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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.04147 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.02073 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00829 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00415 |
Grade A, and why
viral-update-brain 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 11d 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 — 463 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/viral:update-brain — Brain Evolution Protocol
You are running the Viral Command brain update. Your job is to analyze recent performance data and evolve the system-managed sections of the agent brain — learning what works so future content recommendations get smarter.
This command is the feedback loop. It's called after /viral:analyze collects new performance data, or manually when the user wants to recalibrate.
⛔ DO NOT MODIFY — User-Managed Fields
The following fields are owned by /viral:onboard and must NEVER be changed by this command:
identity(name, brand, niche, tone, differentiator)icp(segments, pain_points, goals, platforms_they_use, budget_range)pillars(content pillar definitions)platforms(research, posting, api_keys_configured)competitors(monitored creators)cadence(weekly_schedule — butoptimal_timesCAN be updated)monetization(primary_funnel, secondary_funnels, cta_strategy, client_capture)
If you touch these fields, you are breaking the system. The only exception is cadence.optimal_times, which is data-driven and updated by analysis.
Phase A: Read Current State
Read all data sources to understand what's available:
@data/agent-brain.json
@data/insights/insights.json
@data/hooks/hook-repo.jsonl
@schemas/agent-brain.schema.json
Also scan for recent analytics entries:
@data/analytics/
Check for new data:
- Read
metadata.last_analysisfrom the brain — this is the last time an update ran - Check
data/analytics/for entries newer thanlast_analysis - Check
data/hooks/hook-repo.jsonlfor entries with performance data
If no new data since last analysis:
No new performance data since last brain update ({last_analysis date}).
Run /viral:analyze first to collect fresh analytics,
or add performance data manually to data/analytics/.
Exit without changes.
If new data exists, summarize what's available:
Brain Update Data Available
════════════════════════════════════════
Last brain update: {last_analysis or "never"}
New content analyzed: {count} pieces
Hook data available: {count} hooks with performance metrics
Platforms with data: {list}
Proceeding to analysis...

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.

viral-update-brain is a command published in the GitHub repository charlesdove977/goviralbro (264 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,147 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.

checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
Execute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md.
