Schema-first LLM extraction framework with entity grounding and deterministic post-processing
Project description
Sourcery: Schema-First Document Extraction (LangExtract Alternative on BlackGeorge)
Sourcery is a schema-first LLM extraction framework for turning unstructured documents into typed, grounded entities and claims.
It is built on BlackGeorge runtime primitives (Desk, Flow, Worker, Workforce, RunStore, EventBus) and is designed as a clean-break alternative to LangExtract.
What Is Sourcery
Sourcery is for people building:
- document AI pipelines,
- compliance and legal extraction systems,
- financial filing intelligence,
- contract and policy analyzers,
- review workflows with human approval.
Core idea:
- Define extraction contracts in Pydantic v2.
- Run deterministic chunked extraction with LLM structured output.
- Align results to source offsets.
- Reconcile at document-level into canonical claims.
- Review/export via JSONL + HTML reviewer.
Why Sourcery vs LangExtract
Sourcery is optimized for type safety + runtime reliability + deterministic post-processing.
- Pydantic contracts are first-class (
EntitySpec.attributes_model). - BlackGeorge-native runtime orchestration (no custom provider router stack).
- Deterministic alignment statuses (
exact,fuzzy,partial,unresolved). - Deterministic merge behavior across passes.
- Typed error taxonomy for provider/runtime/pipeline/ingestion failures.
- Run replay seam via BlackGeorge run store.
- Built-in reviewer UI (search/filter/approve/export).
- Document-level reconciliation support (Workforce + Blackboard + resolver worker).
BlackGeorge Relationship
Sourcery is an application layer on top of BlackGeorge.
- Sourcery handles extraction domain logic.
- BlackGeorge handles model execution, workflow orchestration, events, pause/resume, and run storage.
This means BlackGeorge is a hard runtime dependency in this project.
Features
- Schema-first extraction with Pydantic models.
- Ingestion adapters: text, file, PDF, HTML, URL, OCR image.
- Deterministic chunking and alignment.
- Multi-pass extraction with stop-when-no-new-results.
- Cross-chunk refinement and document-level reconciliation.
- Session-based refinement mode.
- Reviewer HTML UI + export to JSONL/CSV.
- Run tracing and replay.
Install
uv sync --extra dev --extra ingest
PyPI distribution name: sourceryforge
Python import path: sourcery
pip install sourceryforge (uv add sourceryforge)
If you want Sourcery vs LangExtract benchmark tooling:
uv sync --extra benchmark
Set your provider key (example):
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="..."
Set RuntimeConfig.model to a provider/model route supported by your BlackGeorge runtime setup.
Reproducible Benchmark
Run the benchmark from this repo root:
uv run sourcery-benchmark --text-types english,japanese,french,spanish --max-chars 4500 --max-passes 2 --sourcery-model deepseek/deepseek-chat
Run it from any directory:
uv run --project /path/to/sourcery sourcery-benchmark --text-types english
Or run the compatibility wrapper:
uv run benchmark_compare.py --text-types english
Output JSON is written to benchmark_results/ and includes:
- run settings,
- tokenization throughput table,
- per-language Sourcery and LangExtract extraction metrics,
- aggregate summary for both frameworks.
Benchmark Port Scope
This is based on LangExtract benchmarks/benchmark.py behavior, but it is not a byte-for-byte clone.
- Ported: Gutenberg text sampling flow, per-language extraction runs, retry behavior, timing, grounded/unresolved metrics, JSON output artifacts.
Quickstart
from pydantic import BaseModel
import sourcery
from sourcery.contracts import (
EntitySchemaSet,
EntitySpec,
ExtractRequest,
ExtractionExample,
ExtractionTask,
ExampleExtraction,
RuntimeConfig,
)
class PersonAttrs(BaseModel):
role: str | None = None
request = ExtractRequest(
documents="Alice is the CEO of Acme.",
task=ExtractionTask(
instructions="Extract people.",
schema=EntitySchemaSet(
entities=[EntitySpec(name="person", attributes_model=PersonAttrs)]
),
examples=[
ExtractionExample(
text="Bob is the CTO.",
extractions=[
ExampleExtraction(entity="person", text="Bob", attributes={"role": "CTO"})
],
)
],
),
runtime=RuntimeConfig(model="deepseek/deepseek-chat"),
)
result = sourcery.extract(request)
print(result.metrics.model_dump(mode="json"))
