• Error Recovery: Graceful degradation and fallback mechanisms
• Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, Linux support
• Multiple Interfaces: CLI, Web UI, and Python API

🚀 Features

• ⚡ Ultra-fast responses - Template system provides <100ms responses
• 🎯 High accuracy - >90% quality scores with professional GRASS GIS guidance
• 📦 Lightweight - Optimized package size under 1GB
• 🧠 Smart fallbacks - Enhanced responses for edge cases
• 🔄 Template-first - Instant responses for common GRASS GIS operations

📦 Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install grass-rag-pipeline

From Source

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/grass-rag-pipeline.git
cd grass-rag-pipeline
pip install -e .

System Requirements

• Python: 3.8 or higher
• Memory: 2GB RAM minimum, 4GB recommended
• Storage: 1GB free space for models and cache
• OS: Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, or Linux

🚀 Quick Start

Command Line Interface

# Ask a question
grass-rag --question "How do I calculate slope from a DEM?"

# Interactive mode
grass-rag --interactive

# Web interface
grass-rag-ui

Python API

from grass_rag import GrassRAG

# Initialize the pipeline
rag = GrassRAG()

# Ask a question
response = rag.ask("How do I import raster data into GRASS GIS?")
print(f"Answer: {response.answer}")
print(f"Confidence: {response.confidence:.3f}")
print(f"Response Time: {response.response_time_ms:.1f}ms")

# Batch processing
questions = [
    "Calculate slope from DEM",
    "Create buffer zones",
    "Export vector data"
]
responses = rag.ask_batch(questions)

Configuration

# Custom configuration
config = {
    "cache_size": 2000,
    "max_response_time": 3.0,
    "template_threshold": 0.9
}

rag = GrassRAG(config)

# Runtime configuration updates
rag.configure(cache_size=5000, template_threshold=0.8)

🏗️ Architecture

The pipeline uses a three-tier optimization strategy:

graph TD
    A[User Query] --> B{Template Match?}
    B -->|Yes| C[Template Response <100ms]
    B -->|No| D{Cache Hit?}
    D -->|Yes| E[Cached Response <10ms]
    D -->|No| F[Enhanced Fallback 1-2s]
    C --> G[Response with Metadata]
    E --> G
    F --> G

Core Components

1. Template System: Instant responses for common GRASS GIS operations
2. Multi-level Cache: L1 (preloaded) + L2 (dynamic LRU) caching
3. Enhanced Fallback: Structured responses for edge cases
4. Error Recovery: Graceful degradation and error handling
