knowledge-ingest-source

knowledge-ingest-source is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 174 tokens per session (6,464 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A single-source importer for adding one web page, PDF, local document, pasted text, or interview note to a connected knowledge wiki.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a source or interview note, extract its key claims, create the corresponding wiki page, and connect it to the knowledge base.
Why use it?
It lets you save one piece of evidence directly without creating a full multi-step research project, while recording whether it came from the web or a local file.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

knowledge-ingest-source scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 404 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Ingest — Single Source

The standalone single-source surface: deposit ONE source directly into the bound wiki, with no research run (no knowledge-planknowledge-curateknowledge-fetch scaffold, no fetch-manifest.json). A user drops one input — a URL (web page or PDF), a local file (.docx/.html/.txt), pasted text, a local PDF, or a local interview note — into their bound base and it lands as a type: source page (or a type: interview page in wiki/interviews/ for an interview note) carrying pre_extracted_claims:, indexed and backlinked exactly like a research-ingested source. A URL stores via fetch_method: webfetch; every local input stores honestly via fetch_method: direct (the additive non-web method in fetch-cache.py's VALID_FETCH_METHODS) — see Step 1 for why a local source is never stored as a webfetch lie.

The mechanism reuses the research write path byte-for-byte: it populates the shared fetch-cache, then dispatches the source-ingester agent (which reads the cached body via fetch-cache.py fetch, dispatches claim-extractor, and writes the page atomically with its Phase-3 pre-write integrity assertion), then runs the same backlink_audit.py + wiki_index_update.py + config_bump.py post-write lockstep knowledge-ingest Step 4 runs. The source-ingester takes an additive PAGE_TYPE parameter (default source, so a URL / file deposit is byte-identical to the research path; interview for a local interview note → wiki/interviews/). The only single-source-specific work is before the ingester: acquire the source body into the cache — fetching a URL, or normalizing a local file (.docx/.html/.txt via the vendored convert_to_md.py) / reading a local PDF (Read tool) / capturing pasted text, all stored via fetch_method: direct — and dedup the source against existing wiki pages so a collision routes to diff-before-write instead of a blind overwrite.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/inverted-pipeline.md §"Phase 4 — knowledge-ingest" and references/claim-at-ingest.md once if you have not — the claim-shape and write contracts are shared.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
