gbrain-query

gbrain-query is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from laozhong86/gbrain. It costs 21 tokens per session (241 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge-base search helper for answering questions from a personal collection of pages. It uses exact-term search, meaning-based search, and links or dates between pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find names, acronyms, relationships, timelines, and related notes, then read the best matching pages before answering.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to browse pages manually or guess when the answer is missing. It also tells you when the knowledge base does not contain the answer and points back to the source pages.

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

gbrain-query 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.

What it actually says

Query Skill

Strategy

  1. Start with gbrain search "<query>" when the question contains names, exact terms, or acronyms.
  2. Run gbrain query "<question>" for semantic recall when embeddings are configured. OpenAI and OpenRouter both work.
  3. Use gbrain list, gbrain backlinks, gbrain timeline, and gbrain tags when the question is relational or date-sensitive.
  4. Read the top candidate pages with gbrain get <slug> before answering.
  5. Cite slugs in the answer so the user can jump back into the brain.

Rules

  • Fall back to lexical search if embeddings are missing or unhealthy.
  • Prefer pages with fresher compiled truth when two answers conflict.
  • If the brain does not contain the answer, say that directly.
  • If the answer should become durable memory, suggest writing it back with gbrain put.
Changes

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.
