ingest

ingest is a skill for Claude Code from rjroy/vibe-garden. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,085 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge-extraction procedure that turns notes and work documents into searchable Markdown pages in a project wiki. It reads Markdown and HTML files from the .lore directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract lasting knowledge from retrospectives, specifications, plans, research, and notes.
Why use it?
It preserves useful decisions, constraints, terminology, and lessons in a form that can be found later instead of leaving them buried in project documents.

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 17d 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ingest

Distill useful project understanding into .lore/reference/. The reference is an aid to future work, not a contract or archive of project pages.

Keep only knowledge that code and tests do not adequately communicate and that materially helps a future change: rationale, real external constraints, relevant failed approaches, domain context, or useful current seams/coupling/refactoring guidance. Do not make a page just to summarize a feature, implementation, or source artifact. No useful candidate is a valid result; report that nothing was added.

Sources

Accept one or more paths from the user. Sources should live under .lore/; warn and skip anything else. For directories, walk supported .md and .html files. Historical brainstorms, designs, intents, research, and retros can suggest candidates. Plans, notes, and tasks (including under .lore/local/) are never reference sources: they may point to where to investigate, but do not lift their execution choices or claims into reference knowledge. If a directory contains no eligible sources, report that and continue.

Treat Markdown and HTML sources as equivalent knowledge inputs:

  • Markdown files use YAML frontmatter when present, followed by Markdown body content.
  • HTML files use <meta name="..."> fields when present, <title> as the title, and visible document body content as the source text. Ignore scripts, styles, and generated chrome that does not carry project knowledge.

Extraction

Read each eligible source in full. Treat it only as a lead, not proof of current behavior or authority over current user direction. For every candidate about current behavior, architecture, constraints, or extension seams, inspect relevant implementation and tests; correct, qualify, or discard claims they do not support. Historical rationale may be retained when useful even if code cannot prove it, but label it as historical rationale rather than current behavior or a mandate. The user's current direction prevails over any old artifact; call out a concrete safety or compatibility consequence when one matters, not documentary noncompliance.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository rjroy/vibe-garden (6 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 2,085 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
