What it does

Ingest is an agent skill from jackwener/llm-wiki. Ingest source material into an LLM Wiki vault. Use whenever the user invokes /ingest, asks to turn documents, notes, chats, or URLs into durable wiki knowledge, or asks to create or update interconnected wiki pages from source material.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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, covering LLM wikis. The repository describes itself as: Agent-native persistent knowledge management — compile knowledge once, query forever. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Workflow steps

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cd54666. 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 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 689 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~689

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.

name: ingest
description: Ingest source material into an LLM Wiki vault. Use whenever the user invokes `/ingest`, asks to turn documents, notes, chats, or URLs into durable wiki knowledge, or asks to create or update interconnected wiki pages from source material.

Ingest an LLM Wiki source

Turn a source into concise, attributable, interconnected wiki pages. The wiki is the maintained knowledge layer; sources/ is the immutable evidence layer.

Before editing

Locate the vault by finding .llm-wiki/config.toml.
Read wiki-purpose.md, wiki-schema.md, and wiki-agent.md when present. The latter defines vault-specific MUST / MAY / NEVER ingest criteria.
Skip material that the agent policy excludes, contains credentials or personal data, or duplicates existing knowledge.
If the vault is empty, agree with the user on language, page layout, directory structure, and filename conventions before creating pages.
If the material would change established scope, page boundaries, naming, or linking strategy, present the proposed structure before editing. Apply straightforward additions directly.

Workflow

Check wiki/, wiki-log.md, and llm-wiki search for prior ingestion of the source or its topics. Re-ingest only changed or newly useful material.
Copy raw input to sources/YYYY-MM-DD/, preserving its original name. Add a version suffix if needed. Once saved, never edit that copy. Split large chat logs or collections by date or topic before saving.
Extract claims, entities, decisions, open questions, and relationships.
Create or merge focused pages in wiki/. Every page needs the fields required by wiki-schema.md; normally this includes:
yaml
```
---
title: Page Title
description: One-line summary
aliases: [alternate names]
tags: [taxonomy tags]
sources: [YYYY-MM-DD/source.md]
created: YYYY-MM-DD
updated: YYYY-MM-DD
---
```
Bug or issue pages also need machine-readable status: open | resolved | wontfix.
Merge rather than overwrite. When sources conflict, preserve both claims, identify their sources, and flag the conflict rather than silently choosing one.
Add [[wikilinks]] for related entities, including useful not-yet-created pages, and finish each page with a ## Related section.
Append a concise ## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest | … entry to wiki-log.md with pages created or updated.
Run llm-wiki sync after the changes.

Quality bar

Summarize rather than copy source text.
Keep every claim traceable through sources frontmatter.
Keep each page about one topic; split pages that become multi-topic.
Write in the language specified in .llm-wiki/config.toml.
