Wiki Ingest

Process a new source document and integrate its knowledge into the wiki.

Workflow

Step 1: Read the source

Read the full source document from knowledge/. Identify:

• Key entities (people, organizations, concepts, technologies)
• Main claims and findings
• Relationships between entities
• Data points and statistics
• Contradictions with or confirmations of existing knowledge

Step 2: Discuss with the user

Before writing, share a brief summary of key takeaways. Ask:

• What aspects to emphasize?
• Any entities or concepts to prioritize?
• Should this update existing pages or create new ones?

Step 3: Update the wiki

For each significant entity or concept found in the source:

1. Check if a wiki page exists — read memory/wiki/index.md
2. If page exists — read it, integrate new information, update the "Sources" section, update frontmatter updated date and source_count
3. If page doesn't exist — create a new page in memory/wiki/ with proper frontmatter, content, and source citations
4. Update cross-references — add [[wikilinks]] in both directions between related pages

Step 4: Write a source summary page

Create memory/wiki/sources/<source-name>.md with:

• One-paragraph summary
• Key claims extracted
• Entities mentioned (with wikilinks to their pages)
• Date ingested

Step 5: Update index and log

1. Update memory/wiki/index.md — add/update entries for all pages touched
2. Update knowledge/index.yaml — ensure the source is cataloged with tags and priority
3. Append to memory/log.md:
   Copy

   ## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest | Source Title
   - Pages created: [list]
   - Pages updated: [list]
   - Key findings: [1-2 sentences]
   

Example

User drops knowledge/quantum-computing-review-2026.pdf and says "ingest this".

1. Read the paper, identify entities: quantum computing, error correction, IBM, Google, topological qubits
2. Discuss key findings with user
3. Create/update: quantum-computing.md, error-correction.md, ibm.md, google.md
4. Create: sources/quantum-computing-review-2026.md
5. Update index.md with all new/updated pages
6. Append ingest entry to log.md

A single source might touch 5-15 wiki pages. This is normal and expected.
