# llmwiki-ingest — llmwiki-ingest transforms source files into interconnected wiki pages by extracting entities, concepts, and relationships. It writes source summaries, creates or updates entity and concept pages, cross-links everything, and flags contradictions—all while maintaining a searchable index and activity log. Perfect for building knowledge bases from session transcripts, markdown files, PDFs, and URLs.

## SKILL.md

# llmwiki-ingest

## What this skill does

Takes a source file (or a folder) and turns it into wiki pages following the Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern:

1. Writes a `wiki/sources/<slug>.md` summary
2. Creates/updates entity pages for people, companies, projects, tools, libraries mentioned
3. Creates/updates concept pages for ideas, patterns, decisions discussed
4. Cross-links everything with `[[wikilinks]]`
5. Flags contradictions
6. Updates `wiki/index.md`, `wiki/overview.md`, `wiki/log.md`

## When to use

- User says "ingest this file", "add this to the wiki", "process this into the wiki"
- User runs the `/wiki-ingest` slash command
- User says "sync the wiki" — in that case, the `llmwiki-sync` skill runs the converter first, then invokes this skill for each new file

## Workflow

Follow the **Ingest Workflow** from the repo's `CLAUDE.md` exactly:

1. Read the source file(s) with the Read tool
2. Read `wiki/index.md` and `wiki/overview.md` for context
3. Write `wiki/sources/<slug>.md` using the Source Page Format
4. Update `wiki/index.md` — new entry under `## Sources`
5. Update `wiki/overview.md` if substantial new info
6. Create/update entity pages (`wiki/entities/<TitleCase>.md`)
7. Create/update concept pages (`wiki/concepts/<TitleCase>.md`)
8. Cross-link with `[[wikilinks]]` under `## Connections`
9. Flag contradictions under `## Contradictions`
10. Append to `wiki/log.md`: `## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest | <title>`

## Session-specific rules

When the source is under `raw/sessions/` (a session transcript converted by the converter):

- **Trust the frontmatter** as authoritative (project, started, model, tools_used, etc.)
- **Do not copy the `## Conversation` section verbatim** — use it as raw material to summarise
- **Create a project entity page** at `wiki/entities/<ProjectSlug>.md` with a `## Sessions` list
- **Extract decisions** into `wiki/concepts/` — anything the user explicitly locked
- **Extract tools used** — every entry in `tools_used` is a candidate entity
- **If `is_subagent: true`** — link to the parent session rather than creating a new project entity

## Hard rules

1. `raw/` is immutable. Never modify files there.
2. No silent overwrites. Conflicting claims go under `## Contradictions`.
3. Every page has a `## Connections` section with at least one `[[wikilink]]`.
4. Frontmatter is authoritative. Always populate `title`, `type`, `tags`, `sources`, `last_updated`.
