summary

A command that displays a complete briefing of a project's MindLink memory. It combines project details, architecture, decisions, session state, shared context, and recent history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Briefing an agent during a session, reviewing project decisions and architecture, and retrieving the full recent project history; JSON output is available.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent the broader project background needed to continue work without copying notes into the chat.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

summary 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

Show a full briefing of everything MindLink knows about this project.


Synopsis

mindlink summary [--json]

Description

Reads all four .brain/ files and surfaces everything in one view: project identity, architecture, decisions, current session state, what other sessions have shared, and recent history.

Your AI agent can run this itself — just tell it mindlink summary and it reads the output directly. This is the cleanest way to brief a mid-session agent without copying files around.


Output

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 449 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.
