Best use case

wiki-ingest is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Ingest a source file from raw/ into the LLM Wiki — read, discuss, write summary page, update cross-references across 5-15 pages, regenerate index, append to log. Usage /wiki-ingest <path-to-source>

Teams using wiki-ingest should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

# /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.md
```

## What happens

1. **Prep** — runs `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 `scripts/update_index.py` or edits `wiki/index.md` inline
7. **Log** — runs `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/scripts/ingest_source.py` — source prep (metadata + preview)
- `engineering/llm-wiki/scripts/update_index.py` — regenerate index
- `engineering/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.

from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Query the LLM Wiki — reads index.md first, drills into 3-10 relevant pages, synthesizes an answer with inline [[wikilink]] citations, and offers to file the answer back as a new comparison or synthesis page. Usage /wiki-query "<question>"

wiki-log

from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Show recent entries from the LLM Wiki log (wiki/log.md). Uses the standardized

wiki-lint

9958
from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Run a health check on the LLM Wiki vault — mechanical checks (orphans, broken links, stale pages, missing frontmatter, log gap, duplicates) plus semantic checks (contradictions, cross-reference gaps, concepts missing their own page). Outputs a markdown report with suggested actions. Usage /wiki-lint [--stale-days N] [--log-gap-days N]

from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Bootstrap a fresh LLM Wiki vault with the three-layer structure, schema files, and starter templates. Usage /wiki-init <path> --topic "<topic>" [--tool all|claude-code|codex|cursor|antigravity]

llm-wiki

9958
from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Use when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.

cs-wiki-linter

9958
from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Dispatched sub-agent that runs a periodic health check on an LLM Wiki vault. Runs mechanical checks via scripts (orphans, broken links, stale pages, missing frontmatter, duplicate titles, log gaps), does semantic checks (contradictions, stale claims, cross-reference gaps, concepts missing their own page), and produces a markdown report with suggested actions. Spawn weekly, after batch ingests, or when the user says "check the wiki" / "lint my wiki" / "audit the vault".

cs-wiki-librarian

9958
from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Dispatched sub-agent that answers queries against an LLM Wiki vault. Reads index.md first, drills into 3-10 relevant pages across categories, synthesizes an answer with inline [[wikilink]] citations, and offers to file the answer back into the wiki as a new comparison or synthesis page. Spawn when the user asks a substantive question the wiki might answer, says "what does the wiki say about X", "compare A and B across my sources", or wants to explore a topic.

cs-wiki-ingestor

9958
from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Dispatched sub-agent that ingests a new source into an LLM Wiki vault. Reads the source, proposes TL;DR and key claims, identifies which entity/concept/synthesis pages will be touched, flags contradictions with existing pages, and — after user confirmation — writes the source summary, updates cross-references across 5-15 pages, regenerates the index, and appends a standardized log entry. Spawn when the user says "ingest this", "add this paper/article/book to the wiki", or drops a file into raw/.

tc

from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Use when writing, reviewing, or committing code to enforce Karpathy's 4 coding principles — surface assumptions before coding, keep it simple, make surgical changes, define verifiable goals. Triggers on "review my diff", "check complexity", "am I overcomplicating this", "karpathy check", "before I commit", or any code quality concern where the LLM might be overcoding.

karpathy-check

from alirezarezvani/claude-skills

Run Karpathy's 4-principle review on staged changes or the last commit. Checks complexity, diff noise, hidden assumptions, and goal verification. Usage /karpathy-check [--last-commit]
