MineruPress

Use this skill to support MineruPress as a user-facing publishing tool and as a contributor-maintained Python package.

Audience Split

For ordinary users, prefer the released package and an isolated book workspace:

pip install "minerupress[all]"
pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material
minerupress init my-book
cd my-book

For contributors changing MineruPress itself, use the repository checkout:

git clone https://github.com/aronnaxlin/minerupress.git
cd minerupress
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Do not make users clone the toolchain repo just to run a book. The bundled template is copied with minerupress init <directory> from the installed package.

Source Modes

Choose exactly one source mode per book workspace:

• uploaded_result: The user already has MinerU output under resources/mineru/. This is the bundled template default and has no network or local parsing side effects.
• official_api: The user starts from PDFs and wants MinerU official API parsing. Requires api.sources and MINERU_API_TOKEN.
• local_toolchain: The user starts from PDFs, images, Office files, or a directory and already installed MinerU's mineru CLI separately.

MineruPress must not bundle MinerU or silently install it. For local_toolchain, point users to MinerU official installation and CLI docs, with uv pip install -U "mineru[all]" as the common install path and official docs as the authority for optional backends and parameters.

Preferred User Workflow

1. Create or enter an isolated book workspace with minerupress init <dir>.
2. Choose one source in book.yml.
3. Prepare source data:
   • For uploaded_result, put MinerU output directories under resources/mineru/.
   • For official_api, put PDFs under resources/pdfs/, configure api.sources, then run minerupress fetch book.yml.
   • For local_toolchain, install MinerU separately, configure local_toolchain.sources, then run minerupress fetch book.yml.
4. Inspect generated MinerU output and heading candidates.
5. Refine chapters in book.yml.
6. Run minerupress export book.yml.
7. Verify with mkdocs build --strict.
8. Optionally create fingerprints with minerupress fingerprint --docs-dir docs --out reports/fingerprints.json.

Use minerupress export --fetch book.yml only as a convenience or backward-compatible shortcut. In explanations, keep fetch as "prepare source then export" and export as "export existing MinerU output".

Workspace Rules

When operating on a book workspace:

• Read book.yml and mkdocs.yml first.
• Read local AGENTS.md if present.
• Treat .env, source PDFs, resources/mineru/, docs/chapters/, docs/images/, site/, and reports/ as local/generated unless the user explicitly wants to version that book project.
• Do not hand-edit generated chapter Markdown as the durable fix; update book.yml, the source MinerU output, or a plugin.
• Copy PDFs into the workspace, usually under resources/pdfs/, before API fetch or local parsing. This avoids PDF splitting into protected/cloud-drive paths.

Commands

Current primary CLI:

minerupress init my-book
minerupress export book.yml
minerupress fetch book.yml
minerupress headings resources/mineru --volume-uid my-book --format yaml --body-only
minerupress fingerprint --docs-dir docs --out reports/fingerprints.json

Legacy wrappers such as minerupress-export, minerupress-fetch, minerupress-headings, mineru-export, and mineru-fetch remain available only for existing projects. Do not present them as the main workflow.

book.yml Guidance

Set source explicitly for new configs:

source: uploaded_result
mineru_root: resources/mineru
docs_out: docs
volume_uid: my-book
toc_max_page: 10
allow_missing_boundaries: false

plugins:
  - qr_filter
  - cjk_spacing

chapters:
  - slug: ch01-overview
    title: 第1章 概述

For API mode:

source: official_api
api:
  token: ""
  enable_formula: true
  enable_table: true
  model_version: vlm
  sources:
    my-book: resources/pdfs/book.pdf

For local MinerU CLI mode:

source: local_toolchain
local_toolchain:
  executable: mineru
  args:
    - -b
    - pipeline
  sources:
    my-book: resources/pdfs/book.pdf

local_toolchain.args must not include -p, --path, -o, or --output; MineruPress appends those automatically.

Chapter Boundary Guidance

Prefer chapter title plus slug; omit regexes unless matching is ambiguous.

Use aliases for alternate visible headings:

chapters:
  - slug: appendix-a
    title: 附录A 部分习题的解答
    aliases:
      - Appendix A

Use start_patterns for precise regex alternatives:

chapters:
  - slug: unit-01
    title: 第一单元 Web 基础
    start_patterns:
      - "^Unit\\s*1\\b"
      - "^第\\s*一\\s*单元"

Only use --allow-missing-boundaries while diagnosing bad MinerU output. A successful production run should find every configured chapter boundary.

If TOC lines such as 第1章 引论 …… 3 are matched before the real body heading, switch to exact body-heading regexes:

chapters:
  - slug: ch01-introduction
    title: 引论
    start_pattern: "^第\\s*1\\s*章$"

Use the headings helper before hand-writing many boundaries:

minerupress headings resources/mineru --volume-uid my-book --format report
minerupress headings resources/mineru --volume-uid my-book --format yaml --body-only

Verification

For a user workspace:

minerupress export book.yml
mkdocs build --strict

For repository development:

python -m compileall minerupress
pytest

When template behavior changes, confirm book_template/ and minerupress/book_template/ are synchronized and that minerupress init <tmp-dir> creates a buildable placeholder site.

Generated Output Behavior

Each export rebuilds:

• docs/chapters/
• docs/images/

If a chapter appears wrong, fix the configuration, source data, or plugin. Avoid treating generated Markdown as the source of truth.

Content Details

MinerU code items may store their body in code_body rather than text. The exporter preserves already-fenced code blocks from MinerU and wraps unfenced code.

Literal HTML/XML tags in normal prose and captions are escaped during export so textbooks can discuss tags such as <span> without MkDocs rendering them as real HTML. Raw table_body HTML is preserved as table markup.
