Dataset Tools plugin
mere-dataset-tools prepares local image datasets for LoRA workflows with captions, optional OCR sidecars, trigger tokens, focus guidance, and a contact sheet.
Install and caption
bash
mere.run plugin install mere-dataset-tools --yes
mere-dataset-tools doctor

--input ./dataset \
--output-dir ./caption-out \
--trigger-token STYLE \
--focus "material and silhouette" \
--contact-sheetTo extract visible text into sidecars, add --ocr. Use --prompt to supply caption guidance and repeat --focus for multiple priorities.

--input ./dataset \
--output-dir ./caption-out \
--trigger-token STYLE \
--run-id dataset-001

Inspect the captions and contact sheet before training. A prepared paired dataset can feed the Klein LoRA recipe through RunPod Runner.
