Llmwiki Ingest
Ingest one source document (or a folder of them) into the llmwiki. Use when the user drops a new markdown file, PDF, or URL into the wiki and asks you to process it. The user will typically say "ingest this", "add this to the wiki", "process this file into the wiki", or point at a file under `raw/`.

What Llmwiki Ingest is
Llmwiki Ingest is a skill published in the Pratiyush/llm-wiki repository on GitHub, which has about 392 stars. The repository describes itself as: “LLM-powered knowledge base from your Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot, Cursor & Gemini sessions. Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern — implemented and shipped.”
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: frontmatter with a name and a description, followed by instructions Claude follows. Claude loads a skill automatically when a task matches its description, and you can also run it directly with a slash and its name.
Skills work in Claude Code and in Claude Cowork, which makes Llmwiki Ingest a portable way to give Claude the same method everywhere.
How to install Llmwiki Ingest
Claude Code
- Download the llmwiki-ingest folder from the repository.
- Save it as ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md for all projects, or .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md for one project.
- Claude loads it automatically when a task matches; you can also run it with / and its name.
Claude Cowork
- Zip the skill folder so SKILL.md sits at the top level of the folder.
- Open Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
- Start a task that matches the description, or call it by name with /.

Inside the source file
An excerpt from .claude/skills/llmwiki-ingest/SKILL.md, shared under the repository's MIT license. Read the full file on GitHub.
What this skill does
Takes a source file (or a folder) and turns it into wiki pages following the Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern:
- Writes a wiki/sources/ .md summary
- Creates/updates entity pages for people, companies, projects, tools, libraries mentioned
- Creates/updates concept pages for ideas, patterns, decisions discussed
- Cross-links everything with [[wikilinks]]
- Flags contradictions
- Updates wiki/index.md, wiki/overview.md, wiki/log.md
When to use
- User says "ingest this file", "add this to the wiki", "process this into the wiki"
- User runs the /wiki-ingest slash command
- User says "sync the wiki" — in that case, the llmwiki-sync skill runs the converter first, then invokes this skill for each new file
Workflow
Follow the Ingest Workflow from the repo's CLAUDE.md exactly:
- Read the source file(s) with the Read tool
- Read wiki/index.md and wiki/overview.md for context
- Write wiki/sources/ .md using the Source Page Format
- Update wiki/index.md — new entry under ## Sources
- Update wiki/overview.md if substantial new info
- Create/update entity pages (wiki/entities/ .md)
- Create/update concept pages (wiki/concepts/ .md)
- Cross-link with [[wikilinks]] under ## Connections
- Flag contradictions under ## Contradictions
- Append to wiki/log.md: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest |
Session-specific rules
When the source is under raw/sessions/ (a session transcript converted by the converter):
- Trust the frontmatter as authoritative (project, started, model, tools_used, etc.)
- Do not copy the ## Conversation section verbatim — use it as raw material to summarise
- Create a project entity page at wiki/entities/ .md with a ## Sessions list
- Extract decisions into wiki/concepts/ — anything the user explicitly locked
- Extract tools used — every entry in tools_used is a candidate entity
- If is_subagent: true — link to the parent session rather than creating a new project entity
Hard rules
- raw/ is immutable. Never modify files there.
- No silent overwrites. Conflicting claims go under ## Contradictions.
- Every page has a ## Connections section with at least one [[wikilink]].
- Frontmatter is authoritative. Always populate title, type, tags, sources, last_updated.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
