AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
Mini Context Graph implements a persistent knowledge management system designed to overcome the limitations of standard RAG. Instead of re-deriving knowledge from scratch, it maintains three synchronized layers: a wiki for human-readable synthesis, a knowledge graph for structural traversal, and an immutable raw source store for provenance. The agent acts as the curator, ingesting documents, extracting entities and relations, and continuously updating the wiki and graph to ensure knowledge accumulates and cross-references over time.
What it does
- Ingests documents to extract entities and relations into a structured knowledge graph.
- Maintains a persistent markdown wiki that synthesizes information and cross-references entities.
- Stores raw source content immutably to provide verifiable evidence for every graph node and edge.
- Supports structural graph traversal to answer complex queries without re-reading source documents.
- Provides a linting workflow to identify contradictions, orphans, and stale claims within the knowledge base.
- Enables fast-path retrieval by searching the wiki before performing deeper graph analysis.
When to use it
- When you need a long-term, evolving knowledge base that grows more accurate with every document ingested.
- When you require strict provenance and citations for every claim made by the agent.
- When you need to perform structural analysis or relationship mapping across a large set of documents.
- When you want to avoid the computational overhead of re-processing raw data for every query.
- When you need to maintain a clean, human-readable wiki alongside a machine-navigable graph.
Advantages
- Compounding knowledge: The system gets smarter and more interconnected as more data is added.
- Verifiable: Every graph connection is linked to specific source text for auditability.
- Hybrid retrieval: Combines the speed of wiki search with the depth of graph traversal.
- Self-maintaining: Includes built-in linting to detect and resolve data inconsistencies.
- Persistent: Knowledge is stored and refined, not generated from scratch on every request.
Usage examples
- “Ingest the provided incident report and update the knowledge base.”
- The agent extracts entities and relations, updates the graph, writes a summary wiki page, and links the new information to existing entity pages.
- “Why does the system crash? Provide evidence.”
- The agent searches the wiki for relevant context and performs a graph traversal to identify the cause, returning the answer with direct citations from the source documents.
- “Run a health check on the wiki.”
- The agent executes the linting workflow to identify and report on orphan pages, broken links, or potential contradictions in the knowledge base.

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.
Three Layers
| Layer | Where | What the LLM does | What Python does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw Sources | data/documents.json | Reads (never modifies) | Stores chunks + metadata |
| Wiki | wiki/ (markdown) | Writes/updates pages | Manages index.md + log.md |
| Graph | data/graph.json | Extracts entities + relations | Persists, deduplicates, traverses |
⚡ Quick Start for Agents
A complete runnable version of this workflow is in scripts/template_agent_workflow.py — copy and adapt it.

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_textfor 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

| Method | Purpose | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
skill.ingest_with_content(doc_id, title, source, raw_content, entities, relations) | Full RAG ingest: raw docs + graph + provenance | Every new document |
skill.add_node(name, node_type) | Add single entity (no provenance) | Quick additions without a source doc |
skill.add_edge(source_name, target_name, relation, confidence) | Add single relation | Quick additions without a source doc |
skill.query(query) | Graph-only retrieval → subgraph | Structural queries |
skill.query_with_evidence(query) | Graph + provenance → subgraph + source chunks | Queries requiring citations |
wiki_store.write_page(category, title, content, summary) | Write/update a wiki page | After every ingest; after answering queries |
wiki_store.read_page(category, title) | Read a wiki page | Before answering; for cross-referencing |
wiki_store.search_wiki(query) | Keyword search across wiki | Fast path before graph traversal |
wiki_store.list_pages(category) | List all wiki pages | Getting an overview |
wiki_store.get_log(last_n) | Read recent operations | Understanding wiki history |
wiki_store.lint_wiki() | Health check | Periodic maintenance |
documents_store.list_documents() | List all ingested raw sources | Audit / provenance checking |
documents_store.search_chunks(query) | Chunk-level search | Finding specific evidence |
Design Philosophy
"The wiki is a persistent, compounding artifact. The cross-references are already there. The synthesis already reflects everything you've read." — Karpathy
| Layer | What Happens | Who Owns It |
|---|---|---|
| LLM Reasoning | Extraction, synthesis, writing wiki pages | Agent (.md guidance files) |
| Wiki Persistence | Index, log, file I/O | wiki_store.py |
| Graph Persistence | Dedup, index, BFS traverse | graph_store.py, retrieval_engine.py |
| Raw Source Storage | Immutable docs + chunks + provenance | documents_store.py |
The human curates sources and asks questions. The LLM writes the wiki, extracts the graph, and answers with citations. Python handles all bookkeeping.
