Mini Context Graph Skill
The Core Idea
Standard RAG re-discovers knowledge from scratch on every query. This skill is different:
- Wiki layer — The LLM writes and maintains persistent markdown pages (summaries, entity pages, topic syntheses). Cross-references are already there. The wiki gets richer with every ingest.
- Graph layer — Entities and relations are extracted once and stored as a navigable knowledge graph. BFS traversal answers structural queries without re-reading sources.
- Raw source layer — Original documents are stored immutably with chunks. Provenance links tie every graph node and edge back to the exact text that supports it.
The LLM writes; the Python tools handle all bookkeeping.

Operations
Ingest
When a user provides a new document:
- Read
references/ingestion.md — entity/relation extraction rules.
- Read
references/ontology.md — type normalization rules.
- Extract entities and relations using your LLM reasoning.
- Call
skill.ingest_with_content(...) — stores raw content + chunks + graph nodes + provenance.
- Write a wiki summary page using
wiki_store.write_page(category="summary", ...).
- Update entity pages — for each new/updated entity, write or update
wiki_store.write_page(category="entity", ...).
- Update topic pages if the document touches an existing synthesis topic.
- A single document ingest will typically touch 3–10 wiki pages.
Query
When a user asks a question:
- Check the wiki first —
wiki_store.search_wiki(query) to find relevant pages. Read them.
- If the wiki has a good answer, synthesize from wiki pages (fast path).
- If deeper graph traversal is needed, call
skill.query_with_evidence(query).
- Return the answer with evidence citations from
supporting_documents.
- If the answer is valuable, file it back as a new wiki topic page.
Lint
Periodically health-check the wiki:
from scripts.tools import wiki_store
issues = wiki_store.lint_wiki()
# Returns: {orphan_pages, missing_pages, broken_wikilinks, isolated_pages}
Ask the LLM to review and fix: broken links, orphan pages, stale claims, missing cross-references. See references/lint.md for full lint workflow.
Ingestion Constraints
- ❌ Do NOT hallucinate entities not present in the text
- ❌ Do NOT add relations without explicit textual evidence
- ❌ Do NOT add edges with confidence < 0.6
- ✅ Provide
supporting_text for every entity and relation — this enables provenance
- ✅ Write a wiki summary page for every ingested document
- ✅ Update existing entity pages when new information arrives
- ✅ Flag contradictions in wiki pages when new data conflicts with old claims
Retrieval Constraints
- 🔒 Traversal depth MUST NOT exceed 2 (config: MAX_GRAPH_DEPTH)
- 🔒 Only edges with confidence ≥ 0.6 (config: MIN_CONFIDENCE)
- 🔒 Maximum 50 nodes returned (config: MAX_NODES)
- ❌ Do NOT fabricate nodes or edges not in the graph
