brain-ingest

brain-ingest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mindmuxai/brain.md. It costs 48 tokens per session (936 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A process for turning conversations, documents, or research into structured, reusable knowledge in a project's brain system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify information, choose the right knowledge page, and record or update it through the brain command-line tool.
Why use it?
It prevents useful decisions and findings from remaining scattered or being stored in the wrong place.

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-ingest 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

brain-ingest

This skill is about "turning scattered input into structured brain knowledge". The input can be a conclusion from a conversation, an external document, a piece of research, or the decisions behind a set of code changes. The goal is to land that knowledge in the right place, the right category, and the right structure — and to write it through the brain CLI so it is correct by construction.

Reach for this process not only when explicitly asked to "ingest" something. The brain is the project's persistent memory (see BRAIN.md), so trigger it proactively whenever knowledge crystallizes — a decision settled in discussion, a requirement or constraint agreed, an insight that will still matter in six months. Capture it as it surfaces rather than waiting to be told.

Every read and write below is a brain CLI subcommand (list-pages / read-page / read-root to read; create-page / update-truth / … to write). The command details and the category taxonomy live in the brain-page skill — read it before creating or modifying any page.

NEVER hand-edit any file under the brain directory. All reads and writes MUST go through the brain CLI. Manual edits are unsupported and illegitimate. There is no validator and nothing at the file layer can catch a bad manual edit; correctness is guaranteed only by going through the CLI, so a hand edit silently breaks the brain's invariants.

Process

1. Break down the input

Split the input into individual atomic knowledge points. A knowledge point = one judgment / fact / decision that stands on its own. Ignore purely procedural chatter.

2. Place each knowledge point (see "Choosing where to write" in BRAIN.md)

  • Changes the project's overall positioning / architecture / stack / roadmap → rewrite the corresponding root page with brain update-root <slug> (background / architecture / flow / mindmap / stack / roadmap).
  • About a specific entity (a decision / concept / person / reference / sub-project) → create or update a page.
  • It's common for one knowledge point to touch both — write to both sides.

brain-ingest is a skill published in the GitHub repository mindmuxai/brain.md (531 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 936 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
