dossier-assistant 0.1.0

Filesystem-first, git-like dossier management for legal cases.

DAS Case

Filesystem-first, git-like dossier management for legal cases.

Installation

source init.sh

OCR for scanned PDFs is optional and uses the ocrmypdf system binary:

sudo apt install ocrmypdf tesseract-ocr-nld

das intake falls back gracefully if the binary is missing.

Usage

das --help

Documentation map

• What does it do? → src/das/api.py — the functional contract. Docstrings are the spec.
• Why does it exist? → docs/nl/blauwdruk.md — stakeholder pitch.
• How is it built? → docs/architecture.md — non-obvious decisions only.

Docs policy

Code is the source of truth. api.py carries the functional contract via docstrings. architecture.md records only non-obvious decisions (≤60 lines). blauwdruk.md is the stakeholder pitch — no implementation detail. If a fact lives in code, do not duplicate it in docs/. New prose requires deleting an equivalent amount. Work not yet started lives in docs/later/ and is not authoritative.
