What it does

Ax Add Ingest Stage is an agent skill from Necmttn/ax. Use when adding a new ingest stage or a new SurrealDB table to the ax graph. Encodes the exact registration gotchas that fail CI if missed.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with SurrealDB. The repository describes itself as: the agent experience layer · observability + memory for AI coding agents (Claude Code + Codex) · local-first, typed, yours. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a new ingest stage
  • A new SurrealDB table to the ax graph

Example prompts

  • “/ax-add-ingest-stage”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Add the DEFINE TABLE ... SCHEMAFULL + fields to packages/schema/src/schema.surql (top-level fields explicit; nested objects → JSON-encoded…
  2. Register it in SCHEMA_TABLES (apps/axctl/src/queries/insights.ts) - a mirror test diffs DEFINE TABLE names vs SCHEMA_TABLES and fails CI…
  3. In a worktree, run bun install so @ax/schema resolves to the worktree copy (not the main tree's symlink) before the mirror test will pass.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fca259c. 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:

    • bun

    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

Ax Add Ingest Stage loads about 513 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~513

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.

Adding an ingest stage / table to ax

Hard-won checklist - each step below has a CI gate that fails if you skip it.

New SurrealDB table

  1. Add the DEFINE TABLE ... SCHEMAFULL + fields to packages/schema/src/schema.surql (top-level fields explicit; nested objects → JSON-encoded string; datetimes via JS Date).
  2. Register it in SCHEMA_TABLES (apps/axctl/src/queries/insights.ts) - a mirror test diffs DEFINE TABLE names vs SCHEMA_TABLES and fails CI if missing.
  3. In a worktree, run bun install so @ax/schema resolves to the worktree copy (not the main tree's symlink) before the mirror test will pass.

New derive-tagged ingest stage

  1. Co-locate the StageDef at the bottom of the stage file (mirror apps/axctl/src/ingest/derive-opportunities.ts): export const FooKey = Schema.Literal("foo") + fooStage.
  2. Register in apps/axctl/src/ingest/stage/registry.ts: add the import, add FooKey to the IngestStageKey Schema.Union([...]), add fooStage to ALL_STAGES.
  3. Update apps/axctl/src/cli/effect-cli.test.ts: bump the resolveIngestStages: default runs every stage .toHaveLength(N) by 1, and add your key (sorted) to the --derive-only list. CI fails otherwise.
  4. Isolate failures: wrap the stage body in Effect.catchCause returning a zero-row stat, so a stage error never aborts the surrounding ingest.

New CLI subcommand

Document it in BOTH cli-reference gates or CI fails: docs/cli.md (or README) + apps/site/public/llms.txt (scripts/check-cli-reference.ts), AND a card in apps/site/app/routes/docs/-cli-reference.data.ts (scripts/check-site-cli-reference.test.ts).

Effect v4 beta gotchas

  • Multi-arg Schema.Literal(...) collapses → use Schema.Literals([...]).
  • Schema.Date doesn't JSON round-trip → use Schema.DateFromString.check(Schema.isDateValid()).
