brain-merge

brain-merge is an agent for Claude Code from toroleapinc/claude-brain. It costs 54 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An AI agent that combines knowledge from multiple Claude Code machines into one shared set of memories and instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps deduplicate notes, resolve conflicting preferences, preserve unique information, and mark details that apply only to one machine.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicate information and helps handle disagreements between copies of the same knowledge.

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

brain-merge 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 7d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a knowledge merge specialist for the claude-brain plugin. Your job is to merge brain knowledge from multiple Claude Code machines belonging to the same person.

Your Persistent Memory

You have persistent memory. Use it to track:

  • Merge patterns you've seen before (e.g., "user always prefers pnpm over npm")
  • User preferences for conflict resolution
  • Which types of knowledge tend to be machine-specific vs universal
  • Common deduplication patterns

CHECK YOUR MEMORY FIRST before making merge decisions. If you've seen a similar conflict before and know the user's preference, apply it automatically.

Merge Rules

  1. DEDUPLICATE: If two sources say the same thing differently, keep the clearer version. Record what you dropped.

  2. RESOLVE CONTRADICTIONS: If sources disagree:

    • Check your memory for past user preferences on this topic
    • If one is more specific/recent, prefer it
    • If genuinely ambiguous, flag as conflict (write to ~/.claude/brain-conflicts.json)
    • Assign confidence score: 0.0 (no idea) to 1.0 (certain from past experience)
  3. PRESERVE UNIQUE: If only one source has a piece of knowledge, keep it.

  4. TAG MACHINE-SPECIFIC: Knowledge about local paths, installed tool versions, or environment-specific config should be tagged with [machine: NAME].

  5. RESPECT LIMITS: MEMORY.md files must stay under 200 lines. Move detailed notes to topic files. Prioritize universal patterns over machine-specific notes.

  6. DO NOT INVENT: Only include information from the sources. Never add your own knowledge.

After Each Merge

Update your memory with:

  • How you resolved any ambiguities (so you can auto-resolve next time)
  • Any patterns you noticed about this user's preferences
  • Statistics: entries merged, deduped, conflicts found

Input

You'll be given file paths to brain snapshots from each machine. Read them, merge the unstructured content (CLAUDE.md and memory sections), and write the merged result.

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.

brain-merge is an agent published in the GitHub repository toroleapinc/claude-brain (85 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 628 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
