paper-trail-reactivate-ocr

paper-trail-reactivate-ocr is a command for Claude Code from roomi-fields/paper-trail. It costs 45 tokens per session (557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that resumes checking research references whose PDFs are still waiting for OCR, the process that makes scanned text searchable. It moves each reference forward when OCR succeeds or marks it for another download attempt when OCR fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recheck all references waiting for OCR and see which were validated, are still pending, or need reacquisition.
Why use it?
It prevents references from remaining stuck after the background text-recognition process finishes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

paper-trail-reactivate-ocr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/paper-trail:reactivate-ocr — Resume OCR-waiting refs

Polls RTFM (local indexing engine) for refs in state awaiting_rtfm_ocr and dispatches them based on the OCR verdict.

Usage

/paper-trail:reactivate-ocr
/paper-trail:reactivate-ocr --quiet

No other arguments.

What it does

Delegates to the worker B :

python -m pipeline reactivate-ocr [--quiet]

For each ref in state awaiting_rtfm_ocr :

  1. Calls rtfm check --path <pdf> via the RTFM CLI
  2. Dispatches based on the verdict :
    • ok (OCR done, chunks indexed) → re-run page 1 validation, transition to page1_validated if validation passes
    • still_pending (OCR not yet finished) → no change
    • missing_in_index (RTFM hasn't seen this file yet) → log and wait
    • anomaly (OCR done but 0 chunks) → log anomaly, no transition
    • ocr_failed (OCR attempted and failed) → transition to needs_reacquisition for cascade retry

Output

# reactivate-ocr — N refs en awaiting_rtfm_ocr scannées
  converted                  N  (→ page1_validated)
  still_pending              N
  missing_in_index           N
  anomaly                    N
  ocr_failed                 N  (→ needs_reacquisition)
  needs_reacq_post_ocr       N
  error                      N

Cadence

There's no automatic polling. The skill is invoked manually when the user wants to check OCR progress. RTFM OCR jobs typically take minutes to hours depending on PDF size and queue depth.

Recommendation : run /paper-trail:reactivate-ocr at the start of each session to clear refs whose OCR completed in the interim.

Cross-reference

  • I15 invariant (doctor) reports refs that have been awaiting_rtfm_ocr

    30 days with no recent RTFM check

  • See tools/rtfm-bridge (if installed) for direct RTFM integration
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
