clear

A terminal command that clears MindLink’s current session state by resetting `.brain/SESSION.md`, while keeping stored project facts and history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it between sessions when beginning a genuinely new task and want a clean session slate without deleting the project’s longer-term context.
Why use it?
It starts the next task without carrying over unfinished work from the previous session. Permanent memory, logs, and shared context are preserved.

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

clear 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Reset current session state for a fresh start.

Run in your terminal between sessions. No confirmation needed — it just resets SESSION.md and tells you what it did.


Synopsis

mindlink clear [--yes]

Description

Resets .brain/SESSION.md so your AI agent starts the next session with a clean slate. MEMORY.md, LOG.md, and SHARED.md are not touched — permanent project facts, session history, and shared context are always preserved.

Use this when you want to start a genuinely new task and don't want the agent picking up mid-task state from a previous session.

Changes

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.

It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 406 tokens. 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.
