idea-ingest

idea-ingest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyberbird2048/gbrainmcp-clean. It costs 60 tokens per session (827 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for saving links, articles, posts, and ideas into a personal knowledge base called a brain. It fetches the source, analyzes it, creates pages for authors, preserves the original material, and links related pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ingest shared links, record analysis, create author and entity pages, add two-way links, upload raw sources, and cite supporting facts.
Why use it?
It turns scattered reading into organized, traceable notes rather than leaving sources and ideas disconnected. Source citations and preserved originals help verify where facts came from.

Token cost

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

idea-ingest 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 11d ago.

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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Idea Ingest Skill

Filing rule: Read skills/_brain-filing-rules.md before creating any new page.

Contract

This skill guarantees:

  • Every ingested item has a brain page with genuine analysis (not just a summary)
  • The author gets a people page (MANDATORY for anyone whose thinking is worth ingesting)
  • Cross-links created bidirectionally (source ↔ author, source ↔ mentioned entities)
  • Raw source preserved for provenance via gbrain files upload-raw
  • Every fact has an inline [Source: ...] citation
  • Filing follows primary subject rules (not format-based)

Convention: See skills/conventions/quality.md for Iron Law back-linking.

Every mention of a person or company with a brain page MUST create a back-link. Format: - **YYYY-MM-DD** | Referenced in [page title](path) — brief context

Phases

  1. Fetch the content. Use appropriate tools for the content type (web fetch for articles, API for tweets, PDF reader for documents).

  2. Upload raw source. Save the fetched content for provenance: gbrain files upload-raw <file> --page <slug>

  3. Identify the author — MANDATORY people page. Anyone whose thinking is worth ingesting is worth tracking.

    • Search brain for existing author page
    • If no page → CREATE ONE with compiled truth + timeline format
    • If page exists → update timeline with this new publication
    • Cross-link both directions
  4. Save to brain. File by PRIMARY SUBJECT (read skills/_brain-filing-rules.md):

    • About a person → people/
    • About a company → companies/
    • A reusable framework → concepts/
    • Raw data dump → sources/
  5. Analyze for the user. Reply with analysis that connects the content to what the brain knows. Think about:

    • Active projects — is this relevant?
    • Contradictions — does this challenge existing brain knowledge?
    • Connections — does this involve known people/companies?
    • Don't just summarize. Tell the user things they wouldn't have noticed.
  6. Sync. gbrain sync to update the index.
