What it does

Link Ingest is an agent skill from gowtham0992/link. Use when raw files are present, source pages look stale, or a user asks to ingest notes into Link; refresh source-backed wiki pages, propose memories, and validate updates through the CLI without MCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 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 Knowledge Management. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Local personal memory for LLM agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Raw files are present
  • Source pages look stale
  • A user asks to ingest notes into Link
  • Refresh source-backed wiki pages

Example prompts

  • “/link-ingest”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect the ingest plan
  2. If Link reports secret-looking values, unreadable files, or unsafe paths, stop and ask the user to fix or redact them.
  3. Read only the pending raw files named by the ingest plan. Create or update one wiki/sources/... page per raw file, and update existing…
  4. Keep durable memory proposal-only until the user approves it
  5. After writing wiki pages, rebuild generated indexes and validate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cc92f36. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Link Ingest loads about 368 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~368

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.

description
Use when raw files are present, source pages look stale, or a user asks to ingest notes into Link; refresh source-backed wiki pages, propose memories, and validate updates through the CLI without MCP.

Use lnk ingest-status as the source of truth. Load this skill when the user drops files into raw/, mentions new notes/transcripts/docs, or asks what Link should learn next. In a source checkout, replace lnk with python3 link.py. The command tells you which raw files need work and which checks must run next.

  1. Inspect the ingest plan:
    bash
    lnk ingest-status [link-root]
  2. If Link reports secret-looking values, unreadable files, or unsafe paths, stop and ask the user to fix or redact them.
  3. Read only the pending raw files named by the ingest plan. Create or update one wiki/sources/... page per raw file, and update existing concept/entity/exploration/memory pages before creating thin duplicates.
  4. Keep durable memory proposal-only until the user approves it:
    bash
    lnk propose-memories raw/<file> [link-root]
  5. After writing wiki pages, rebuild generated indexes and validate:
    bash
    lnk rebuild-index [link-root]
lnk rebuild-backlinks [link-root]
lnk validate [link-root]
lnk health [link-root]

Do not put raw source contents into chat unless needed for the current ingest task. Preserve source paths and provenance on generated pages.
