gnn-template-init

name: gnn-template-init description: GNN pipeline template and initialization system. Use when creating new pipeline steps, bootstrapping project structure, or understanding the thin orchestrator pattern for GNN module development.

GNN Template & Initialization (Step 0)

Purpose

Initializes the pipeline environment and provides the canonical template for creating new pipeline steps. This is the entry point for the 25-step GNN pipeline.

Key Commands

# Run template initialization
python src/0_template.py --target-dir input/gnn_files --output-dir output --verbose

# Use as part of full pipeline
python src/main.py --only-steps 0 --verbose

API

from template import (
    process_template_standardized, process_single_file,
    validate_file, generate_correlation_id,
    safe_template_execution, demonstrate_utility_patterns,
    get_version_info
)

# Process template step (used by pipeline)
result = process_template_standardized(target_dir, output_dir, logger)

# Process a single file
result = process_single_file(file_path, output_dir, logger)

# Validate a file
is_valid = validate_file(file_path)

# Generate correlation ID for tracing
corr_id = generate_correlation_id()

Key Exports

• process_template_standardized — main pipeline processing function
• process_single_file — process individual file
• validate_file — file validation
• generate_correlation_id — unique ID for pipeline tracing
• safe_template_execution — execution with error handling
• get_version_info — module version metadata

Thin Orchestrator Pattern

# N_module.py — Thin orchestrator (<150 lines)
from utils.pipeline_template import create_standardized_pipeline_script
run_script = create_standardized_pipeline_script("N_module.py", process_func, "Description")

• Orchestrators handle ONLY: arg parsing, logging, output dirs, delegation
• ALL domain logic lives in src/module/processor.py
• Exit codes: 0=success, 1=error, 2=success with warnings/skipped

MCP Tools

This module registers tools with the GNN MCP server (see mcp.py):

• template.get_info
• template.process_directory
• template.process_file
