# Teach Imprint From Document

`POST /api/imprints/from-document`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.thinqos.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://app.thinqos.com/api/imprints/from-document`
- Auth: none declared

Teach the Mind from a document already in the caller's folders.

Bridges folder → Mind without a re-upload: the document's already-extracted
text becomes an imprint (a Mind source), reusing the same extraction pipeline
as an uploaded Teach. The document itself stays in the folder unchanged.
Idempotent — re-imprinting identical content returns the existing imprint.

Document visibility is resolved against the CALLER, not the target Mind
(TOS-2424): teaching one of your own documents to an agent you own is the
point of the feature, and the agent generally cannot see your folder.
