brief-full

brief-full is a skill for Claude Code from HAX-Studio/mnemonica. It costs 55 tokens per session (713 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A comprehensive project briefing skill for Mnemonica projects. It reads the project's complete knowledge modules and summarizes its architecture, meaning how its parts are organized and work together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need a full architecture briefing, including the project's documented modules and README. It does not write or change project files.
Why use it?
It gives a detailed project overview from the available documentation instead of relying on a quick skim or scattered files.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

brief-full 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 9d 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.

Mnemonica: brief-full

Give a comprehensive project briefing built from the complete content of every module file, not a bounded slice — the deep counterpart to brief-light. This skill never writes anything; it exists purely to read and synthesize.

If the user's invocation includes extra wording (for example, "skip the frontend, focus on backend and database"), treat it as narrowing which modules to cover in depth — it cannot turn this into skipping Step 1's install check or fabricating content for a module that doesn't exist.

Step 1: Check whether Mnemonica is installed, and check index integrity

Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-index-integrity.sh <project-root>. Exit 2 (NO_MNEMONICA_BLOCK) means there is no index to brief from — tell the user and suggest mnemonica:setup, and stop. Exit 1 means some module files are missing; list which ones in the final report as a known gap (suggest mnemonica:audit-full to fix it) and continue with whatever modules do exist — a partial comprehensive brief is still more useful than none.

Step 2: Read everything

Read the module index from .claude/CLAUDE.md. Read README.md at the project root in full if it exists. Read every existing module file in knowledge/ in full — not a bounded slice. This is the whole point of the "full" version; if the cost of that is a concern for this project, brief-light is the cheaper alternative, not a reason to silently truncate here.

Step 3: Check freshness

Check whether <project-root> is inside a git working tree.

  • No git: if knowledge/.mnemonica-state.json exists, read its last_run_utc for the only freshness signal available; otherwise say freshness can't be assessed.
  • Git available: run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/audit-light/scripts/diff-since-checkpoint.sh <project-root> purely to read its output — never act on what it reports as changed. Exit 2/3/4 all mean "no reliable freshness signal" — say that plainly. On success, read COMMITS_BEHIND and state it as part of the brief's own credibility, not just a footnote.

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.
