guide/
    页面。

Scripting Best Practices

脚本编写最佳实践

Follow these guidelines when generating scripts:
生成脚本时请遵循以下准则:

1. Always Use the Top-Level
LlamaCloud
Client

1. 始终使用顶层
LlamaCloud
客户端

Use
LlamaCloud
(the API client) for all parsing operations:
typescript
import LlamaCloud from "@llamaindex/llama-cloud";

// Define a client
const client = new LlamaCloud({
  apiKey: process.env["LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"], // This is the default and can be omitted
});
所有解析操作都使用
LlamaCloud
(API客户端):
typescript
import LlamaCloud from "@llamaindex/llama-cloud";

// Define a client
const client = new LlamaCloud({
  apiKey: process.env["LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

2. Two-Step Upload → Parse Pattern

2. 两步式「上传→解析」流程

Always upload first to get a file ID, then parse using the file ID. Never pass raw file bytes directly to
parse()
.
typescript
import { readFile, writeFile } from "fs/promises";
import { basename } from "path";

// 1. Convert the file path into a File object
const buffer = await readFile(filePath);
const fileName = basename(filePath);
const file = new File([buffer], fileName);
// 2. Upload the file to the cloud
const fileObj = await client.files.create({
  file: file,
  purpose: "parse",
});
// 3. Get the file ID
const fileId = fileObj.id;
// 4. Use the file ID to parse the file
const result = await client.parsing.parse({
  tier: "agentic",
  version: "latest",
  file_id: fileId,
  ...
});
If the user already has a file ID (e.g. from a prior upload), skip the upload step and use it directly.
始终先上传文件获取文件ID,再使用该文件ID进行解析。切勿直接将原始文件字节传递给
parse()
方法。
typescript
import { readFile, writeFile } from "fs/promises";
import { basename } from "path";

// 1. Convert the file path into a File object
const buffer = await readFile(filePath);
const fileName = basename(filePath);
const file = new File([buffer], fileName);
// 2. Upload the file to the cloud
const fileObj = await client.files.create({
  file: file,
  purpose: "parse",
});
// 3. Get the file ID
const fileId = fileObj.id;
// 4. Use the file ID to parse the file
const result = await client.parsing.parse({
  tier: "agentic",
  version: "latest",
  file_id: fileId,
  ...
});
如果用户已拥有文件ID(例如来自之前的上传),则跳过上传步骤,直接使用该ID。

3. Choose the Right Tier

3. 选择合适的服务层级

TierWhen to Use
fast
Speed is the priority; simple documents
cost_effective
Budget-conscious; straightforward text extraction
agentic
Complex layouts, tables, mixed content (default recommendation)
agentic_plus
Advanced analysis, highest accuracy
Default to
agentic
unless the user specifies otherwise or the document is simple.
层级使用场景
fast
优先考虑速度;适用于简单文档
cost_effective
注重成本控制;适用于直接提取文本
agentic
复杂布局、表格、混合内容(默认推荐)
agentic_plus
高级分析、最高精度
除非用户指定或文档内容简单,否则默认使用
agentic
层级。

4. Always Include the
expand
Parameter

4. 始终包含
expand
参数

The
expand
parameter controls what content is returned. Omitting it returns minimal data. Always specify exactly what you need:
ValueReturns
text_full
Plain text via
result.text_full
markdown_full
Markdown via
result.markdown_full
items
Page-level JSON via
result.items.pages
text_content_metadata
Per-page text metadata
markdown_content_metadata
Per-page markdown metadata
items_content_metadata
Per-page items metadata
images_content_metadata
Image list with presigned URLs
output_pdf_content_metadata
Output PDF metadata
xlsx_content_metadata
Excel-specific metadata
Only request metadata
*_content_metadata
variants when you need presigned URLs or per-page detail — they increase payload size.
expand
参数控制返回的内容类型。省略该参数将仅返回最小化数据。请始终明确指定所需的内容:
返回内容
text_full
纯文本,通过
result.text_full
获取
markdown_full
Markdown格式内容,通过
result.markdown_full
获取
items
按页划分的JSON数据,通过
result.items.pages
获取
text_content_metadata
每页文本的元数据
markdown_content_metadata
每页Markdown内容的元数据
items_content_metadata
每页条目内容的元数据
images_content_metadata
包含预签名URL的图片列表
output_pdf_content_metadata
输出PDF的元数据
xlsx_content_metadata
Excel专属元数据
仅当你需要预签名URL或每页详细信息时,才请求
*_content_metadata
类的元数据——它们会增加负载大小。

5. Handle None Results Defensively

5. 防御性处理空结果

result.text_full
,
result.markdown_full
, and
result.items
may be
undefined
on failure. Always guard against this:
typescript
const text = result.text_full ?? "";
const markdown = result.markdown_full ?? "";
解析失败时,
result.text_full
result.markdown_full
result.items
可能为
undefined
。请始终对此进行防护:
typescript
const text = result.text_full ?? "";
const markdown = result.markdown_full ?? "";

6. Use Structured Options for Advanced Configuration

6. 使用结构化选项进行高级配置

Group options using the correct nested keys:
typescript
const result = await client.parsing.parse({
  tier: "agentic",
  version: "latest",
  file_id: fileId,
  input_options: {
    presentation: {
      skip_embedded_data: false,
    },
  },
  output_options: {
    images_to_save: ["screenshot"],
    markdown: {
      tables: { output_tables_as_markdown: true },
      annotate_links: true,
    },
  },
  processing_options: {
    specialized_chart_parsing: "agentic",
    ocr_parameters: { languages: ["de", "en"] },
  },
  agentic_options: {
    custom_prompt:
      "Extract text from the provided file and translate it from German to English.",
  },
  expand: [
    "markdown_full",
    "images_content_metadata",
    "markdown_content_metadata",
  ],
});
Use
agentic_options.custom_prompt
whenever the user wants to guide extraction (translation, summarization, structured extraction, etc.).
使用正确的嵌套键对选项进行分组:
typescript
const result = await client.parsing.parse({
  tier: "agentic",
  version: "latest",
  file_id: fileId,
  input_options: {
    presentation: {
      skip_embedded_data: false,
    },
  },
  output_options: {
    images_to_save: ["screenshot"],
    markdown: {
      tables: { output_tables_as_markdown: true },
      annotate_links: true,
    },
  },
  processing_options: {
    specialized_chart_parsing: "agentic",
    ocr_parameters: { languages: ["de", "en"] },
  },
  agentic_options: {
    custom_prompt:
      "Extract text from the provided file and translate it from German to English.",
  },
  expand: [
    "markdown_full",
    "images_content_metadata",
    "markdown_content_metadata",
  ],
});
当用户需要引导提取操作(翻译、摘要、结构化提取等)时,请使用
agentic_options.custom_prompt

7. Downloading Images Requires
httpx
and Auth

7. 下载图片需要
httpx
和身份验证

When
images_content_metadata
is in
expand
, download images via presigned URLs with Bearer auth:
typescript
if (result.images_content_metadata) {
  for (const image of result.images_content_metadata.images) {
    if (image.presigned_url) {
      const response = await fetch(image.presigned_url, {
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env["LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"]}`,
        },
      });
      if (response.ok) {
        const content = await response.bytes();
        await writeFile(image.filename, content);
      }
    }
  }
}
expand
参数中包含
images_content_metadata
时,需要使用Bearer身份验证通过预签名URL下载图片:
typescript
if (result.images_content_metadata) {
  for (const image of result.images_content_metadata.images) {
    if (image.presigned_url) {
      const response = await fetch(image.presigned_url, {
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env["LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"]}`,
        },
      });
      if (response.ok) {
        const content = await response.bytes();
        await writeFile(image.filename, content);
      }
    }
  }
}

8. Use the Node shebang

8. 添加Node Shebang

Every generated script should include the node shebang:
typescript
#!/usr/bin/env node

每个生成的脚本都应包含Node shebang:
typescript
#!/usr/bin/env node

Step 2 — Execute the Typescript Script

步骤2 — 执行Typescript脚本

Once the typescript script has been produced, you should:
  1. Present the script to the user and ask for permissions to run it (depending on the current permissions settings)
  2. Once you obtained permission to run, execute the script
  3. Explore the results based on the user's requests
In order to run typescript scripts, it is highly recommended to use:
npx tsx script.ts
.
生成Typescript脚本后,你需要:
  1. 将脚本呈现给用户,并请求运行权限(取决于当前的权限设置)
  2. 获取运行权限后,执行该脚本
  3. 根据用户的请求分析解析结果
为了运行Typescript脚本,强烈建议使用:
npx tsx script.ts
