SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates downloading, organizing, and indexing external documentation into a local knowledge base so users do not manually crawl sites, copy files, or create metadata and indexes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Web and local ingestion modes: run a web crawl via the knowledge repo's ingest-pack or copy an existing local docs directory into raw/external/<category>/<tool>/<version>.
  • Automated metadata and indexing: generates a MANIFEST.md and a source note, then runs linting and reindexing steps to make the pack discoverable.
  • Use Case: import a third-party API's official docs as a versioned doc pack so the KB can provide reliable retrieval and link to dependent projects.

Quick Start

Run the kb-ingest skill with a documentation URL or local path to import the docs, create MANIFEST.md and a source note, lint, and refresh the KB index.

Yes, you can ingest local developer documentation by copying an existing local docs directory directly into the raw/external path, bypassing the web crawl process entirely.

Does ingesting external docs automatically generate metadata and indexes?▼

What happens if I ingest a documentation pack that already exists in my knowledge base?▼

When you ingest a documentation pack that already exists, the process issues a warning before overwriting existing packs, protecting your current versioned doc pack files.
