wiki-ingest
Use when an operation issue asks to ingest a captured `raw/` source into the LLM Wiki, or the user says "ingest <slug>". Create durable source, entity, concept, synthesis, index, and log pages; use paperclip-distill for Paperclip bundles.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a structured workflow for ingesting and interlinking wiki knowledge from raw sources, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Wiki Ingest Turn one source document into durable, interlinked wiki knowledge. Inputs An operation issue with operationType: "ingest" assigned to you. A raw/ path mentioned in the issue body (always treat raw/ as immutable). The operation issue's target wikiId, spaceSlug, and space root (otherwise stop and surface the missing config to the requester). Workflow 1. Read context first. Read the target space's AGENTS.md for page conventions (filenames, frontmatter, voice, citation style). Read the target space's wiki/index.md to see what already exists. Read the target space's last ~20 entries of wiki/log.md to avoid re-ingesting a source or re-resolving a contradiction someone else already filed. 2. Read the source end to end with wikireadsource, passing the operation issue's wikiId and spaceSlug. Do not skim. Note the source's structure, claims, dates, and anything that contradicts existing pages. 3. Plan, then confirm — but only if the user is in the loop. If the operation came from a routine (no live user), proceed. If a user is asking interactively, summarise the 3–5 takeaways you intend to file and ask which to emphasise before writing. 4. Write the source page at wiki/sources/<slug>.md — ~300–800 words, frontmatter per the wiki schema, neutral voice, key claims with quoted excerpts where they carry weight. The source page is the canonical citation target for everything else this skill writes. 5. Update or create downstream pages in entities/, concepts/, and synthesis/. A typical ingest touches 5–15 pages; resist creating pages for ideas that only appear once. 6. Wire the cross-links. Every claim that comes from the source cites it as (see [[wiki/sources/<slug>]]). Every entity / concept mentioned by name on more than one page links to its dedicated page. 7. Flag contradictions; do not silently overwrite. …
