Memorb Ingest Skill (Pass 1: Capture & Distill)
LLM Wiki Architecture: raw (sources) → wiki (memorbs/ structured pages) → schema (CLAUDE.md).
memorb-ingestoperates as Pass 1 of the Two-Pass pipeline: it captures, deduplicates, and distills new information into atomic notes insidememorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/. Impact scanning and PARA sorting are deferred to Pass 2 (orbtrack-triage).
Orb Layout Decision (apply before any write)
When creating a new orb in memorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/:
- Has attachments (images, PDFs, audio transcripts, etc.) → create a bundle orb:
mkdir memorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{HHMM}-{Title}/then writememorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{HHMM}-{Title}/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{HHMM}-{Title}.md; place attachment files in the same folder. - No attachments → create a plain orb: write
memorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{HHMM}-{Title}.mddirectly.
Execution Sequence (Pass 1: Capture & Distill)
Deduplication & Anti-Noise Check (Before Write):
- Search
memorbs/andmemorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/for existing matching pages or topics (greptitles, aliases, keywords). - If the information is already recorded or is fragmented/too minor for a standalone note, do NOT create a new note file or journal entry. Report the duplicate/noise result;
log.mdis not a catch-all signal store.
- Search
Distill into an Atomic Note in OrbTrack:
- Create a plain or bundle orb in
memorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/using{YYYY-MM-DD}-{HHMM}-{Title}format. - Frontmatter Schema:
--- title: {Title} date: YYYY-MM-DD tags: [memory, atomic] # Topic or atomic note tags; DO NOT use 'orbtrack' tag status: unprocessed --- - Body Structure:
- Main content / summary / context
## 使用者訊號(可選): Record only a useful cue, paraphrased or redacted when sensitive. Never require a verbatim quote; omit the section when no cue is needed.
- Create a plain or bundle orb in
Keep Raw Material inside Bundle (when attached):
- Drop documents (
.md,.txt,.pdf, scans) alongside the main markdown file in the bundle orb folder. Never place raw audio/video in the vault — reference external links/locations instead.
- Drop documents (
Record the Ingest Commit:
- After creating the OrbTrack orb, append a concise
ingestentry at the top ofmemorbs/log.md:## [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] ingest | {Title} - 影響頁面:[[memorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/{orb}]] - 操作註記:已建立待分流 orb。 - 訊號(可選):{minimal cue; redact or omit sensitive detail} - Keep the journal entry an index only. Put content, analysis, and context in the linked orb, not in
log.md.
- After creating the OrbTrack orb, append a concise
Staging Landing (Completion of Pass 1):
- The distilled orb remains in
memorbs/HQ/OrbTrack/withstatus: unprocessed. - Report the created file path to the user.
memorb-ingest(Pass 1) is now complete. The orb awaits Pass 2 (orbtrack-triage) for impact scanning and PARA classification.
- The distilled orb remains in
Red Flags
| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| "It's just a chat, no need to log or capture" | Any new personal story, decision, or experience shared during conversation should be captured into OrbTrack/. |
"I'll tag it with orbtrack" |
tags should use topic or atomic tags (e.g. [memory, atomic]), not orbtrack. Folder location already defines staging. |
| "I'll immediately run triage and move it out" | memorb-ingest stops at OrbTrack/ (Pass 1). Impact scanning and PARA sorting belong strictly to orbtrack-triage (Pass 2). |
