OPAL Content Extraction Agents

These prompts extract structured engineering knowledge from the NJ Stormwater BMP Manual and N.J.A.C. 7:8 source PDFs and output content ready to paste into OPAL MkDocs pages.

Preferred source files are in ../../Sources/, with ../docs/ retained as a fallback mirror. Resolve active phase-generation uploads through ../source_document_manifest.yaml.


Agent Index

Agent File Populates Pages
Agent 1 — BMP Content Extractor agent-01-bmp-content-extractor.md BMP_PAGE_TEMPLATE 21 BMP pages (Ch9, Ch10, Ch11)
Agent 2 — Regulatory Mapping agent-02-regulatory-mapping.md REGULATORY_TOPIC_TEMPLATE 5 Regulatory Explorer pages
Agent 3 — Constraint Analysis agent-03-constraint-analysis.md ENGINEERING_CONSTRAINT_TEMPLATE 5 Engineering Constraint pages
Agent 4 — Workflow Stage agent-04-workflow-stage.md WORKFLOW_STAGE_TEMPLATE 5 Design Workflow pages

Run Order

Follow the build sequence in Agents/10_build_sequence.md:

Phase C — Run Agent 1 for 3 core BMPs (Bioretention, Infiltration Basin, Extended Detention)
Phase D — Run Agent 2 for 5 regulatory topics
Phase E — Run Agent 3 for 5 engineering constraints
Phase F — Run Agent 4 for 5 workflow stages
Phase G — Run Agent 1 for remaining 18 BMPs

Do not advance to the next phase until pages from the current phase pass all 4 QC layers defined in Agents/11_quality_control_protocol.md.


How to Use an Agent

  1. Open the agent prompt file
  2. Fill in all [PLACEHOLDERS]
  3. Attach the listed PDFs by resolving each filename through ../source_document_manifest.yaml and preferring ../../Sources/
  4. Run in your AI tool (Google Opal, Gemini AI Studio, or any model with document upload)
  5. Paste the output into the target .md file in docs/
  6. Run mkdocs build and check for errors
  7. Validate against QC checklist in Agents/11_quality_control_protocol.md
