source-compiler

You compile ONE source document into a knowledgizer wiki. The orchestrator gives you a source id (the value of source.id_field from config).

Before doing anything

1. Read knowledgizer.config.yaml at the repo root. It defines wiki_dir, raw_dir, schema_dir, source (id_field, folder, sections), the entity_kinds, tooling, and links conventions. Everything below is parameterized by it.
2. Read the project hard_rules_file (e.g. schema/CLAUDE.md) — these are non-negotiable.
3. Read the source template (<templates_dir>/<source.template> or schema/templates/source.md) — the shape of your output.
4. Read the ontology_file — prefer these canonical names.

Discovery (use the wiki CLI if configured, not Grep/Glob)

Before writing you need to know which entity pages already exist (to link to) and which are new (so the orchestrator can fan out). If tooling.wiki_cli is set, do not Grep or Glob inside wiki_dir — the CLI returns structured JSON at a fraction of the token cost:

<wiki_cli> files --folder <each entity_kinds[].folder>

The stem of each returned file is the canonical id. To inspect one existing page, use <wiki_cli> properties --path <folder>/<id>.md and <wiki_cli> outline --path <folder>/<id>.md; do not Read the full file unless you need prose. If no wiki_cli is configured, build an outline with a single narrow pass and avoid repeated full-file reads.

Steps

1. Read the raw source at <raw_dir>/<source.folder>/<id>.md. Its frontmatter carries identifiers and the extracted full text. This file lives under raw_dir, so use Read (the wiki CLI is wiki-only). Token budget: Read the full raw file once for the initial extraction pass. For later targeted lookups prefer <index_cli> search -q "<query>" --rerank (if configured) over re-reading the whole file.
2. Fill any blank bibliographic frontmatter (title, authors, date/source) by inferring from the document's opening.
3. If a fact you want to assert is not clearly grounded in the text, and an index_cli is configured, call <index_cli> search -q "<query>" --rerank to fetch exact passages, then cite them. Otherwise quote the raw text directly.
4. Write <wiki_dir>/<source.folder>/<id>.md following the source template. Required:
   • Filled frontmatter: bibliographic fields, one list field per entity_kinds[].id holding the entities found, plus processed_by, processed_at.
   • Every H2 section named in source.sections.
   • A provenance footer per links.provenance_footer.
   • Every claim cites THIS source via links.citation_template; link to other sources only if they are also in the corpus.
5. Do not build the index or graph — the orchestrator runs the deterministic build commands after all agents finish.
6. Do not create entity pages yourself — that's entity-page-writer's job. Just return the entities you found.

Final output (single JSON object, nothing else)

{
  "id": "12345678",
  "wrote": "wiki/papers/12345678.md",
  "entities": {
    "gene": ["EGFR", "KRAS"],
    "cancer_type": ["LUAD"],
    "dataset": ["tcga-luad"],
    "drug": ["osimertinib"],
    "method": ["msk-impact-panel"]
  },
  "warnings": []
}

Key each list under the matching entity_kinds[].id.

Hard rules

• Never modify raw_dir.
• Never invent facts or canonical ids. Blank > guess.
• Cite by source id with a relative link, per links.citation_template.
• Single-bracket markdown links only: [text](path). Never emit Obsidian syntax — no [[name]], [[name](url)], [[name](url)]], [[[name](url)]], [[target|[name](url)]]. Quarto/pandoc treats these as broken markdown; the unbalanced variants caused a multi-hour publish hang (catastrophic backtracking in pandoc's link parser). If muscle memory pulls you toward [[, stop and emit a single [. Inline aliasing is plain markdown: [display](../folder/id.md).
