saya-team-brain

saya-team-brain is a skill for Claude Code from creative-int/saya-plugins. It costs 94 tokens per session (943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Usage instructions for querying Saya, a team's shared live knowledge base, through MCP. It helps an agent check team decisions, workspace context, norms, and whether information is verified or outdated.

In plain words
What is it for?
For checking team memory before answering, confirming existing workflows, distinguishing current facts from deprecated notes, and answering team-context questions.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when an answer depends on private team knowledge or past project decisions.

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

saya-team-brain 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 8d 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.

Saya — query the team brain

Saya is an AI teammate that lives with a team's operating knowledge. This plugin connects agents to Saya's live remote MCP endpoint:

https://saya-mcp.luke-nittmann.workers.dev/mcp

Use Saya when the best next move is to ask what the team already knows before inventing an answer. The useful posture is simple: before you guess, ask the team brain.

Use when

  • The user asks about team memory, decisions, project context, or workspace norms.
  • The answer depends on captured workspace history or shared team knowledge.
  • You need to check whether a skill, workflow, or convention already exists.
  • You are about to make a product or operating assumption that Saya may know.
  • You are about to edit public docs, release notes, runbooks, or prompts that should reflect the team's current decisions.
  • You need to distinguish verified team truth from candidate notes or deprecated memory.
  • The user asks "what does the team know?", "ask Saya", "ask the team", or a similar workspace-context question.

Don't use when

  • The task is fully answerable from the files already in the current workspace.
  • The user asks for a general public fact that does not depend on team context.
  • The query would require secrets, raw tokens, cross-workspace data, or private information outside the authenticated workspace.
  • You need an unapproved write. saya_act is curated, idempotent, and approval-first.

MCP tools

  • saya_context (saya.context) — bounded workspace-scoped reads of team knowledge, captured workspace context, decisions, skills, lifecycle status, and trust grades.
  • saya_act (saya.act) — curated, idempotent, approval-first save_memory.
  • saya_status (saya.status) — live readiness, auth posture, tool availability, and Convex bridge health for the MCP endpoint.

How to tap well

  1. Ask a focused question. Prefer "What has this team decided about X?" over "Tell me everything about X."
  2. Request the strongest truth first: verified decisions, human-reviewed memory, known conventions, then candidate context.
  3. Carry uncertainty forward. If Saya returns candidate or disputed material, say that in your answer and avoid treating it as production-safe truth.
  4. Re-query when the task changes. A release note, a code change, and a support reply may need different context slices.
  5. Use saya_act only when the user has clearly asked to save memory or record a decision. Never smuggle credentials, raw tokens, or private cross-workspace data into a write.

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.
