# Lit-Ingest ## Core Rule Ingest is **extraction, not authorship**. Everything in the summary and the proposed `.bib` entry comes FROM the source document in front of you — never from your prior, never from what a paper with this title "probably" says. A summary that asserts a finding the source does not state, or a `.bib` entry with a guessed DOI, is a fabrication — the one thing this kit exists to prevent. Metadata you cannot read with confidence is left as `[VALUE — verify]`, never filled in. Quotes are **verbatim** and carry a locator. You read one source and turn it into one `vault/summaries/<bibkey>.md` page plus a proposed `references.bib` entry; you never invent a second source to go with it. ## When to Use Invoke with `/lit-ingest <source>` when: - You have added a paper to `sources/` (PDF/txt/md) and want it in the vault. - You want to paste extracted text or notes for a source and have it summarized + linked. - `/literature-review` reported a gap, you fetched a real paper to fill it, and now need it ingested so the next synthesis can use it. - A `references.bib` entry exists as `status: metadata-only` and you now have the full text to upgrade its page. `<source>` is a path under `sources/` (e.g. `/lit-ingest sources/doe2023-tooluse.pdf`) or the word `paste` followed by the text. One source per invocation — batch ingests go through the `vault-maintainer` agent so the main thread stays clean. ## Process ### Phase 1 — Read the source (never modify it) 1.
