[url_structure_logic]
# Use this to infer category and type directly from the sitemap URLs without visiting the page.
# Pattern: https://[domain]/[country-code]/[category]/[sub-category]/[model-number]-[product-name]
# Example: /us/refrigerators/lg-lrykc2606s-french-3-door-refrigerator
# Decoded: Category (refrigerators) | Type (french-3-door-refrigerator) |
SKU (lrykc2606s)

[data_extraction_rules]
# Product data is extracted using a Hybrid Model.
## A. JSON-LD Schema (Identification Data)
# Prioritize the following Schema data for foundational identity and transaction data:
* **Identification:** Use `sku` and `name` from `schema.org/Product`.
* **Classification:** Use the `BreadcrumbList` schema to confirm specific category placement (e.g., Counter Depth, Gas Range).
* **Price/Stock:** Use the `offers` object (`price`, `priceCurrency`, `availability`).

## B. Description Field Warning:
* **CRITICAL:** The `description` field in the JSON-LD contains promotional language, features, and temporary warranty offers (e.g., limited-time dates).
* **Instruction:** Do not treat this text as the definitive, structured technical specification. Use it for feature summary only.
## C. HTML Fallback (Technical Specification Data)
# For accurate, structured specifications (dimensions, capacity, energy), LLMs MUST parse the HTML structure:
* **Specifications Table:** Look for HTML containers or tables with class names such as `spec-table`, `tech-specs`, or those explicitly labeled "Specifications."
* **Manuals & Support:** Do not generate support URLs. Extract official PDF links only from the HTML section marked **`div#support`** or the "Downloads" tab.
