ingest

ingest is a skill for Claude Code from skyllwt/AutoSci. It costs 69 tokens per session (5,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A paper-ingestion workflow for a wiki that turns a research paper into linked pages for the paper, its concepts, methods, and people.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with an arXiv URL, local TeX source, or PDF to create wiki entities and cross-references. It supports research papers, including papers hosted on arXiv, a research-paper website.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work of adding a paper and connecting its related knowledge in the wiki.

About the project

AutoSci is an AI research platform organized around a wiki, with an agent that supports stages of scientific work such as reading, experimentation, writing, and retaining knowledge across projects. It is for people building or using AI-assisted research workflows, with Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode adaptations available. The catalogue add-ons extend those agent-specific workflows.

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 6d 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 — 300 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ingest

Turn one paper into a fully wired set of wiki pages. Emit well-formed entities and correct cross-references; leave semantic audits (backlink symmetry, dangling nodes, field-value policing) for /check.

Use these local references on demand:

  • references/pdf-preprocessing.md — arXiv-ID recovery, tex fetching, prepare-paper handoff for direct PDF drops
  • references/dedup-policy.md — merge-vs-create decision rule for concepts and methods, and the line that separates /ingest shape checks from /check semantic audits
  • references/cross-references.md — forward/reverse link matrix and paper-to-paper edge-type selection
  • references/init-mode.md — manifest-driven handoff from /init and parallel-safety conventions
  • references/error-handling.md — source parse, API, and slug-collision fallbacks

Open runtime/schema/entities.yaml for frontmatter field definitions and runtime/templates/{kind}.md.tmpl for body section structure. For index.md, log.md, and graph/ shapes, see runtime/schema/conventions.yaml and runtime/schema/edges.yaml.

Inputs

  • source: one of — arXiv URL (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685), local .tex, local .pdf, or a canonical_ingest_path handed off by /init via .checkpoints/init-sources.json(see references/init-mode.md)
  • --discover (optional, default off): after the final report, invoke /discover --anchor <this-paper's-arxiv-id> and append the shortlist to the report as "Related papers you may want to ingest next". Never auto-ingests the suggestions. Skipped automatically in INIT MODE. Treat this as a user-owned flag: do not set it based on repo state.
  • --visualize (optional, default off): after Step 7 rebuild, regenerate Canvas visualization artifacts via tools/visualize.py generate-canvas. Skipped automatically in INIT MODE — the parent /init handles visualization once at fan-in. Treat this as a user-owned flag: do not set it based on repo state. (The interactive web Graph view lives in the SPA at app/modules/graph.js, served by tools/serve.py; it reads wiki/graph/ live and needs no per-ingest regeneration.)

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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 skyllwt/AutoSci (1,660 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 5,345 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
