Summary: LlamaIndex published a working draft of the Document Parsing Protocol and a downloadable reference for Claude or ChatGPT. Its sample-page exercise asks users to verify duplicated table values and retained parentheses, exposing parsing choices before downstream automation. The protocol is version 0.1, so broader interoperability remains unproven.
Why it matters: Knowledge workers can install one reference skill, parse the supplied sample page, verify two exact cells and a preserved negative number, then record corrections before trusting parsed documents in search or agent workflows.
