Ingest links, articles, tweets, and ideas into the brain. Fetch content, save to brain with analysis, credit the author (people page only when they pass the notability gate), and cross-link. Use when the user shares a link or says "read this", "save this", "think about this".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Idea Ingest Skill
> **Filing rule:** Read `skills/_brain-filing-rules.md` before creating any new page.
## Contract
This skill guarantees:
- Every ingested item has a brain page with genuine analysis (not just a summary)
- The author is always credited: back-linked from an existing `people/` page (timeline update),
or inline on the ingested page (`**Author:** {Author}, {role}`) when no page exists. A NEW
`people/` page is created only when the author passes the notability gate AND you have at
least two independent, durable facts about them beyond this one item — never a stub
(`skills/_brain-filing-rules.md` §Notability Gate)
- Cross-links created bidirectionally (source ↔ author, source ↔ mentioned entities)
- Raw source preserved for provenance via `gbrain files upload-raw`
- Every fact has an inline `[Source: ...]` citation
- Filing follows primary subject rules (not format-based)
**Returns** (when invoked by another skill or sub-agent):
- `page_path`: brain page path of the ingested item (e.g., `concepts/flywheel-effects`)
- `author_path`: brain page path of the author (e.g., `people/alice-example`), or `null` when
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/idea-ingest@sha256:863be3660ead12a4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
