# Ingest a source An ingest that only writes a summary page produces a vault that grows without getting smarter. The whole value is in the second half of the job: connecting the new material to what is already there. A page that lands unlinked is invisible within a week. ## Core rule Nothing is ingested until it is linked. Every run ends with the new pages connected to existing pages in both directions. ## Workflow 1. **Read the source completely** before writing anything. Partial reads produce pages built from the introduction, which is where sources are least specific. 2. **Check what already exists.** Search the wiki for the main entities and concepts. Ingesting into an empty vault and ingesting into a vault of 300 pages are different jobs: in the second, most of your work is updating pages, not creating them. 3. **Write the source page** in `wiki/sources/`. Record claims as claims, with the source attached. 4. **Extract concepts and entities.** One page per idea. If a concept page exists, add what this source contributes and update `updated:`. If it contradicts what is there, record both positions rather than replacing. 5. **Link in both directions.** The source page links to every concept and entity it touches; each of those links back. Add any missing target pages, or list them under Gaps in `index.md`. 6. **Update `index.md` and append to `log.md`** in the same run, because an index that lags is how a vault starts drifting. 7. **Re...
