bb-pause

A command that temporarily disables an automatic SessionEnd backup hook. A lock file is a small file used to signal that an action should be skipped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Pausing, resuming, or checking automatic sync with /bb-pause, and manually using /backup while syncing is paused.
Why use it?
It prevents unfinished changes to backup-related files from being committed automatically at the end of a session.

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

bb-pause 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

/bb-pause -- Pause Auto Sync

Pause the SessionEnd auto-commit hook when refactoring core engine files.

When to use

When editing memory-backup.sh, hooks/*.js, or CLAUDE.md, the SessionEnd hook might auto-commit half-finished work before you've verified it. This lock prevents that.

Usage

  • /bb-pause or /bb-pause on -- Create ~/.claude/.bb-pause lock file
  • /bb-pause off -- Remove lock file, resume auto-sync
  • /bb-pause status -- Check current state

Why this exists

memory-backup.sh runs on SessionEnd to auto-commit your work. This is usually helpful, but it's dangerous when you're mid-refactor on the engine itself -- the hook might commit a broken half-version. The .bb-pause file makes the script exit early, so you can work safely.

Execution

  1. Parse args (on/off/status, default: on)
  2. Run corresponding action:
    • on: touch ~/.claude/.bb-pause and report "auto-sync paused"
    • off: rm -f ~/.claude/.bb-pause and report "resumed"
    • status: check if lock exists and report
  3. Reminder: while paused, manually run /backup to push changes; otherwise nothing leaves your machine.
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.
