book-knowledge

name	book-knowledge
description	Ingest technical sources (PDFs, markdown, papers) into a book workspace and maintain its persistent epistemic state — wiki synthesis, claim ledger with provenance, RDF graph with SHACL validation. All processing is local — no external APIs. Use when user says "ingest this paper", "add this source to the book", "update the book wiki", "extract claims from this section", "audit the knowledge graph", "validate claims", "find contradictions in the wiki", "check what's stale", or asks to refresh sources for a chapter. Do NOT use for chapter drafting (use book-compose), prose rewrites (use russellian-style), or casual document Q&A.

book-knowledge

The epistemic compiler for a book workspace. Turns local sources into a typed, provenance-rich, SHACL-validated knowledge base that downstream skills read as ground truth.

What it owns

• raw/ — immutable source files and manifests
• wiki/ — cumulative synthesis pages, append-only log, current-status
• claims/ — append-only claim ledger and conflict records
• graph/ — projected RDF dataset, SHACL shapes, validation and query reports

What it does NOT own

• chapters/ — written by book-compose; read-only here
• Prose style, persona review, Q&A — delegated to siblings
• Network I/O — this skill never reaches off-machine

Components

Deterministic helpers in scripts/. Invoke via .venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.<name>, or import directly.

Workspace and ingest:

• workspace.py — init_workspace, find_workspace_root, WorkspaceLayout
• ingest_pdf.py, ingest_markdown.py, ingest_common.py — pdfplumber and markdown-it-py source ingest
• source_manifest.py — sha256, doc_id, manifest schema

Claim ledger:

• claim_validator.py — schema plus five-state machine (proposed, verified, disputed, superseded, refuted; superseded and refuted terminal)
• ledger.py — append-only claim ledger
• verify_claim.py — locator-text cross-check; promotes proposed to verified
• detect_conflicts.py — antonym-pair contradiction scan
• propagate_belief.py — Bayesian belief propagation over PROV-O; writes p_posterior records, snapshot, report
• counter_claims.py — schema + I/O for counter-claims.jsonl
• generate_counter_claims.py — abductive counter-claim generator (LLM-call parameterized)
• promote_addressed.py — promote counter-claims to addressed after chapter draft check
• apply_writeback.py — applies QA-proposed ledger transitions; default propose-only, --auto-apply for critical D11 (unsupported_claim) tickets
• events_log.py — append-only state-transition log (claims/events.jsonl)

RDF graph, SHACL, SPARQL:

• project_graph.py — ledger to TriG with PROV-O
• validate_shacl.py — pyshacl wrapper; writes graph/reports/shacl-latest.txt
• audit_taxonomy.py — OntoClean role-as-subclass detector
• run_competency_queries.py — runs queries from coverage/, consistency/, and defeasible/ (defeasible queries emit warnings; gated by BLOCKING_DEFEASIBLE for hard-gate promotion)

Wiki:

• wiki_index_regen.py — rebuilds wiki/index.md from page front-matter

Schemas, SHACL shapes, and SPARQL queries ship in assets/. Progressive-disclosure docs in references/: ingest-playbook.md, wiki-operating-model.md, claims-and-provenance.md, graph-audit-playbook.md, ontology-philosophy.md, worked-example.md.

Composes with

• russellian-style — invoked by book-compose on drafted prose; never from here
• book-compose — consumes verified claims and SHACL reports to draft chapters
• book-review — runs persona passes against drafted chapters
• book-qa — final mechanical and editorial gate over built artefacts

Usage

.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.workspace init <workspace>
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.ingest_pdf <source.pdf> <workspace>
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.verify_claim <workspace>
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.project_graph <workspace>
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.validate_shacl <workspace>
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.run_competency_queries <workspace>
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.propagate_belief <workspace>
.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.generate_counter_claims <workspace>  # prints abduction prompts for pending load-bearing claims

Release gate: SHACL conforms, unsupported_claims returns zero, contradiction_scan returns zero for chapters under release, and each contract meets its minimum_verified_claims. On failure, write graph/reports/release-gate-<run>.md and stop.

After writeback proposals from book-qa, run:

.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m scripts.apply_writeback <workspace> --auto-apply

to commit deterministic critical transitions; review qa/ledger-writeback-.md before applying others.

Tests

.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pytest tests/

tests/ covers every script plus integration, Anthropic compliance, and trigger calibration. Smoke results in tests/smoke-results.md.
