sign-ingest

sign-ingest is a skill for Claude Code from sign-protocol/sign-tools. It costs 0 tokens per session (393 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for converting source documents into SIGN using the repository's sign-ingest command-line tool. SIGN is a structured representation of document meaning and relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select a document type, choose an ontology when needed, run the conversion, inspect validation errors, and check whether important reasoning or definitions were lost.
Why use it?
It helps preserve the document's meaning and ensures the converted output passes validation instead of hiding errors through manual edits.

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

sign-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 9d 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.

What it actually says

sign-ingest

Use this skill when an operator asks Claude Code to convert source documents into SIGN using this repository's sign-ingest CLI.

Workflow

  1. Identify the source document and doctype.

    • Use front matter or filename if clear.
    • Ask for the doctype when it is not inferable.
  2. Confirm the ontology config.

    • Use --ontology <path> when the target canon has governed prefixes and predicates.
    • If no ontology is supplied, run in freeform mode and expect @vocab definitions for emitted predicates.
  3. Invoke the CLI:

    sign-ingest convert <input> --doctype <type> --out <path> [--ontology <path>] [--review] [--strict-semantic]
    
  4. Never bypass validation.

    • If validation fails, surface the validator errors verbatim and stop.
    • Do not manually edit SIGN to paper over validator output without operator approval.
  5. Check semantic completeness (non-lossiness).

    • The validator proves the SIGN is well-formed; <id>.semantic.json proves it didn't drop reasoning the prose asserts (dropped normative rules, relationships, or definitions = gaps).
    • Review reported gaps and recover the missing structure into the SIGN.
    • Pass --strict-semantic when authoring/publishing canon (e.g. via canon-author): a high-severity gap then FAILS the conversion instead of warning.
  6. Walk the operator through:

    • <id>.drop.json
    • <id>.prov.json
    • <id>.semantic.json
    • optional <id>.review.json

Doctypes

Use policy, standard, adr, plan, glossary, or reference.

See references/doctype-cheatsheet.md and references/ontology-config-format.md.

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.

sign-ingest is a skill published in the GitHub repository sign-protocol/sign-tools (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 393 tokens. 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.
