What Brain Ingest does

Brain Ingest turns conversation, documents, or research into structured brain pages through the `brain` CLI. Use it when knowledge should be classified, placed, and written into persistent project memory.

Brain Ingest is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Brain Ingest comes from a repository tagged agent-memory, ai-agents, claude-code, cli and codex.

README

Excerpt

brain-ingest

This skill is about "turning scattered input into structured brain knowledge". The input can be a conclusion from a conversation, an external document, a piece of research, or the decisions behind a set of code changes. The goal is to land that knowledge in the right place, the right category, and the right structure — and to write it through the brain CLI so it is correct by construction.

Reach for this process not only when explicitly asked to "ingest" something. The brain is the project's persistent memory (see BRAIN.md), so trigger it proactively whenever knowledge crystallizes — a decision settled in discussion, a requirement or constraint agreed, an insight that will still matter in six months. Capture it as it surfaces rather than waiting to be told.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
