A library model addition engine adds library models to a library knowledge base by defining a template for a library configuration file that conveys information about each library model, custom inputs and code snippets to facilitate library comparison operations, and education content for the library model. The library configuration file template may be automatically filled with extracted data using an iterative sequence of operations to retrieve, scrape, or extract data to automatically populate data fields in a library configuration file template for validation processing to ensure that the file is in the correct format and satisfies the constraints provided by the library recommendation engine.
