Feed and whole-publication ingestion: turn an entire blog, newsletter, or RSS/Atom archive into brain source pages. Covers feed discovery, pagination walking, normalization to a common article shape, canonical-URL dedup, idempotent re-runs, 429 pacing, and empty-husk repair. This is the PUBLICATION-scope skill — a single article URL routes to idea-ingest instead. Per-article enrichment hands off to the brain-ingest-gate skill; public posts only (gated content is skipped, never worked around).
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
# blog-ingest — Feed & Whole-Publication Ingestion > **Convention:** see [conventions/brain-first.md](../conventions/brain-first.md) > for the lookup chain (search → query → get_page → external). Before walking > any feed, check whether the publication is already in the brain. > > **Convention:** see [conventions/test-before-bulk.md](../conventions/test-before-bulk.md) > — every whole-publication run IS a bulk run. Test on 3-5 posts, verify output > exists and is clean, then ramp progressively. No exceptions. > > **Filing rule:** read `skills/_brain-filing-rules.md` before creating any new page. ## What this is The publication-scope layer of content ingestion: given a blog, newsletter, or feed URL, discover the feed, enumerate the archive, and write one clean source page per public post — deduped, paced, and safe to re-run. It is a set of agent procedures, not a code adapter: the agent performs feed discovery, pagination, normalization, and dedup with its ordinary fetch/read/write tools. This skill deliberately stops at the source-page boundary. Writing a source page is step one, not the whole job: per-article enrichment (entity pages, …

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/blog-ingest@sha256:cf33e480a78b85c1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
