registry

A command for maintaining a project registry: a list of projects and their stored session information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps scan projects, import old registry data, view statistics, rebuild the registry, remove duplicates, reconnect transcripts, and look up project identifiers.
Why use it?
It keeps registry data aligned with project folders and helps recover or merge entries when records become outdated or duplicated.

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.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 955 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

registry 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.

pai registry

Registry maintenance: scan, migrate, stats, rebuild

Synopsis

pai registry <subcommand> [options]

Subcommands

Command Description
pai registry scan Walk ~/.claude/projects/ and configured scan_dirs, upsert all projects
pai registry migrate Import data from ~/.claude/session-registry.json
pai registry stats Show summary statistics for the registry
pai registry rebuild Erase all registry data and rebuild from the filesystem (destructive)
pai registry dedupe Merge registry rows that describe the same project.
pai registry reconnect Point projects back at the transcripts they lost.
pai registry lookup Find the project slug for a filesystem path (for use in scripts)

pai registry scan

Walk ~/.claude/projects/ and configured scan_dirs, upsert all projects

Options

Option Description Default
--add-dir <path> Add a directory to scan_dirs config
--remove-dir <path> Remove a directory from scan_dirs config
--show-dirs Show currently configured scan directories
--quick Minimal output mode (used by hooks and daemon)

pai registry migrate

Import data from ~/.claude/session-registry.json

pai registry stats

Show summary statistics for the registry

pai registry rebuild

Erase all registry data and rebuild from the filesystem (destructive)

pai registry dedupe

Merge registry rows that describe the same project.

Two spellings of one directory (e.g. via a symlinked path prefix) register as separate projects and split session history between them. Rows are grouped by resolved path, so a merge only happens when the paths are provably identical. Dry-run by default; --execute backs up the registry first and merges in one transaction.

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.

registry is a command published in the GitHub repository mnott/PAI (45 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 955 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.
