Drupal Data Dictionary

Runs the bundled scripts/extractdatadictionary.py against a Drupal config export to produce five Excel workbooks documenting all field definitions.

Output files

Five .xlsx files are generated in the project root (directory containing the sync dir):

• {prefix}-content-types.xlsx
• {prefix}-taxonomy-vocabularies.xlsx
• {prefix}-block-types.xlsx
• {prefix}-media-types.xlsx
• {prefix}-paragraph-types.xlsx

Workflow

1. Gather configuration — before running, ask the user:

- Sync directory: path to the Drupal config export directory, relative to the project root (default: sync) - Output prefix: short identifier used to name the output files (suggest the project/site name, default: az-gov)

1. Locate project root — confirm the sync directory exists at the path given. If the current working directory is not the project root, find it (check parent directories or ask the user).

1. Check dependencies — verify Python packages are available:

``bash python3 -c "import openpyxl, yaml" ` If that fails, install them: `bash pip install openpyxl pyyaml ``

1. Run the script from the project root:

``bash cd /path/to/project/root && python3 {skillbasedir}/scripts/extractdatadictionary.py \ --sync-dir {syncdir} \ --prefix {prefix} ` {skillbase_dir}` is the base directory shown at the top of this skill's context.

1. Report the five generated .xlsx files and their location.
