reset

A terminal command that clears MindLink’s stored project context by resetting all four files in the `.brain/` folder to blank templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it between work sessions when you want the AI agent to begin with no saved context. It is a destructive reset and asks for confirmation first.
Why use it?
It removes outdated project and session information when the project direction has fundamentally changed. Settings and agent instruction files remain untouched.

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

reset 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 — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Wipe all .brain/ memory files and start completely fresh.

Run in your terminal, between sessions — not via AI. This is a destructive operation; always prompts for confirmation first.


Synopsis

mindlink reset [--yes]

Description

Resets all four .brain/ memory files — MEMORY.md, SESSION.md, SHARED.md, and LOG.md — back to blank templates. Your settings (config.json) and agent instruction files (e.g. CLAUDE.md, CURSOR.md) are untouched.

Use this when the project direction has fundamentally changed and you want your AI to start with no prior context. For simply starting a new work session, use mindlink clear instead.

Output

! This will wipe all .brain/ memory files and start fresh.

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.

reset 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 527 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.
