agent-brain-folders

agent-brain-folders is a command for coding agents from SpillwaveSolutions/agent-brain. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for managing the folders that Agent Brain indexes, meaning folders whose contents are prepared for later searching.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list indexed folders, add or remove folders, include selected file types or code, re-index files, and watch for changes.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manage indexed folders manually through separate configuration steps.

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

agent-brain-folders 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 4d 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.

Manage Indexed Folders

Purpose

List, add, or remove folders from the Agent Brain index. Use this to inspect which folders are currently indexed, trigger indexing for new folders, or remove all chunks associated with a folder.

Usage

/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders list
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders add <path>
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders remove <path>

Parameters

Parameter Required Default Description
action Yes - list, add, or remove
path For add/remove - Path to the folder
--yes No false Skip confirmation for remove
--include-code No false Include code files (for add)
--include-type No - File type presets, e.g., python,docs (for add)
--chunk-size No 512 Target chunk size in tokens (for add)
--force No false Force re-indexing, bypass manifest (for add)
--watch No off Watch mode: auto (file watching) or off (for add)
--debounce No 30 Debounce interval in seconds for file watching (for add)
--json No false Output as JSON (for list, add, remove)

Examples

/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders list
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders add ./docs
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders add ./src --include-code
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders add ./src --include-type python,docs
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders add ./docs --force
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders add ./src --watch auto --debounce 10
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders remove ./old-docs
/agent-brain:agent-brain-folders remove ./old-docs --yes

Execution

Based on the action parameter:

List Folders

Show all indexed folders with chunk counts and last indexed timestamps:

agent-brain folders list

Add Folder (triggers indexing)

Queue an indexing job for the specified folder. Add supports all index options:

agent-brain folders add <path>
agent-brain folders add <path> --include-code
agent-brain folders add <path> --include-type python,docs
agent-brain folders add <path> --include-code --force

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.
