iomgaa 6bdb802f01 chore: track claude skills, tools, templates, reference code and research-wiki
- Add all claude skills (brainstorming, commit, debugging, TDD, etc.)
- Add claude hooks (pre-commit-guard, post-edit-quality)
- Add research templates (experiment plan, research brief, etc.)
- Add claude tools (arxiv/semantic_scholar/openalex fetch, wiki, exa)
- Add TRM4 reference implementation as algorithm fidelity baseline
- Add research-wiki content (plans, index, graph, query_pack)
- Update .gitignore to exclude .graphify_version runtime state

# graphify reference: transcribe video and audio
Load this only when `detect` reported one or more `video` files. A corpus with no video never reads this.
### Step 2.5 - Transcribe video / audio files (only if video files detected)
Skip this step entirely if `detect` returned zero `video` files.
Video and audio files cannot be read directly. Transcribe them to text first, then treat the transcripts as doc files in Step 3.
**Strategy:** Read the god nodes from `graphify-out/.graphify_detect.json` (or the analysis file if it exists from a previous run). You are already a language model — write a one-sentence domain hint yourself from those labels. Then pass it to Whisper as the initial prompt. No separate API call needed.
**However**, if the corpus has *only* video files and no other docs/code, use the generic fallback prompt: `"Use proper punctuation and paragraph breaks."`
**Step 1 - Write the Whisper prompt yourself.**
Read the top god node labels from detect output or analysis, then compose a short domain hint sentence, for example:
- Labels: `transformer, attention, encoder, decoder``"Machine learning research on transformer architectures and attention mechanisms. Use proper punctuation and paragraph breaks."`
- Labels: `kubernetes, deployment, pod, helm``"DevOps discussion about Kubernetes deployments and Helm charts. Use proper punctuation and paragraph breaks."`
Set it as `WHISPER_PROMPT` to use in the next command.
**Step 2 - Transcribe:**
```bash
GRAPHIFY_WHISPER_MODEL=base # or whatever --whisper-model the user passed
$(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python) -c "
import json, os
from pathlib import Path
from graphify.transcribe import transcribe_all
detect = json.loads(Path('graphify-out/.graphify_detect.json').read_text(encoding=\"utf-8\"))
video_files = detect.get('files', {}).get('video', [])
prompt = os.environ.get('GRAPHIFY_WHISPER_PROMPT', 'Use proper punctuation and paragraph breaks.')
transcript_paths = transcribe_all(video_files, initial_prompt=prompt)
print(json.dumps(transcript_paths, ensure_ascii=False))
" > graphify-out/.graphify_transcripts.json
```
After transcription:
- Read the transcript paths from `graphify-out/.graphify_transcripts.json`
- Add them to the docs list before dispatching semantic subagents in Step 3B
- Print how many transcripts were created: `Transcribed N video file(s) -> treating as docs`
- If transcription fails for a file, print a warning and continue with the rest
**Whisper model:** Default is `base`. If the user passed `--whisper-model <name>`, set `GRAPHIFY_WHISPER_MODEL=<name>` in the environment before running the command above.
