Individual skill

second-brain-ingest

Turn raw source material in a second-brain vault into linked wiki pages: read the source, split it into concepts and entities, write or update pages, connect them to existing pages, and record the run in the log. Use this skill whenever the user drops a file into raw/, pastes an article, transcript or PDF and asks to add it to the vault, says "ingest this", "add this to my second brain", "process raw", or asks to catch up on unprocessed sources, even if they do not name the ingest command. Do NOT use for answering questions from an existing vault, for linting or repairing pages, or for editing notes the user wrote by hand.

# Ingest a source

An ingest that only writes a summary page produces a vault that grows without
getting smarter. The whole value is in the second half of the job: connecting
the new material to what is already there. A page that lands unlinked is
invisible within a week.

## Core rule

Nothing is ingested until it is linked. Every run ends with the new pages
connected to existing pages in both directions.
