Splits documents into contextual chunks for RAG and embedding pipelines. Useful when you want topic boundaries instead of a fixed character count.

## What it does

The skill drives the `indexion segment` command: it takes an input file, cuts it into segments and writes them to an output directory. Three strategies are available — `window` with sliding-window divergence detection, `tfidf` for topic shifts, and `punctuation` for sentence boundaries. The default is `window` with adaptive thresholding.

Chunk sizes are set explicitly through `--min-size`, `--max-size` and `--target-size`. A hybrid mode (`--hybrid`) blends NCD and TF-IDF, weighted by `--ncd-weight` and `--tfidf-weight`. That is a reasonable starting point for mixed-content documents, though the weights need tuning against your own corpus.

The command takes an input file and an output folder, and `--prefix` controls the output file names. If segments come out too large or too choppy, adjust `--threshold` and `--target-size`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-segment -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/indexion-segment/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/indexion-segment/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-segment -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/indexion-segment/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add trkbt10/indexion-skills --skill indexion-segment -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/indexion-segment/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install trkbt10/indexion-skills indexion-segment
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

gemini skills install https://github.com/trkbt10/indexion-skills --path skills/indexion-segment
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/indexion-segment/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

## When to use it
- chunk a long document for embeddings
- split text on topic changes rather than character count
- prepare a corpus for similarity search
- extract meaningful sections from mixed-content documents
- enforce a fixed chunk size in a pipeline

## Example prompts
- Split document.txt into segments in the output/ folder
- Segment this text with the tfidf strategy, target size 800
- Run hybrid mode with NCD weight 0.6 on this file

# indexion segment

Split text into contextual segments using divergence-based, TF-IDF, or punctuation strategies.

## When to Use

- User needs to chunk text for RAG or embedding pipelines
- User wants to split a document into meaningful sections
- User asks to segment text for processing
- Preparing text for similarity analysis at sub-document level

## Usage

```bash
# Default window divergence strategy
indexion segment <input-file> <output-dir>

# TF-IDF based segmentation
indexion segment --strategy=tfidf <input-file> <output-dir>

# Punctuation-based segmentation
indexion segment --strategy=punctuation <input-file> <output-dir>

# Custom segment sizes
indexion segment --min-size=200 --max-size=3000 --target-size=800 document.txt output/

# Custom divergence threshold
indexion segment --threshold=0.5 document.txt output/

# Adaptive threshold mode (default)
indexion segment --adaptive document.txt output/

# Hybrid NCD+TF-IDF mode
indexion segment --hybrid --ncd-weight=0.6 --tfidf-weight=0.4 document.txt output/

# Custom window size
indexion segment --window-size=5 document.txt output/

# Custom output prefix
indexion segment --prefix=chunk document.txt output/
```

## Options

| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `--strategy=NAME` | window | Strategy: window, tfidf, punctuation |
| `--min-size=INT` | 100 | Minimum segment characters |
| `--max-size=INT` | 2000 | Maximum segment characters |
| `--target-size=INT` | 500 | Target segment characters |
| `--threshold=FLOAT` | 0.42 | Divergence threshold |
| `--window-size=INT` | 3 | Window size |
| `--adaptive` | true | Adaptive threshold mode |
| `--hybrid` | false | NCD+TF-IDF hybrid mode |
| `--ncd-weight=FLOAT` | 0.5 | NCD weight in hybrid mode |
| `--tfidf-weight=FLOAT` | 0.5 | TF-IDF weight in hybrid mode |
| `--prefix=NAME` | segment | Output file prefix |

## Strategies

| Strategy | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `window` (default) | Sliding window divergence detection |
| `tfidf` | TF-IDF based topic change detection |
| `punctuation` | Punctuation/sentence boundary based |

## Workflow

1. Run `indexion segment <input-file> <output-dir>` to split text with defaults
2. Adjust `--threshold` and `--target-size` to tune segmentation granularity
3. Use `--hybrid` mode for better accuracy on mixed-content documents
