Slash Command Source

Ingest a new source into the LLM Wiki. This is the most-used command.

The flow: read the source → discuss TL;DR and key claims with you → write a source summary page → update every relevant entity and concept page → flag contradictions → update index.md → append to log.md.

A typical ingest touches 5-15 wiki pages. You (the user) are in the loop: the ingestor proposes changes and waits for your confirmation before writing.

Usage

/wiki-ingest <path>
/wiki-ingest raw/papers/monosemanticity.pdf
/wiki-ingest raw/articles/2026-04-01-interpretability-post.md

What happens

  1. Prep — runs scripts/ingest_source.py to get title, preview, and suggested summary path
  2. Read — reads the source directly
  3. Discuss — reports TL;DR, key claims, which pages will be touched, any contradictions
  4. Confirm — waits for your go-ahead (or redirects)
  5. Write — creates the source summary, updates 5-15 pages, flags contradictions
  6. Index — runs scripts/update_index.py or edits wiki/index.md inline
  7. Log — runs scripts/append_log.py --op ingest --title "<title>"
  8. Report — bulleted wikilinks to every touched page

Sub-agent

This command dispatches the wiki-ingestor sub-agent for the heavy lifting. See agents/wiki-ingestor.md.

Scripts

  • engineering/llm-wiki/scripts/ingest_source.py — source prep (metadata + preview)
  • engineering/llm-wiki/scripts/update_index.py — regenerate index
  • engineering/llm-wiki/scripts/append_log.py — log the ingest

Rules

  • The source must be inside the vault's raw/ layer. If it isn't, the command will ask you to move it first.
  • raw/ is immutable — the ingestor reads only.
  • If a summary page already exists, the ingestor enters merge mode and appends a re-ingest section.
