pulse

pulse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Bobby-cell-commits/open-brain-server. It costs 162 tokens per session (5,286 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that produces a scored health report for Open Brain's data pipeline, the flow that captures and processes information. It checks sources, runs, content mix, graph density, duplicates, and related measures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pipeline status, recent runs, source activity, graph connections, duplicate records, and suggested maintenance actions.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether information is being captured reliably and whether the resulting data is balanced and clean.

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

pulse 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 5d 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.

/pulse — Pipeline & Data Health Report

Produce a comprehensive health and metrics report for Open Brain's pipeline infrastructure and data quality. Rubric-scored assessments, cross-metric pattern detection, cross-run memory, and concrete suggested actions.

Arguments

Parse from user message:

  • days: Integer, default 7. The reporting period in days. Usage: /pulse or /pulse 14.

Set N = days value for all tool calls below. Set TODAY = current date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Phase 1: Data Gathering

Call all 9 MCP tools in parallel. There are no dependencies between them.

Parallel calls:

  1. pipeline(type="health") — source status + active alerts

  2. pipeline(type="runs", days=N) — run history for the period

  3. thought_stats(days=N) — current period type/theme/source/topic breakdown

  4. thought_stats(days=N*2) — double-window stats (subtract current period to derive prior period)

  5. analyze(type="density") — graph connectivity at 4 thresholds (0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85)

  6. analyze(type="hubs", min_connections=5) — cluster nuclei

  7. dedup_review(limit=30) — duplicate candidates + zone histogram

  8. pipeline(type="merges", days=N) — recent merge operations

  9. analyze(type="sources") — per-source counts + cross-source similarity pairs

  10. Read TRACKER.md — extract the shipped milestones table (date + what was built) and Feature Status sections (feature name + status). Focus on items shipped within the last 14 days. This context feeds into Section 6.5.

  11. Glob research/pulse/*.md, sort filenames descending, skip any file matching TODAY's date, take the first match. Read its YAML frontmatter and extract the findings array. If no prior report exists or the prior report has no findings array, set prior_findings to an empty list.

  12. Read research/pulse/BASELINE.md (if it exists). Parse YAML to extract suppress and force lists. If the file does not exist, set both lists to empty.

Items 11-12 have no dependencies on MCP tool calls — run them in parallel with everything else.

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.

pulse is a skill published in the GitHub repository Bobby-cell-commits/open-brain-server (8 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 162 tokens to every session and 5,286 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
