The Apache Tika toolkit detects and extracts metadata and text from over a thousand different file types (such as PPT, XLS, and PDF).

Ground rules for working in the Tika codebase — git policy, Maven wrapper/repo conventions, building and testing specific modules, code and test conventions, pre-commit checks. Load at session start for any Tika development task.

Taking a multi-PR feature from "shape unknown" to merged without five review rounds per PR: spike until interfaces stop moving, write the contract, cut PRs along contract seams, one review per PR. Use when starting a feature that touches more than one lifecycle object or public interface, when a PR review keeps…

Working with tika-metadata-schema, the build-gated registry of Tika metadata keys — regeneration after Property changes, gate tests, naming conventions, post-rename sweeps. Use when adding or renaming metadata keys or when the schema gate fails.

Run Tika's OSS-Fuzz Jazzer targets locally against a working-tree checkout — build the image, build fuzzers from local source, fuzz a target, run a corpus as a regression pass, reproduce a crash, and add seeds. Use for "fuzz the OneNote parser", "run OneNoteParserFuzzer against these files", "reproduce an OSS-Fuzz…

Review of a PR, branch, or your own uncommitted work across eight dimensions — security, correctness, test coverage, API/compatibility, usability, documentation, code quality, performance. Sizes the diff, reviews inline or fans out reviewers off a shared brief, verifies findings against code, reports a grouped list…

Compare extracts from two Tika builds over a corpus to detect regressions in content, encoding, exceptions, and embedded-document handling. Use for "compare before/after extracts", "eval this change against the corpus".

Condensed tika-eval pattern for charset-detector regression hunts ("A picks encoding X, B picks Y") using one build and two configs — encoding-pair flip queries, OOV/languageness/FFFD signals, per-file detector attribution.

Query the tika-eval H2 database directly for counts and joins the canned reports do not compute — connection gotchas, key tables, example queries. Use when the xlsx/summary.md reports are not enough.

Update/publish the Apache Tika website (tika-site SVN repo) for a release — step 17 of the Release Process. Handles the 4.x track (Changes page + aggregate javadoc + Antora docs branch) vs the 3.x maintenance track (full per-version apt docs + javadoc). Use for "update the site", "publish the site for X.Y.Z", "the…

Examine what a file claims about itself and what it actually contains — powered by Apache Tika. True content-based type detection (extensions lie), provenance claims (authors, dates, creating application), revision and tamper signals (PDF incremental updates, tracked changes, hidden slides, zip integrity), hidden and…

Run Apache Tika as a Docker container when you need guaranteed OCR (scanned PDFs, images) or geospatial raster support with zero local install — apache/tika: -full bundles Tesseract, GDAL, ImageMagick, and fonts. Also covers the minimal image, port/volume/memory conventions, the path-identity mount gotcha, and how to…

Turn almost any file into Markdown plus metadata — PDF, Office, HTML, email, archives, images, audio/video, 1000+ formats — powered by Apache Tika, either via the tika-app CLI (zero setup, one file) or a running tika-server (curl, warm process, many calls). Leads with rmeta (structured, embedded-item-aware output) as…
