Opal Reference — Rev0 Prototype (Archived)

Archive Notice: This directory documents the Rev0 proof-of-concept pipeline — a sequential Generate→Render workflow used to validate the 2023 vs 2026 NJ Stormwater Manual comparison. It is not the production architecture.

The production system is the OPAL Knowledge System built as a modular MkDocs site in APP/. Content extraction agents for that system live in Opal/Agents/.

This section documents the workflow phases used to generate content in the Google Opal prototype. These are the prompt workflows that produce the structured outputs synced to this repository.

Opal Prototype: Open in Google Opal

Workflow Architecture

The Opal prototype operates in three phases:

Phase 1 Content Generation Regulatory, planning, and engineering reports
Phase 2 BMP Content Maintenance, small-scale GI, large-scale GI, non-GI
Phase 3 Master 2026 Synthesis Integrated 2026 content master document
