AI Topic Tagging

Tag content against a controlled vocabulary instead of letting labels multiply.

What it adds

Automatic assignment of topics from a managed tag catalogue, applied as suggestions with an approval path for new terms.

What your agent is told to do

5
  1. 1

    Treat the tag catalogue as the authority. Suggested tags must resolve to existing terms, and anything else goes into a proposal queue where an administrator accepts, renames, or rejects it.

  2. 2

    Cap the number of tags per item and apply a relevance threshold, so only topics genuinely central to the content are applied. Three accurate tags beat twelve that are technically defensible.

  3. 3

    Apply tags as suggestions the user can accept or dismiss on first rollout, and record acceptance rates before considering automatic application anywhere.

  4. 4

    Store the catalogue version with each tagging run and give administrators a way to re-tag affected content when terms are merged, renamed, or retired, without re-tagging the entire corpus.

  5. 5

    Where this sits beside AI Intent Detection, keep the two catalogues separate: intents describe what someone wants done and topics describe what the content is about. Merging them produces a vocabulary that serves neither.

Edge cases it handles

8
  • New terms must never be created by the model directly. Route every unmatched suggestion to an approval queue, because an auto-growing vocabulary becomes unusable within weeks and cannot be un-grown.
  • Tagging everything a document mentions in passing makes tags useless for filtering. Enforce a per-item ceiling and a relevance threshold, and prefer omission to a weak match.
  • Content spanning several topics should receive several tags, and content matching nothing should receive none. An untagged item is a valid outcome and must not be forced into the nearest available term.
  • When terms are merged, renamed, or retired, existing assignments must be migrated or invalidated. Stale tags pointing at removed terms should disappear from filters rather than render as blanks.
  • Private, restricted, or draft content must not shape tags visible on public surfaces, and tag counts on public pages must not reveal the existence of records the viewer cannot see.
  • Re-running the tagger must be idempotent for unchanged content. Repeated runs must not accumulate near-duplicate tags or overwrite tags a person applied by hand.
  • Human-applied tags outrank model-applied ones. Record which is which and never let a later automatic run remove a tag a user chose.
  • When the model is unavailable, tagging is skipped and the item is queued for a later pass. Publishing must never block on the tagger.

Definition of done

8
  • Every applied tag exists in the controlled catalogue at the recorded version.
  • Unmatched suggestions enter an approval queue and are never created automatically.
  • A per-item tag ceiling and relevance threshold are enforced, and zero tags is a supported result.
  • Catalogue changes trigger targeted re-tagging rather than a full corpus pass.
  • Manual tags are distinguished from automatic ones and are never removed by a later run.
  • Restricted content does not influence tags or counts on surfaces the viewer cannot access.
  • The feature matches the existing design system.
  • No existing functionality is broken.

    Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.

Works with your stack

These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
