What it does

Ingest is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. Route content to specialized ingestion skills. Detects input type and delegates.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

Example prompts

  • “/ingest”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse the source. Extract people, companies, dates, and events from the input.
  2. For each entity mentioned
  3. Append to timeline. Add a timeline entry in inbrain for each event, with date, summary, and source citation.
  4. Create cross-reference links. Link entities in inbrain for every entity pair mentioned together, using the appropriate relationship type.
  5. Back-link all entities. Update EVERY mentioned entity's page with a back-link to this page (Iron Law).
  6. Timeline merge. The same event appears on ALL mentioned entities' timelines. If Alice met Bob at Acme Corp, the event goes on Alice's…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5231990. 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 bash and yaml).

    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

Ingest loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,598 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k

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 1,598 words (~3,175 tokens).

“Ingest meetings, articles, media, documents, and conversations into the brain.”
