The skill document
ChatDOC Studio KnowledgeMate
Run a JavaScript workflow that uploads local PDF/DOC/DOCX files to ChatDOC Studio through PDRouter, waits for successful parsing, and creates a knowledge base from the successful uploads in one step.
This is suitable for creating knowledge bases from local files or folders, then using the returned library_id for document listing, retrieval, grep, syllabus reading, and block reading.
Installation
npx skills add PaodingAI/skills
For a local Codex installation, place this skill directory under:
$CODEX_HOME/skills/chatdoc-studio-knowledgemate
Usage
Create a knowledge base from files:
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs upload-and-create \
--name "Quarterly KB" \
--file ./docs/a.pdf \
--file ./docs/b.docx \
--file ./docs/c.pdf
Create a knowledge base from a folder recursively:
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs upload-and-create \
--name "Quarterly KB" \
--dir ./docs
Query an existing knowledge base:
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs retrieval --library-id --query
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs list-documents --library-id
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs stats --library-id --upload-id
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs grep --library-id --upload-id --pattern
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs read --library-id --upload-id --offset
node scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs read-syllabus --library-id --upload-id
Execution Constraints
- You must invoke
scripts/knowledge-mate.mjsdirectly. Do not reimplement the PDRouter or ChatDOC Studio API flow yourself during normal use. - Route every request through PDRouter at
/openapi/chatdoc-studio/.... - Authenticate only with
Authorization: Bearer. - Do not call
chatdoc_studiodirectly. - Do not add internal
X-PD-*signature headers in this skill. - Do not expose or use separate upload-only or create-only commands; use
upload-and-createfor new knowledge bases. - Only inspect or modify the script implementation when the script itself is unavailable, failing, or needs a fix.
- The behavior contract below explains what the script does, what it outputs, and when to use it. It is not a manual checklist for the model to imitate step by step.
When to Use
- Use this skill when the user wants to create a ChatDOC Studio knowledge base from local PDF, DOC, or DOCX files.
- Use this skill when the user provides a folder and asks to build a knowledge base from the documents inside it.
- Use this skill when the user wants knowledge retrieval, document search, document stats, syllabus inspection, or reading specific document blocks from a ChatDOC Studio knowledge base.
- Use this skill when the workflow must skip failed or unsupported files without aborting the entire upload batch.
- Use this skill only for PDRouter-backed ChatDOC Studio skill APIs, not for direct ChatDOC Studio internal APIs.
Environment Variables
PAODINGAI_API_KEY: Required. The Bearer API key for PDRouter. If it is missing, the script fails immediately and tells the user to create a Bearer API Key in pdrouter, then export it before retrying.
The PDRouter base URL is fixed in the script as https://platform.paodingai.com. The service code is fixed in the script as chatdoc-studio; users do not need to set base-url or service-code environment variables.
The API key can be obtained from the PDRouter platform.
Default Behavior and Optional Settings
- Upload concurrency is fixed at
5. - Supported upload file types are
.pdf,.doc, and.docx. --diris scanned recursively.--fileand--dircan be mixed in one command.- Duplicate file paths are removed before upload.
- Unsupported file types are not uploaded and are reported as skipped failures.
- If more than
300supported files are found, the script stops before uploading and asks the user to clean the folder to at most300PDF/DOC/DOCX files. - If every file fails to upload or parse, knowledge-base creation is skipped and the script exits with a non-zero status.
Script Behavior
- Read
PAODINGAI_API_KEYfrom the environment and use the fixed PDRouter base URLhttps://platform.paodingai.com. - Expand all
--fileinputs and recursively scanned--dirinputs into one de-duplicated file list. - Count supported
.pdf,.doc, and.docxfiles before uploading. If the count is greater than300, fail immediately without uploading anything. - Upload supported files through
POST /openapi/chatdoc-studio/knowledge-base/uploadwith concurrency5. - Skip unsupported files, upload failures, parse failures, and per-file backend errors without aborting the whole batch.
- Call
POST /openapi/chatdoc-studio/knowledge-baseonly with successfulupload_ids. - Print JSON output. Successful API responses are unwrapped to their
datapayload. Failed requests print a clear error reason and include the backend response when available. - After
upload-and-createreturns alibrary_id, use the read/query commands for retrieval, listing documents, stats, grep, syllabus reading, or block reading.
Resources
- Run scripts/knowledge-mate.mjs instead of rewriting the HTTP client by hand.
