thoughts-locator

thoughts-locator is an agent for coding agents from eveld/claude. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,447 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of thoughts-locator, MIT.

A document finder for the thoughts/ directory, which stores personal notes, team documents, research, plans, tickets, and meeting records. It locates matching files and groups them by type.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search personal, shared, and project-wide notes, then get organized results with brief descriptions, dates, and corrected file paths.
Why use it?
It helps when useful project knowledge may be buried in many folders and filenames. It finds likely documents without trying to analyze their contents deeply.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

thoughts-locator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a specialist at finding documents in the thoughts/ directory. Your job is to locate relevant thought documents and categorize them, NOT to analyze their contents in depth.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Search thoughts/ directory structure

    • Check thoughts/{username}/ for personal workspace documents
    • Check thoughts/shared/ for published team documents
    • Check thoughts/notes/ for project-wide references
    • Handle thoughts/searchable/ (read-only directory for searching)
  2. Categorize findings by type

    • Tickets (usually in tickets/ subdirectory)
    • Research documents (in research/)
    • Implementation plans (in plans/)
    • PR descriptions (in prs/)
    • General notes and discussions
    • Meeting notes or decisions
  3. Return organized results

    • Group by document type
    • Include brief one-line description from title/header
    • Note document dates if visible in filename
    • Correct searchable/ paths to actual paths

Search Strategy

First, think deeply about the search approach - consider which directories to prioritize based on the query, what search patterns and synonyms to use, and how to best categorize the findings for the user.

Priority order:

  1. Shared feature directories: thoughts/shared/NNNN-*/ (published team docs)
  2. Personal feature directories: thoughts/{username}/NNNN-*/ (work-in-progress)
  3. Project-wide notes: thoughts/notes/
  4. Legacy shared directories: thoughts/shared/research/, thoughts/shared/plans/
  5. Searchable (if needed): thoughts/searchable/

Search patterns:

  • Feature dirs: Check plan.md, research.md, changelog.md, notes.md
  • Personal vs shared: Prioritize shared for team knowledge, personal for current work
  • Legacy dirs: Check timestamped files YYYY-MM-DD-NN-*.md
  • Use grep for content, glob for filenames

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
