ingest-patterns

ingest-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from fulminate-io/knowledge-mcp. It costs 115 tokens per session (3,574 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for collecting design patterns from books, catalogs, or reference websites into a searchable library. Design patterns are reusable ways to solve common software-design problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or updating a library of design patterns from authoritative sources, with optional detailed examples and references.
Why use it?
It separates source collection, pattern extraction, saving repeatable extraction recipes, and turning selected results into detailed entries.

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-patterns 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 319 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ingest patterns: $ARGUMENTS

For universal orchestration discipline reference /orchestrate. This skill is pattern-ingestion-specific.

Four stages, in order:

  1. Collect — pull the source into a raw graph once. The raw graph is a cached structured document: every later stage replays it at zero network cost, so iterating costs nothing but your own time.
  2. Extract — ZERO LLM SPEND, and that is the whole point of this stage. Run inline recipe bodies against the raw graph and read the rows back; use the ranked text read to find which sections even mention what you are after. Nothing is written and nothing is summarized by a model.
  3. Freeze — when an extraction is worth re-running (a new edition, a second source of the same shape), SAVE the same body as a recipe. Freezing is a save, not a rewrite: an inline extract and a saved recipe are one mechanism with two ways to invoke it.
  4. Hydrate — the only stage that spends tokens. The pattern-ingester agent turns a CHOSEN SLICE of the extraction into full pattern nodes: original prose, applies-when and avoid-when use cases, working examples, primary references. Roughly 50k output tokens per pattern.

The shape of the cost is why the order matters. Collect and extract are cheap and repeatable, so do your deciding there; hydrate is expensive and therefore runs on what you decided, not on everything the source contains.

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.

ingest-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository fulminate-io/knowledge-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 3,574 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
