I can assure you this is not a thin wrapper. Even the public repo of the first workable version of it is not a thin wrapper.

You are welcome to try. It is not rocket science, but what I developed would take much effort to reproduce.

I wrote an origin story about how I got started: https://aicentral.substack.com/p/pipeline-to-the-past

It describes some of the added value and lessons learned.

Also, people can look at the Github repo of your prior version and see it's clearly not just 'running it through Claude'.

What I haven't found in either the OP or Github repo is what your background is - software development? astrophysics? paleography? two or three of those? [edit: history of science?] - and what human review is involved. (My apologies if I overlooked anything; I don't have time to read it all!)

Software development. I did work in an astrophysics lab decades ago, as one of my public repos documents.
