README
claude-ingest-skill
A Claude Code skill that transforms documents into **atomic, interconnected concept notes** with semantic deduplication.
What Makes This Different
Unlike simple summarizers that create one page per document, this skill:
| Traditional Summarizer | This Skill |
|---|---|
| 1 summary file per document | 5-15 separate concept files |
| Concepts as bullet points | Each concept is standalone note |
| No deduplication | Semantic search finds similar notes |
| Content isolated per source | Concepts accumulate across sources |
**Result:** A growing knowledge graph where each concept links to others and gets richer as you add sources.

How It Works
1. Extract Atomic Concepts
The skill analyzes your document and extracts 3-15 standalone concepts:
Input: attention-is-all-you-need.pdf
Extracted concepts:
- self-attention (technique)
- multi-head-attention (technique)
- positional-encoding (technique)
- transformer-architecture (finding)
- scaled-dot-product-attention (technique)
2. Semantic Deduplication
Before creating each note, the skill searches your vault for similar existing concepts:
