Workflow Overview

Workflow Overview

1. Detect instrument type from file contents (auto-detect or user-specified)
2. Parse file using allotropy library (native) or flexible fallback parser
3. Generate outputs:
   • ASM JSON (full semantic structure)
   • Flattened CSV (2D tabular format)
   • Python parser code (for data engineer handoff)
4. Deliver files with summary and usage instructions

When Uncertain: If you're unsure how to map a field to ASM (e.g., is this raw data or calculated? device setting or environmental condition?), ask the user for clarification. Refer to references/field_classification_guide.md for guidance, but when ambiguity remains, confirm with the user rather than guessing.
