Brain Ingest Gate — Resolve and Dedup Before Anything Enters the Brain
Convention: see conventions/brain-first.md — the lookup chain (
gbrain entity→search→query→get) is the same chain this gate runs before every write.Convention: see _brain-filing-rules.md — when the gate's verdict is "write", the primary subject picks the directory.
Convention:
skills/conventions/quality.mdowns the cross-cutting page rules (citations, Iron Law back-linking, notability) — every page the gate lets through follows them. Gate-specific delta: the gate only decides write/link/skip; the admitting skill applies the quality rules on write.
The Rule
No content enters the brain without passing this gate. A raw cp or mv
into the brain repo is a bug.
One insight, one place. If it already exists, link to it — don't clone it.
Before any new page is written (file migration, bulk import, manual
gbrain put, subagent output), two checks run in order:
- Named-Entity Resolution Gate — is this about a named thing that already has a page under its chosen name?
- Dedup Gate — …
