export

A command that packages a project’s MindLink memory files into a ZIP archive, a single compressed file. The archive can include the AI’s stored project context and, optionally, agent instruction files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when onboarding a teammate, backing up memory before a reset, or sharing context with a consultant. It can save the archive to a chosen location.
Why use it?
It gives you a portable backup or a way to share project context with another person or computer. The recipient can import the archive into MindLink.

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

export 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Export your project's AI memory to a shareable zip file.

Run in your terminal. The zip can be shared with teammates, used as a backup, or imported into another machine.


Synopsis

mindlink export [--output <path>] [--include-agents]

Description

Packages your .brain/ folder into a zip file named {project}-brain-{date}.zip. You can share this zip with anyone — they import it with mindlink import and their AI agent wakes up knowing everything your project knows.

If you run this interactively (no --output flag), MindLink asks where to save the file.


Use Cases

Onboard a new teammate

mindlink export --output ~/Desktop
# Send them: my-app-brain-2026-04-10.zip
# They run:  mindlink import my-app-brain-2026-04-10.zip

Back up before a reset

mindlink export --output ~/backups
mindlink reset

Share context with a consultant

mindlink export --include-agents --output ~/Desktop
# They get the memory AND the agent instruction files

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.
