wiki-ingest

wiki-ingest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tboome33/obsidian-mcp-router. It costs 121 tokens per session (9,858 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that reads a file, web page, or pasted text and turns its important ideas and named things into linked wiki pages. It also updates the wiki's catalogue, activity log, and recent-information list.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add articles, URLs, local files, or pasted text to an existing wiki without creating duplicate entries when the same source is processed again.
Why use it?
Adding research to a wiki by hand is slow and can leave pages disconnected from the rest of the knowledge base. This provides a repeatable way to file and cross-reference new material.

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

wiki-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 466 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

wiki-ingest

Take a source (URL, local file path, or pasted text) and do the structured work of: pulling it in, identifying what's worth keeping, writing wiki pages for the new entities/concepts, and updating the relevant cross-references — all idempotently so re-ingesting the same source doesn't duplicate.

Pre-conditions

  1. The target vault has a wiki/ folder with catalog.md, journal.md, hot.md. If not, run the wiki skill first.
  2. The vault is online (call list_vaults).
  3. You have one of: a URL, a file path on disk, or text the user pasted.

When to use

  • "ingest this URL" / "absorb this article"
  • The user pastes a long block of text and says "file this"
  • Batch mode: "ingest all of these" with multiple sources → fan out via the wiki-ingest sub-agent (in agents/wiki-ingest.md).

When NOT to use

  • The user wants a quick answer without filing → just answer, don't ingest.
  • The source is already filed (check wiki-meta/catalog.md for the title or URL) → tell them; offer to refresh instead.
  • The "source" is the current conversation → use the save skill instead.

Steps

1. Acquire the source content

  • URL: use the defuddle skill (v0.13.2+) — it returns {markdown, metadata} with deterministic title/author/published/image/site/lang/description/wordCount/readingMinutes from Schema.org/OG/meta tags. If you bypass defuddle for some reason (e.g. URL is already clean markdown), call mcp__obsidian-router__extract_page_metadata({url}) directly to get the metadata block — it's the input to step 4's deterministic frontmatter.
  • Local file: prefer mcp__obsidian-router__get_file if the file is inside a vault; else Read. No metadata block in this case — fall back to inference.
  • Pasted text: use what the user gave you. No metadata block — fall back to inference.

If acquisition fails, surface the error and stop. Don't ingest a partial source.

1.5 Hash-based freshness check (v0.15.0+, roadmap item #4)

Before processing the acquired content further, check whether this source has been ingested before with the exact same content. This is a fast no-op detector that saves a fetch+parse+LLM round-trip when the user re-runs wiki-ingest <url> on a source that hasn't evolved.

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.
