Ingest sources into a persistent, LLM-maintained wiki following the LLM Wiki pattern. Drop an article, paper, or note into raw/ (or give a URL) and the agent reads it fully, discusses takeaways with you, writes a summary page, updates every entity and concept page it touches, and appends to the wiki log. Knowledge compounds: cross-references accumulate and contradictions get flagged instead of silently overwritten. This skill also bootstraps the wiki layout on first run.
Use when:
- “Ingest this”
- “Add this source to the wiki”
- “File this article/paper/note”
- “Process this source”
- “Add this to the knowledge base”
- “I just added X to raw/”
What it does:
- Bootstrap: reads existing conventions, then creates only missing wiki files and directories. For a new wiki with no schema, it adds a CLAUDE.md schema skeleton; existing instruction files and wiki content are preserved
- One source at a time by default (takeaways discussed with you first); batch mode when you explicitly ask
- Writes
wiki/sources/<slug>.mdwith key claims, dates, and reliability notes, citing the raw file - Updates affected entity/concept pages, creating new pages for significant topics and flagging contradictions without silently overwriting claims
- Keeps
wiki/index.md(one line per page) andwiki/log.mdcurrent on every ingest
Usage
Invoke the skill by name, or let a supporting agent select it for a relevant request. Automatic activation depends on the host agent and its configuration.
Examples:
Ingest raw/attention-is-all-you-need.mdI just added three papers to raw/ — batch-ingest them with less supervisionFile this article into the wiki: https://example.com/sparse-attentionHow it works
- Locates the wiki using your path and schema before default-path discovery. Saves URL sources as new snapshots in
raw/, recording the URL and retrieval date; existing raw files are never overwritten - Reads it fully, viewing referenced images separately when they matter
- Discusses key takeaways and planned page updates with you before writing
- Writes the source summary page, updates entity/concept pages and, when the big picture changes,
wiki/overview.md, refresheswiki/index.md, and appends a## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest | <Title>entry towiki/log.md
Your wiki’s own CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md schema overrides the default layout and formats — the defaults apply only until you and the agent co-evolve something better.
Sibling skills
This skill is one of three interoperating wiki skills in this collection:
- wiki-query — answers questions from the wiki with citations; files valuable answers back as
wiki/analyses/pages - wiki-lint — health-checks the wiki: contradictions, stale claims, orphan pages, missing concepts
