  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by xu-xiang on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Regex Vs Llm Structured Text AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/xu-xiang/everything-claude-code-zh/tree/main/docs/zh-CN/skills/regex-vs-llm-structured-text
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/xu-xiang/everything-claude-code-zh.git /tmp/everything-claude-code-zh
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/everything-claude-code-zh/docs/zh-CN/skills/regex-vs-llm-structured-text .claude/skills/regex-vs-llm-structured-text
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Regex Vs Llm Structured Text in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Regex Vs Llm Structured Text on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Regex Vs Llm Structured Text is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

正则表达式 vs LLM 用于结构化文本解析

一个用于解析结构化文本(测验、表单、发票、文档)的实用决策框架。核心见解是:正则表达式能以低成本、确定性的方式处理 95-98% 的情况。将昂贵的 LLM 调用留给剩余的边缘情况。

何时使用

  • 解析具有重复模式的结构化文本(问题、表单、表格)
  • 决定在文本提取时使用正则表达式还是 LLM
  • 构建结合两种方法的混合管道
  • 在文本处理中优化成本/准确性权衡

决策框架

Is the text format consistent and repeating?
├── Yes (>90% follows a pattern) → Start with Regex
│   ├── Regex handles 95%+ → Done, no LLM needed
│   └── Regex handles <95% → Add LLM for edge cases only
└── No (free-form, highly variable) → Use LLM directly

架构模式

Source Text
    │
    ▼
[Regex Parser] ─── Extracts structure (95-98% accuracy)
    │
    ▼
[Text Cleaner] ─── Removes noise (markers, page numbers, artifacts)
    │
    ▼
[Confidence Scorer] ─── Flags low-confidence extractions
    │
    ├── High confidence (≥0.95) → Direct output
    │
    └── Low confidence (<0.95) → [LLM Validator] → Output

实现

1. 正则表达式解析器(处理大多数情况)

python
import re
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class ParsedItem:
    id: str
    text: str
    choices: tuple[str, ...]
    answer: str
    confidence: float = 1.0

def parse_structured_text(content: str) -> list[ParsedItem]:
    """Parse structured text using regex patterns."""
    pattern = re.compile(
        r"(?P<id>\d+)\.\s*(?P<text>.+?)\n"
        r"(?P<choices>(?:[A-D]\..+?\n)+)"
        r"Answer:\s*(?P<answer>[A-D])",
        re.MULTILINE | re.DOTALL,
    )
    items = []
    for match in pattern.finditer(content):
        choices = tuple(
            c.strip() for c in re.findall(r"[A-D]\.\s*(.+)", match.group("choices"))
        )
        items.append(ParsedItem(
            id=match.group("id"),
            text=match.group("text").strip(),
            choices=choices,
            answer=match.group("answer"),
        ))
    return items

2. 置信度评分

标记可能需要 LLM 审核的项:

python
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class ConfidenceFlag:
    item_id: str
    score: float
    reasons: tuple[str, ...]

def score_confidence(item: ParsedItem) -> ConfidenceFlag:
    """Score extraction confidence and flag issues."""
    reasons = []
    score = 1.0

    if len(item.choices) < 3:
        reasons.append("few_choices")
        score -= 0.3

    if not item.answer:
        reasons.append("missing_answer")
        score -= 0.5

    if len(item.text) < 10:
        reasons.append("short_text")
        score -= 0.2

    return ConfidenceFlag(
        item_id=item.id,
        score=max(0.0, score),
        reasons=tuple(reasons),
    )

def identify_low_confidence(
    items: list[ParsedItem],
    threshold: float = 0.95,
) -> list[ConfidenceFlag]:
    """Return items below confidence threshold."""
    flags = [score_confidence(item) for item in items]
    return [f for f in flags if f.score < threshold]

3. LLM 验证器(仅用于边缘情况)

python
def validate_with_llm(
    item: ParsedItem,
    original_text: str,
    client,
) -> ParsedItem:
    """Use LLM to fix low-confidence extractions."""
    response = client.messages.create(
        model="claude-haiku-4-5-20251001",  # Cheapest model for validation
        max_tokens=500,
        messages=[{
            "role": "user",
            "content": (
                f"Extract the question, choices, and answer from this text.\n\n"
                f"Text: {original_text}\n\n"
                f"Current extraction: {item}\n\n"
                f"Return corrected JSON if needed, or 'CORRECT' if accurate."
            ),
        }],
    )
    # Parse LLM response and return corrected item...
    return corrected_item

4. 混合管道

python
def process_document(
    content: str,
    *,
    llm_client=None,
    confidence_threshold: float = 0.95,
) -> list[ParsedItem]:
    """Full pipeline: regex -> confidence check -> LLM for edge cases."""
    # Step 1: Regex extraction (handles 95-98%)
    items = parse_structured_text(content)

    # Step 2: Confidence scoring
    low_confidence = identify_low_confidence(items, confidence_threshold)

    if not low_confidence or llm_client is None:
        return items

    # Step 3: LLM validation (only for flagged items)
    low_conf_ids = {f.item_id for f in low_confidence}
    result = []
    for item in items:
        if item.id in low_conf_ids:
            result.append(validate_with_llm(item, content, llm_client))
        else:
            result.append(item)

    return result

实际指标

来自一个生产中的测验解析管道(410 个项目):

指标值
正则表达式成功率98.0%
低置信度项目8 (2.0%)
所需 LLM 调用次数~5
相比全 LLM 的成本节省~95%
测试覆盖率93%

最佳实践

  • 从正则表达式开始 — 即使不完美的正则表达式也能提供一个改进的基线
  • 使用置信度评分 来以编程方式识别需要 LLM 帮助的内容
  • 使用最便宜的 LLM 进行验证(Haiku 类模型已足够)
  • 切勿修改 已解析的项 — 从清理/验证步骤返回新实例
  • TDD 效果很好 用于解析器 — 首先为已知模式编写测试,然后是边缘情况
  • 记录指标(正则表达式成功率、LLM 调用次数)以跟踪管道健康状况

应避免的反模式

  • 当正则表达式能处理 95% 以上的情况时,将所有文本发送给 LLM(昂贵且缓慢)
  • 对自由格式、高度可变的文本使用正则表达式(LLM 在此处更合适)
  • 跳过置信度评分,希望正则表达式“能正常工作”
  • 在清理/验证步骤中修改已解析的对象
  • 不测试边缘情况(格式错误的输入、缺失字段、编码问题)

适用场景

  • 测验/考试题目解析
  • 表单数据提取
  • 发票/收据处理
  • 文档结构解析(标题、章节、表格)
  • 任何具有重复模式且成本重要的结构化文本

Frequently asked questions

What does the Regex Vs Llm Structured Text AI skill do?

选择在解析结构化文本时使用正则表达式还是大型语言模型的决策框架——从正则表达式开始,仅在低置信度的边缘情况下添加大型语言模型。

Why use Regex Vs Llm Structured Text on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Regex Vs Llm Structured Text is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Regex Vs Llm Structured Text in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/xu-xiang/everything-claude-code-zh/tree/main/docs/zh-CN/skills/regex-vs-llm-structured-text. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Regex Vs Llm Structured Text?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Regex Vs Llm Structured Text?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Regex Vs Llm Structured Text with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Regex Vs Llm Structured Text AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by xu-xiang under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
