wiki-ingest
Compile articles, documents, or notes into a structured wiki knowledge base. Use when user says 'ingest to wiki', 'compile to knowledge base', 'update wiki', 'wiki ingest', 'add this to wiki', or invokes /wiki-ingest. Supports single or batch ingest. Triggers: wiki, ingest, knowledge base, compile,

Wiki Ingest — Knowledge Base Compiler
Compile any text content (articles, documents, notes) into structured wiki pages with cross references, building a searchable, interconnected knowledge network.
IRON LAW: One wiki page = one knowledge entity. Never cram multiple concepts into one page.
Wiki Directory Structure
Wiki defaults to wiki/ under the current project root. User may specify a different path.
Workflow
1. Confirm Input
Accept user specified content source:
Pasted text directly
File path(s) (md, txt, pdf, etc.)
Directory path (batch processing)
If user doesn't specify a wiki path, use wiki/ . Create the directory if it doesn't exist.
2. Check Existing Wiki
Read wiki/index.md (if exists) to understand existing pages and avoid duplicates.
3. Extract Knowledge Entities
Extract from content:
Concepts ( concepts/ ): Abstract ideas, terminology, theories
Products ( products/ ): Specific products, tools, services
Patterns ( patterns/ ): Engineering patterns, design decisions, methodologies
Comparisons ( comparisons/ ): Cross product or cross approach analysis
Extraction threshold: An entity deserves its own page only if it would be referenced by other pages.
4. Create or Update Pages
Each entity maps to one wiki page.
→ Load [references/page templates.md](references/page templates.md) for page templates.
Rules:
If page already exists → update it, append new information, don't overwrite existing content
Keep the one line definition stable unless the new content provides a clearly better one
Prioritize updating "Sources" and "Related Pages" sections
5. Update Cross References
Check all existing wiki pages. If new content involves concepts referenced in other pages:
Update their Related Pages list
Update their Sources list
Supplement new information in their detail sections
6. Update index.md
Add new page entries to wiki/index.md , organized by category.
7. Append to log.md
Append to wiki/log.md :
8. Report Results
Tell user: what pages were created, what pages were updated, what new cross references were established.
File Naming
All lowercase, hyphen separated: agent loop.md , kv cache.md
Name by entity, not by number
Cross Reference Format
Use [[category/page name]] double link format (Obsidian compatible), e.g. [[concepts/agent loop]] , [[products/claude code]]
Always include the category prefix to avoid ambiguity across directories
List all related pages at the bottom of each page
Guidelines
Never create duplicate pages — always check wiki/ first
Don't extract trivial entities — if a concept appears once and won't be referenced elsewhere, skip it
For batch processing: extract all entities first, then create pages and update references in one pass to avoid inconsistent intermediate states
Always update index.md and log.md after every ingest
