import

A command that extracts a MindLink memory ZIP archive into the current project’s .brain folder. If memory already exists, it can merge missing files or replace the current memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to restore or transfer MindLink memory from an archive. The --yes option skips confirmation and overwrites existing memory.
Why use it?
It helps move project context to a new computer, accept a colleague’s shared memory, or restore a backup. Confirmation protects existing memory unless overwrite is selected.

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

import 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

Import a MindLink memory zip into the current project.

Run in your terminal. Takes a .zip exported by mindlink export and extracts it into .brain/.


Synopsis

mindlink import <file.zip> [--yes]

Description

Extracts a zip created by mindlink export into the current project's .brain/ folder. If .brain/ already exists, you choose whether to merge (keep your current memory, add what's missing) or overwrite (replace everything with the imported version).


Use Cases

Onboard on a new machine

# Copy the zip to the new machine, then:
mindlink import my-app-brain-2026-04-10.zip
# Your AI agent wakes up fully briefed on the first session

Accept a colleague's memory

mindlink import colleague-brain-2026-04-10.zip
# Choose Merge to keep your work and add what they know

Restore from backup

mindlink import ~/backups/my-app-brain-2026-04-01.zip --yes

Options

Flag Description
--yes, -y Skip confirmation, overwrite existing memory

Merge vs Overwrite

When .brain/ already exists:

Mode What happens
Merge Only imports files that don't exist locally. Your current memory is kept.
Overwrite Replaces all .brain/ files with the imported versions.

Output

  ✓  .brain/MEMORY.md
  ✓  .brain/SESSION.md
  ✓  .brain/SHARED.md
  ✓  .brain/LOG.md

  ✓  Memory imported. Your AI will wake up fully briefed.

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.

import is a command published in the GitHub repository 404-not-found/mindlink (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 450 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.
