Ingest: Compile Sources Into the Wiki

Ingest is the compilation step. A new raw source enters the system, and the agent turns it into a source summary, updated concept pages, new links, contradiction records, index updates, and a log entry.

Ingest algorithm

1. Identify the source. Record path, title, author or origin if known, date, source type, and why it was added.
2. Read without editing raw/. Extract falsifiable claims, named entities, definitions, methods, evidence, dates, and uncertainties.
3. Create a source page. Write wiki/sources/source-slug.md as the compact proxy for the raw file.
4. Route through index.md. Decide which existing concept, entity, and synthesis pages must be updated.
5. Preserve and extend. Rewrite target pages so new knowledge integrates with prior content without deleting unresolved history.
6. Record contradictions. Add unresolved conflicts to wiki/contradictions.md instead of smoothing them over.
7. Update navigation. Add or revise index.md entries and append a log.md event.

Ingest raw/papers/example-source.pdf into this LLM Wiki.

Rules:
- Treat raw/ as read-only.
- Create or update exactly one wiki/sources/ page for the source.
- Extract Summary, Key Claims, Evidence, Entities, Connections, and Contradictions.
- Use [[wiki-links]] for related concepts and pages.
- Preserve and extend existing wiki pages; do not erase prior unresolved claims.
- Update wiki/index.md with changed pages and one-sentence summaries.
- Append a dated entry to wiki/log.md.
- End with files changed, contradictions found, and follow-up questions.

# Source title

## Summary
Dense summary in 5-8 sentences.

## Key Claims
- Claim with evidence and page/section pointer when available.

## Connections
- [[concept-name]] - why this source changes the page.

## Contradictions
- Conflict with [[existing-page]] that needs review.

Done means

• The source has a wiki/sources/ page.
• At least one concept, entity, or synthesis page was evaluated for update.
• index.md can route a future query to the new knowledge.
• log.md records the operation, timestamp, and changed files.
• Any uncertainty is visible instead of hidden in fluent prose.
