Klara offline knowledge packs

Small SQLite files of Kreyòl information from verified publishers. The Klara mobile app (jsbeaudry/kreyol-offline) downloads them on request. When a question matches a passage, Klara gives that passage to its small language model to answer from, and shows the source under the answer.

Left out on purpose

• MedlinePlus documents by non-federal publishers (American Cancer Society, hospitals, state agencies). They are not free to redistribute.
• fema.gov/ht and ssa.gov pages. Their robots.txt disallows automated access.
• USCIS pages about programs that changed (2019 TPS litigation, CHNV parole). Outdated immigration guidance can mislead.
• Haitian sites not reachable by a polite crawler:
  • oni.gouv.ht blocks automated access (HTTP 465). The ONI part of the pack is the 2005 CIN decree.
  • Presidency and MENFP are JavaScript apps. MENFP's public services were taken from its home page by hand.
  • DINEPA had no usable text.
• Haitian news and press releases were dropped by the summarizer, which answers SKIP when a text holds nothing useful to a citizen.
• FEMA "digital toolkit" pages. They are social-media post copy, not guidance.

Format

Every pack has the same layout (packlib.py):

• meta(key, value): id, name, domain, source, publisher, license, mode (title, search or both), cue, built.
• docs(id, title, url, publisher).
• passages(id, doc_id, heading, text), with an FTS5 index passages_fts(heading, text) (unicode61, diacritics removed).
• titles(norm, passage_id, proper, prio): names a question can mention, in lowercase without accents.

Build

The scripts are in this repository. They crawl politely (crawl.py): they read robots.txt, send an identifying User-Agent, wait 2 s between requests and cache every page.
