File contents

Skill: /compile

Trigger

Auto-called after /ingest (do not skip)
Manual: /compile raw/articles/.md

Step 0 — VOCAB LOOKUP (always do this first)

Read vocabs/index.md (read the entire file — it is tiny, ~200 tokens)
Scan the raw content for tech terms
For each term found:

CASE A — term exists in vocabs/index.md: → Use that canonical name when writing wiki pages → If you need the definition, read vocabs/.md

CASE B — term NOT in vocabs/index.md: → Determine the correct category (system-design / architecture / design-patterns / practices / data-storage / technologies) → Add term entry to vocabs/.md → Add term to the correct line in vocabs/index.md → Use that canonical name going forward

Step 1 — WRITE SOURCE PAGE

Create wiki/sources/.md using Source Page template from wiki/CLAUDE.md
Update the raw file: change status: raw → status: compiled

Step 2 — UPDATE WIKI PAGES

For each concept and entity identified (using canonical vocab names): If wiki page already exists: → Append new insights, note the source, check for contradictions → Increment src: count in frontmatter If wiki page does not exist: → Create from appropriate template in wiki/CLAUDE.md CRITICAL RULE: all cross-references MUST be [[wikilinks]] in the page BODY (not just in frontmatter rel: field)

Step 3 — SPECIAL PAGES (create if applicable)

Article makes a comparison → create/update wiki/comparisons/.md
Article lists best practices → create/update wiki/best-practices/.md
Article is about a design pattern → create/update wiki/patterns/.md

Step 4 — UPDATE INDEX + LOG

wiki/index.md: add or update entry using format:
- [[page-name]] | | tag1,tag2,tag3 | Update frontmatter: upd, pages count, sources count
wiki/log.md: append at the bottom:
[YYYY-MM-DD] compile |
