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

brain-dump 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.

Usage

/brain-dump <content>

This command is designed for deeper reflection and stream-of-consciousness capture. It extracts atomic observations and stages them in inbox/raw/.

Workflow

1. Collect Raw Input

Accept any format:

  • Stream of consciousness
  • Voice-to-text output
  • Bullet points
  • Rambling paragraphs

No filtering, no judgment — capture everything exactly as provided.

2. Content Analysis

Internal analysis (not written to file):

  • Main Themes: [3-5 primary topics]
  • Supporting Ideas: [related concepts]
  • Action Items: [tasks identified if any]

3. Observation Extraction

Extract atomic observations from the raw content, categorizing each.

Process:

  1. Identify distinct statements in the raw input.
  2. For each statement, determine the most appropriate category: fact, idea, decision, technique, requirement, question, insight, problem, solution, action.
  3. Format as structured observations: - [category] content #tag1 #tag2.
  4. Suggest 2-3 relevant tags per observation (AI-suggested based on context).

Rules:

  • Each observation must be atomic (single subject-verb-object).
  • Present extractions to the user for confirmation if they are complex.

4. Domain and Theme Detection

Analyze content to detect target domain and themes.

  • Segment content by topic shifts (paragraph breaks, explicit markers like "Also...", domain changes).
  • Determine if the content should be split into multiple raw notes.

Multi-note detection: if content contains 3 or more distinct topics that are each independently note-worthy (self-contained, useful on their own), offer to split before writing any files.

Present a split preview:

Detected 3 distinct topics — each could be its own raw note:
  1. [Topic A] (domain: X, suggested type: concept) → inbox/raw/topic-a-YYYY-MM-DD.md
  2. [Topic B] (domain: Y, suggested type: decision) → inbox/raw/topic-b-YYYY-MM-DD.md
  3. [Topic C] (domain: X, suggested type: idea) → inbox/raw/topic-c-YYYY-MM-DD.md

Options:
  a) Create 3 separate raw notes (recommended)
  b) Capture as a single note

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.
