 ### Adding Knowledge (Ingest)
 
-1. Drop a file into `incoming/<type>/` (`articles`, `documents`, `notes`, or `assets`) -
-   the directory you choose is the only classification you make; everything past it

+2. Tell the LLM: `Ingest incoming/my-article.md`. It will ask you two things before

 3. The LLM will:
    - Promote it into `raw/` with `raw accept`
    - Read and summarize the source
