Steps
Step 0: Confirm the Content and Use Case
Establish the content type (prose, code, structured docs) and how chunks will be used (retrieval, summarization, embedding).
Step 1: Choose the Splitting Strategy
Prefer semantic boundaries (headings, paragraphs, functions) over fixed-length splitting where the content structure allows it.
Step 2: Tune Chunk Size and Overlap
Size chunks to the retrieval/embedding model's sweet spot, and set overlap large enough to avoid splitting key information across a chunk boundary without wasting excessive tokens.
Key Rules
- Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
- Semantic splitting beats fixed-length splitting whenever the content has real structure — don't default to fixed-length out of convenience
- Chunk size should be justified by the downstream embedding/retrieval model's known behavior, not an arbitrary round number
- Test chunking against real queries — a chunking strategy that looks fine on paper can still split answers across boundaries
Output Format
A chunking spec — splitting strategy, chunk size, overlap, and the reasoning tied to the content type and downstream use.
Delivery
If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
