ingest-github from mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter/ingest-github@git:20260722.7893e72Pins git:20260722.7893e72 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when the user says /ingest-github <owner/repo> [--days N], or asks to ingest, capture, sync, pull, mirror, or import a GitHub repo's recent activity (merged PRs, issues, commits) into the vault, second brain, or knowledge graph, or wants repo history queryable by graphify or External Inputs refreshed. Not for opening PRs, creating issues, one-off PR diff reads, or non-GitHub sources (Slack, Notion, email have their own ingest-* connectors).
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
# ingest-github: GitHub-to-vault connector
> **`{SKILL_DIR}`** = this skill's own folder (locally: the directory this SKILL.md lives in; a served brain substitutes the real absolute path before you read this). If a path does not resolve, name the missing file and stop — never guess another location.
Ingests recent GitHub repository activity into the vault as markdown the graphify pipeline can read and the rest of the AI Brain Starter substrate (decision log, session-close cascade, hooks) can act on.
This is the second connector in the ingest-* pattern. Adding the next external source means writing a new normalizer, not a new architecture.
## When to use
- User says `/ingest-github <owner/repo>` (with or without `--days N`)
- User asks to capture, sync, ingest, or pull a GitHub repository into the vault
- User mentions wanting recent PRs, issues, or commits available to the knowledge graph
Do NOT use for:
- Opening pull requests or creating issues (use the GitHub MCP write tools or `gh` CLI directly)
- One-off PR diff reads (use `gh pr view` or the GitHub MCP)
- Non-GitHub sources (Slack, Notion, email get their own connectors)
## How it works
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter/ingest-github@sha256:c30a189ad05a5e80The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.7893e72, 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.
