idea-ingest skillA
idea-ingest is agent-read markdown (skill) from garrytan/gbrain: Ingest links, articles, tweets, and ideas into the brain. Fetch content, save to brain with analysis, create author people page, and cross-link. Use when the user shares a link or says "read this", "save this", "think about this"..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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 gets a people page (MANDATORY for anyone whose thinking is worth ingesting) - 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`) - `cross_links`: list of all cross-links created - `status`: `ingested` | `updated` | `fetch_failed` > **Convention:** See `skills/conventions/quality.md` for Iron Law back-linking. Every mention of a person or company with a brain page MUST create a back-link. Format: `- **YYYY-MM-DD** | Referenced in [page title](path) — brief context` ## Phases …
