Summary

Planning deliverables for digitizing the historical document collection at The Pines (Skaneateles Lake, NY) and building an AI-queryable family archive from it. These docs seed the real project, which will be started in its own repo/session — this PR parks the plan somewhere shareable in the meantime.

What's included

  • docs/pines/PLAN.md — four-phase roadmap: on-site capture week (the only time-critical phase), transcription (OCR + vision-LLM for handwriting), structured archive (metadata, entity registry, timeline, search index), and the LLM layer (RAG-first, with a reality check on why training a small model from scratch on a ~1M-token corpus isn't viable).
  • docs/pines/CAPTURE-GUIDE.md — field procedure for the Mon–Fri on-site window: phone copy-stand rig, naming convention, per-document procedure, daily schedule, nightly 3-2-1 backups, and capturing oral provenance from relatives while they're reachable.
  • docs/pines/capture-log.template.csv — document inventory template matching the naming convention.
  • docs/pines/metadata-schema.json — draft JSON Schema for per-document meta.json used in the structuring phase.

Closing unmerged: The Pines project is getting its own repo, so these planning docs shouldn't land in dev-strap. The branch claude/pines-digitization-planning-89xwky stays up as the reference copy — grab the four files under docs/pines/ from it when seeding the new repo, then the branch can be deleted.
