If Project repo is none, this genome is knowledge-only — phase-2 project work
does not apply. When set, after a wiki PR is merged, the orchestrator may trigger
work on this repo within Allowed tasks. The agent never touches the project repo
during ingest.
PRIVATE_CONTEXT
Default: disabled — never infer; require explicit operator declaration per session.
| State | Behavior |
|---|---|
disabled |
raw/private/ and wiki/private/ do not exist. No read, list, grep, or summary on private paths. All outputs safe for collaborators. |
enabled |
Operator has confirmed git-crypt unlock ran on host. Read/write private/ authorized. All outputs from private data go exclusively to wiki/private/. Prefix every response drawing on private data: [PRIVATE DATA INCLUDED]. Never leak private synthesis into public wiki paths. |
Pre-commit PLAINTEXT LEAK DETECTED: stop immediately. Do not use --no-verify. Ask operator to verify .gitattributes and encryption state.
Session end or return to disabled: remind operator to run git-crypt lock on host.
Immutable Rules
raw/is read-only. Never create, modify, or delete files inraw/.wiki/is agent-owned. Create, update, and maintain all wiki pages here.- Every operation → one log entry appended to
wiki/log.md(§Log) (automated via manifest during Ingest). - Every new page → one entry appended to
wiki/index.md(§Index) (automated via manifest during Ingest). - Never commit to
main. Branch per task; PR required; no self-merge. - Contradict, don't overwrite. New evidence contradicts existing claim → §Conflict.
- Never commit plaintext to any path marked for encryption in
.gitattributes. - Every PR must use
templates/pr-description.md. Do not omit the tabular summary (automated via run-ingest.sh during Ingest).
NEVER
- Load
wiki/log.mdin full — read only the tail injected by the orchestrator. - Rewrite
wiki/index.mdto reorder entries — append only; sorting is automated. - Run
git-crypt,bw, or any Vaultwarden command — key management is the host's responsibility. - Modify files outside this genome's directory.
- Merge PRs — human approval required.
ASK FIRST
- Deleting any wiki page.
- Changing
maturityfromstabletodeprecated. - Writing to
wiki/private/when PRIVATE_CONTEXT state is ambiguous. - Any operation on files not listed in
wiki/index.md.
Session Start
Execute in this order before any file operation:
- One source per session. If multiple sources are queued in
raw/, process only the first. Commit, close session. The orchestrator starts a new session for the next source. - Read
wiki/index.md— full catalog of all pages and their maturity. - Read the last 20 log entries injected by orchestrator — do not open
wiki/log.mddirectly. - For any task involving related pages:
qmd search "<query>"before opening files. - Operate on individual target files. Never scan entire directories.
Workflows
Ingest
Triggered by new file in raw/.
Phase 1 — Semantic Pass (Agent Skill)
- Read source once.
- Create
wiki/sources/<slug>.md— summary + key points. - Per entity (person, tool, org): create or update
wiki/entities/<name>.md. - Per concept (pattern, theory, decision): create or update
wiki/concepts/<name>.md. - Check each touched page for contradictions → apply §Conflict if found.
- Final action: Write
.ingest-manifest.jsonat the genome root. - STOP. Do not proceed to index, log, lint, commit, or PR — these are Phase 2.
Phase 2 — Deterministic Post-Processing (run-ingest.sh)
Executed automatically by the orchestrator after Phase 1.
8. Append entry to wiki/index.md (bottom of relevant section).
9. Append log entry: INGEST | <slug>.
10. Run scoped lint on pages created or modified in this session. Report issues in PR description. Do not auto-fix.
11. Commit on feat/ai-ingest-<slug>. Open PR using templates/pr-description.md.
Private source (PRIVATE_CONTEXT: enabled required):
- All output →
wiki/private/<slug>.mdonly. - PR title:
[PRIVATE] ingest: <slug>.
Query
Triggered by operator question.
qmd search "<query>"→ identify candidate pages.- Read candidate pages directly.
- Synthesize answer with
[[wikilink]]citations. - If answer is non-trivial: save as
wiki/queries/<slug>.md. - Append entry to
wiki/index.mdunder Queries. - Append log entry:
QUERY | <subject>.
For general orientation without a specific query: read wiki/index.md directly.
Lint
Triggered by operator with bash pre-scan output.
Pre-requisite: operator runs bash scripts/lint-genomes.sh and provides output to this session.
The script handles deterministically: broken links, knowledge decay, page size, frontmatter validation.
Agent tasks — apply semantic judgment to bash findings + independent semantic checks:
- Orphan pages (list from bash): for each orphan, identify 1-3 existing pages that should link to it. Propose specific link additions.
- Implicit concepts (term list from bash): for each candidate term, determine if a dedicated page is warranted. If yes, draft stub.
- Duplicate concepts:
qmd search "<concept>"for suspected duplicates → propose merge if confirmed. maturity: draftpages with 2+ sources cited → propose promote tostable.
Report all findings as structured list. Do not modify files without operator approval.
Append log entry: LINT | <summary of findings>.
File Conventions
Frontmatter
Required on every wiki page:
---
title: "Strict String Title"
type: source | entity | concept | query | conflict | private
domain: {{ GENOME_NAME }}
tags: [lowercase, hyphen-separated]
maturity: draft | stable | deprecated
last_updated: YYYY-MM-DD
private: true | false
---
draft— single source or unvalidated.stable— confirmed by 2+ independent sources.deprecated— superseded. Add> **DEPRECATED:** <reason>callout at top of body.

Index entries
Skill mode: auto-generated by
run-ingest.shfrom manifest. Below applies to manual workflows only.
Append at bottom of relevant section in wiki/index.md:
- [[folder/slug]] — One-line summary. `maturity: draft`
Never reorder. Alphabetical sorting is handled by the post-processor (index-append.py); the pre-commit hook only enforces the security policy.
Log entries
Skill mode: auto-generated by
run-ingest.shfrom manifest. Below applies to manual workflows only.
Append one entry per operation to wiki/log.md:
## [YYYY-MM-DD] TYPE | Subject
- run_id: `<uuid>`
- model: `<model-name>`
- context_read: `[[path/A]]`, `[[path/B]]`
- output_written: `[[path/C]]`
- reasoning: One sentence — what changed and why.
Valid TYPEs: INGEST LINT QUERY CONFLICT CONFIG SECURITY
Parse: grep "^## \[" wiki/log.md | tail -5
Conflict Resolution
When new evidence contradicts an existing wiki claim:
- Keep existing page unchanged.
- Create
wiki/queries/conflict-<concept>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md:
---
title: "Conflict: <concept>"
type: conflict
domain: {{ GENOME_NAME }}
maturity: draft
last_updated: YYYY-MM-DD
private: false
---
## Conflict: <concept>
**Claim A (existing):** [[path/to/existing-page]]
> Summary of current wiki position.
**Claim B (new):** [[path/to/new-source]]
> Summary of contradicting evidence.
**Assessment:**
- Confidence A: high | medium | low — <reason>
- Confidence B: high | medium | low — <reason>
- Recommendation: `accept_b` | `keep_a` | `requires_human_review`
**Status:** ⏳ Awaiting human decision
- Append
[[queries/conflict-<concept>-<date>]]towiki/index.md→ Conflicts section. - Log entry:
CONFLICT | <concept>. - Open PR:
[CONFLICT] <concept> — human review required.
Knowledge Decay
maturity: stablenot updated in 180 days → flag during lint.maturity: draftnot updated in 90 days → flag during lint.
Flagged pages: prepend to body:
> **⚠️ STALE:** Last validated {{last_updated}}. Re-validation required.
Propose re-validation task. Do not change maturity without new source evidence.
