article-enrichment — From Raw Dumps to Useful Brain Pages

Convention: see conventions/quality.md for

citation rules, verbatim-quote requirements, and back-link enforcement.

Convention: see _brain-filing-rules.md for

filing rules. Article pages live under media/articles/ for raw ingest;

personalized one-of-one synthesis output uses the sanctioned

media/articles/<slug>-personalized.md exception.

What this does

Takes an article brain page that's a wall of raw extracted text and rewrites it as a structured page with:

• Executive Summary — 2-3 sentences, the ONE thing worth remembering
• Why It Matters — connects to the user's specific projects + interests

(read from brain context, not assumed)

• Quotable Lines — 3-5 VERBATIM quotes worth referencing in essays
• Key Insights — actual insights, not topic labels
• Surprising or Counterintuitive — what makes this content unique
• See Also — standard markdown links to related brain pages

Raw source content is preserved in a collapsed <details> section so the original is never lost.

When to invoke

• New article page lands in the brain via media-ingest with needs_enrichment: true
• Existing article page is a wall of text under a ## Content header with

no synthesis

• User says a brain page is useless, boring, or a dump
• An LLM-judge brain-quality eval fails on quotability or actionability for

an article page

The pipeline

1. READ      → Open the article brain page; parse frontmatter + body.
2. SCAN      → Look for ## Content (raw dump) and absence of ## Executive Summary.
3. CONTEXT   → gbrain query the article's key entities to ground "Why It Matters".
4. ENRICH    → Sonnet (default) or Opus (for high-value content) restructures.
5. WRITE     → Replace ## Content with the structured sections; preserve raw
               source in <details>; clear needs_enrichment in frontmatter.
6. CROSS-LINK→ Add back-links from referenced people/companies pages
               (Iron Law per conventions/quality.md).

Invocation

The skill itself is markdown instructions to the agent. It does NOT ship a deterministic CLI command in v0.25.1. The agent uses gbrain's existing operations:

# 1. Find candidate pages
gbrain query "needs_enrichment: true type:article" --limit 50
 
# 2. For each candidate, read the page
gbrain get media/articles/<slug>
 
# 3. Enrich via the agent's LLM (Sonnet by default; Opus for high-value)
#    The agent reads the raw content + brain context + writes the structured page.
 
# 4. Write the enriched page
#    Use the put_page operation with the new structured markdown body.
 
# 5. Cross-link entities
#    For every person/company mentioned, add a timeline back-link.

Quality bar

An enriched page passes if it has:

• ✅ ## Executive Summary (2-3 sentences)
• ✅ ## Quotable Lines with ≥3 verbatim quotes (literal quotes, not paraphrase)
• ✅ ## Key Insights with ≥3 bullets (insights, not topic labels)
• ✅ ## Why It Matters connecting to specific brain context (not generic)
• ✅ ## See Also with standard markdown links (NOT [[wiki-links]])
• ✅ <details> block preserving the raw source content

Model selection

Rule: for bulk enrichment, do a Sonnet draft pass and spot-check 5 with the LLM-judge brain-quality eval. If quotes are paraphrased, switch to Opus for that batch.

Link convention

All cross-references use standard markdown links: [Title](relative/path.md). NEVER use [[wiki-links]] — they don't render on GitHub.

Anti-Patterns

• ❌ Paraphrasing quotes ("the author argues that…"). Quotes are verbatim

or they're not quotes.

• ❌ Generic "Why It Matters" ("this is important because innovation").

Tie to specific brain context or remove the section.

• ❌ Inventing topic labels and calling them insights. An insight is a

thing the article says that you didn't already know.

• ❌ Discarding the raw source. Always wrap it in <details>.
• ❌ Re-enriching non-idempotently — check the needs_enrichment flag in

frontmatter; skip if already false.

Contract

This skill guarantees:

• Routing matches the canonical triggers in the frontmatter.
• Output written under the directories listed in writes_to: (when applicable).
• Conventions referenced (quality.md, brain-first.md, _brain-filing-rules.md) are followed.
• Privacy contract preserved: no real names, no fork-specific filesystem path literals, no upstream-fork references.

The full behavior contract is documented in the body sections above; this section exists for the conformance test.
