ingest

ingest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cynthiajones34/GBrain. It costs 17 tokens per session (2,982 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ingest, MIT.

A content-ingestion skill that identifies incoming meetings, articles, media, documents, and conversations, then sends each to the matching process for storing in a knowledge base.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to file incoming content, add dated source citations, preserve original files, update current information, and connect mentioned entities to their pages.
Why use it?
It keeps different kinds of information organized and preserves where each fact came from. It also keeps references between related people, companies, and pages.

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

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 8d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to ingest — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 312 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ingest Skill

Ingest meetings, articles, media, documents, and conversations into the brain.

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

Contract

  • Every fact written to a brain page carries an inline [Source: ...] citation with date and provenance.
  • Every entity mention creates a back-link from the entity's page to the page mentioning them (Iron Law).
  • Raw sources are preserved for provenance via gbrain files upload-raw with automatic size routing.
  • State sections are rewritten with current best understanding, never appended to.
  • Entity detection fires on every inbound message; notable entities get pages or updates.

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 FROM that entity's page TO the page mentioning them. An unlinked mention is a broken brain. See skills/_brain-filing-rules.md for format.

Citation Requirements (MANDATORY)

Every fact written to a brain page must carry an inline [Source: ...] citation.

  • User's statements: [Source: User, {context}, YYYY-MM-DD]
  • Meeting data: [Source: Meeting "{title}", YYYY-MM-DD]
  • Email/message: [Source: email from {name} re: {subject}, YYYY-MM-DD]
  • Web content: [Source: {publication}, {URL}, YYYY-MM-DD]
  • Social media: [Source: X/@handle, YYYY-MM-DD](URL) (include link)
  • Synthesis: [Source: compiled from {sources}]

Phases

Router note: This skill is a router. For specialized ingestion, see: idea-ingest, media-ingest, meeting-ingestion.

  1. Parse the source. Extract people, companies, dates, and events from the input.
  2. For each entity mentioned:
    • Read the entity's page from gbrain to check if it exists
    • If exists: update compiled_truth (rewrite State section with new info, don't append)
    • If new: check notability gate, then store the page in gbrain with the appropriate type and slug
  3. Append to timeline. Add a timeline entry in gbrain for each event, with date, summary, and source citation.
  4. Create cross-reference links. Link entities in gbrain for every entity pair mentioned together, using the appropriate relationship type.
  5. Back-link all entities. Update EVERY mentioned entity's page with a back-link to this page (Iron Law).
  6. Timeline merge. The same event appears on ALL mentioned entities' timelines. If Alice met Bob at Acme Corp, the event goes on Alice's page, Bob's page, and Acme Corp's page.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
