At a glance

Upload a file (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB, image) or URL to the Knowledge base.

  • Works in 5 steps: Validate connection + space → Resolve file → Multipart upload → …
  • Async classification
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, Arguments, Workflow and Output, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Knowledge Ingest is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Upload a file (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB, image) or URL to the Knowledge base. Triggers Marker parsing, chunking, embedding, and async classification. Use when the user says 'index this PDF', 'add this URL to the knowledge base', 'upload these files to Academy', or pastes a file path/URL with ingestion intent.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Knowledge bases, Embeddings and Word documents. It works with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.

When your agent uses it

  • Async classification
  • The user says index this PDF
  • Add this URL to the knowledge base
  • Upload these files to Academy

Example prompts

  • “index this PDF”
  • “add this URL to the knowledge base”
  • “upload these files to Academy”
  • “/knowledge-ingest”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate connection + space
  2. Resolve file
  3. Multipart upload
  4. Poll status
  5. Fetch classification (non-blocking)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Knowledge Ingest loads about 922 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~922

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 217 words (~922 tokens).

“Group: Ingestion. Upload + automatic classification via pipeline parse → chunk → embed → enqueue classify.”
