Unify the two schema-generation scenarios into a single slot-17 skill, both feeding one claims register -> build -> validate(16) pipeline: - Mode 1 (existing site): NEW scripts/extract_site_claims.py turns URLs / local HTML / a directory into a claims register. Existing JSON-LD -> CONFIRMED; title/OpenGraph -> PENDING (never auto-shipped). + site-extraction-methodology.md and bundled fixtures/site/ demo pages. - Mode 2 (not-yet-published site): land the source-to-schema engine (build_schema_drafts.py, type_templates.json, claims/source registers, 3 refs, sample_claims.csv) from the Desktop builder. - Rewrite SKILL.md (v2.0) around the two-mode framing; the claims register is the shared pivot. Only CONFIRMED, non-conflicting claims become schema; unfilled template slots are pruned, never emitted as placeholders. - Retire the old template-fill generator (code/ + desktop/); update root CLAUDE.md. Self-tested both chains end-to-end: Mode 2 sample -> build -> validate PASS (P0=0); Mode 1 fixtures -> extract -> build -> validate PASS (P0=0), JSON-LD round-trips with nested address intact. Fixed two adapter bugs (nested node promotion; relative-path URI). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Site-Extraction Methodology (Mode 1 — from an existing website)
How to turn an existing site into a claims register, and why this mode is easier than Mode 2 (collected sources) but still must not blindly trust what it scrapes.
Pair skill: extraction is scripts/extract_site_claims.py; the build engine and the
QA gate are shared with Mode 2. See source-to-schema-methodology.md for Mode 2.
Why a website is the easy case (and where it still bites)
A published site has a single source of truth — the pages themselves — so there is little to reconcile. The risks are different from Mode 2:
| Risk on an existing site | What it causes | Countermeasure |
|---|---|---|
| Trusting inferred meta as fact | wrong/old values shipped as schema | meta/OG seeded PENDING, never auto-shipped |
| Existing JSON-LD is partial or stale | gaps, outdated facts | extracted as CONFIRMED but spot-checked at review |
| Many near-identical pages | duplicate descriptions, bloated register | one entity per real thing; let Layer 4 catch dupes |
| JS-rendered schema not in raw HTML | "nothing extracted" | use a rendered snapshot / live fetch, or fall to Mode 2 |
The 5 steps
1. Choose the pages
Pick the canonical page per entity (home, about/company, each property/location, key product/FAQ pages). One representative page per entity is enough to seed it; you don't need the whole crawl.
2. Extract
Run the adapter on URLs, local .html files, or a directory (offline):
python scripts/extract_site_claims.py https://site/ https://site/about --out site_claims
python scripts/extract_site_claims.py ./snapshot/ --out site_claims # offline
It produces two tiers of claims:
- Existing JSON-LD →
CONFIRMED(authority 1). The site already published these facts about itself; flattened to dotted-path claims. <title>/ meta description / OpenGraph /<html lang>/ canonical →PENDING(authority 2). Inferred, not authoritative. These will not ship until confirmed.
3. Review the register (the critical human step)
Open site_claims/claims_register.csv:
- Spot-check CONFIRMED rows — extraction is faithful, but the site's own JSON-LD can be wrong/stale. Correct values; clear nothing silently.
- Confirm or drop PENDING rows — set
status=CONFIRMEDonly for facts you've verified; delete the rest. PENDING rows are excluded by the builder by design. - Add what the page didn't expose — telephone, full address,
geo,sameAs,priceRange. The richest schema usually needs facts no single page renders. - Set
conflict=Yon any value you're unsure about to keep it out until resolved.
4. Build
python scripts/build_schema_drafts.py site_claims/claims_register.csv --out drafts_out
Unfilled slots are pruned; only CONFIRMED, non-conflicting claims become schema. Read
drafts_out/build_report.md for everything excluded and why.
5. Validate (the gate)
python ../16-seo-schema-validator/scripts/validate_schema.py \
drafts_out/schema_drafts_dataset.csv --out qa_out
Gate = zero P0. Fix P0, re-build, re-validate, then open client review against the report (not raw JSON).
When NOT to use Mode 1
If the existing site already has good, complete JSON-LD, you don't need to regenerate
it — audit it in place with 16-seo-schema-validator Mode B
(validate_schema.py --live <URL>). Mode 1 is for sites whose pages carry the facts but
not yet the structured data, or whose schema needs a rebuild.
entity_id convention
The adapter assigns prefix:slug ids (org:, site:, hotel:, dining:, page:, …)
derived from each node's @id fragment or page URL. Rename them to stable, human ids
during review (e.g. hotel:theshilla-seoul) so re-runs and Mode 2 additions line up.
