brain-entry

brain-entry is a skill for Claude Code from davistroy/claude-marketplace. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A capture tool for Open Brain, an external service for storing personal notes and knowledge. It turns an instruction into a written capture, such as a session summary, decision, idea, or observation, and sends it to that service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize a session, log a decision, capture an idea, or record an event in Open Brain.
Why use it?
Useful information from coding sessions can remain trapped in chat or scattered across notes. This records selected items in one persistent knowledge store.

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-entry scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Brain Entry

Create a capture in Open Brain from any instruction. The argument tells you what content to generate and send.

Examples

/brain-entry summarize everything we have done so far in this session and send it to my open-brain
/brain-entry log a decision: we chose Cloudflare Email Routing for email ingestion because it adds zero infrastructure
/brain-entry capture this idea: add a weekly email digest that summarizes all captures from the past 7 days
/brain-entry record that I had a productive call with Butch about the CFA merger timeline

Implementation

Step 1: Generate the content

Based on the user's instruction in the arguments:

  • If the instruction says "summarize this session" or similar — review the full conversation context and produce a clear, structured summary of what was accomplished, decisions made, and outcomes.
  • If the instruction describes a decision, idea, observation, task, or other capture — write it up clearly and concisely.
  • If the instruction references specific context from the conversation — include the relevant details.

Write the content in first person (Troy's voice) since this is his personal knowledge base. Be substantive and specific — include names, dates, technical details, and outcomes. No filler.

Step 2: Classify the capture

Determine the best capture_type from: decision, idea, observation, task, win, blocker, question, reflection.

Determine the best brain_view from: career, personal, technical, work-internal, client.

Use your judgment based on the content. When in doubt, use observation and personal.

Step 3: POST to the captures API

Use the Bash tool with curl and a heredoc to POST to the captures API. Always use curl, not Python urllib — Cloudflare blocks Python's default user-agent with 403.

Use a heredoc for the JSON body to avoid shell escaping issues with quotes and newlines in the content. Bound the call with --max-time/--connect-timeout so a hung connection cannot block indefinitely, and capture the HTTP status alongside the body so success is verified before confirming anything to the user:
