/wiki-ingest
Ingest a new source into the LLM Wiki. This is the most-used command.
The flow: read the source → discuss TL;DR and key claims with you → write a source summary page → update every relevant entity and concept page → flag contradictions → update index.md → append to log.md.
A typical ingest touches 5-15 wiki pages. You (the user) are in the loop: the ingestor proposes changes and waits for your confirmation before writing.
Usage
/wiki-ingest <path>
/wiki-ingest raw/papers/monosemanticity.pdf
/wiki-ingest raw/articles/2026-04-01-interpretability-post.mdWhat happens
1. Prep — runs engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/ingest_source.py to get title, preview, and suggested summary path
2. Read — reads the source directly
3. Discuss — reports TL;DR, key claims, which pages will be touched, any contradictions
4. Confirm — waits for your go-ahead (or redirects)
5. Write — creates the source summary, updates 5-15 pages, flags contradictions
6. Index — runs engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/update_index.py or edits wiki/index.md inline
7. Log — runs engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/append_log.py --op ingest --title "<title>"
8. Report — bulleted wikilinks to every touched page
Sub-agent
This command dispatches the wiki-ingestor sub-agent for the heavy lifting. See agents/wiki-ingestor.md.
Scripts
engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/ingest_source.py— source prep (metadata + preview)
engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/update_index.py— regenerate index
engineering/llm-wiki/skills/llm-wiki/scripts/append_log.py— log the ingest
Rules
- The source must be inside the vault's
raw/layer. If it isn't, the command will ask you to move it first.
raw/is immutable — the ingestor reads only.
- If a summary page already exists, the ingestor enters merge mode and appends a re-ingest section.
