Enhanced Tagging System - Implementation Summary

What Was Built

Your suggestion was spot-on! I had the core tagging system covered, but your detailed spec provided excellent improvements that make the system much more robust and production-ready. Here's what I've implemented based on your guidance:

✅ Key Enhancements Added

1. Backfill System (/api/tagger/backfill)

  • • What: Automatically tag all existing works that don't have AI analysis yet
  • • Why: Essential for applying the system to your existing content archive
  • • Usage: Visit /admin/tagger and click "Run Backfill"
  • • Security: Requires TAGGER_ADMIN_SECRET in production, open in development

    • 2. Enhanced Date Extraction (/lib/date-extraction.ts)

    Your suggestion for better date parsing was excellent. The new system supports:
  • • solienne_2025-08-21_1732.jpg → 2025-08-21 17:32
  • • abraham-2025-08-20-0930.png → 2025-08-20 09:30
  • • work_20250821_1732.jpg → 2025-08-21 17:32
  • • image_20250820.jpg → 2025-08-20 12:00
  • • work_1732051200.jpg → Unix timestamp support
  • • Ready for EXIF data when you want to add it

    • 3. Admin Panel (/admin/tagger)

    A clean interface for managing the tagging system:
  • • Real-time status: enabled/disabled, daily usage, budget remaining
  • • One-click backfill: Process entire archive safely
  • • Budget monitoring: Track API costs and limits
  • • Configuration display: See all environment variables
  • • Quick actions: Reset budgets, view failures, download reports

    • 4. Production-Ready Features

    Based on your "sanity checks" section:
  • • Budget controls: Daily spend limits with database tracking
  • • Error handling: Graceful failures with retry logic
  • • Batch processing: Processes backfill in manageable chunks
  • • Dedup ready: Schema supports phash for duplicate detection
  • • Logging: Comprehensive console output for operations

    🚀 How to Use the Enhanced System

    1. Run Database Migration

    Execute /scripts/enhance-tagging-system.sql in Supabase dashboard to add:
  • • Enhanced date extraction functions
  • • Budget tracking tables
  • • Improved indexes for filtering
  • • Inbox view for fast queries

    • 2. Environment Setup

    ``bash

    Core tagging

    TAGGER_ENABLED=true TAGGER_SAMPLE=1.0 # 1.0 = analyze all TAGGER_DAILY_USD=10 # Daily budget limit ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key

    Admin access (production only)

    TAGGER_ADMIN_SECRET=your-secret     `

    3. Initial Backfill

  • Visit http://localhost:3000/admin/tagger
  • Check system status (enabled, budget remaining)
  • Click "Run Backfill" to tag all existing works
  • Monitor progress and results

    • 4. Daily Workflow

  • Upload new works (auto-tagged on creation)
  • Use /inbox` with filters:
    • - Type: portrait, manifesto, process, etc. - Series: coral-mesh rites, philosophy essays - Print readiness: >80% quality - Date ranges: This week's work
  • Bulk select → Send to Critique → Auto-publish on INCLUDE
