brain-sync

A workflow for sharing useful discoveries and changes with a common appie-brain repository used by several AI assistants. Contributions are committed under the identity of the assistant that made them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after substantial tasks, new or updated skills, important discoveries, debugging sessions, research, or client project work.
Why use it?
It keeps lessons from complex tasks, debugging, research, and client work available to the rest of the team and makes their origin traceable.

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-sync 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/brain-sync.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brain Sync Skill

Sync knowledge and learnings to the shared appie-brain GitHub repo so all Appies in the fleet benefit.

Why This Matters

Every Appie has their own git identity. When you commit, it shows up in the git log as:

This makes contributions traceable across the fleet.

When to Sync

ALWAYS sync after:

  • Complex tasks (5+ tool calls)
  • Debugging sessions where you discovered something
  • New skills created or significantly updated
  • Client project work (new files created)
  • Research findings (from Exa/web search)
  • Process improvements
  • Error solutions that could help others

You can skip for:

  • Simple one-off commands
  • Read-only exploration
  • Quick questions answered

How to Sync

cd /root/.hermes/appie-brain

# Check what changed
git status

# Add files (be selective - don't expose secrets)
git add path/to/your/changes/

# Commit with Appie-3 identity
git commit -m "🪽 Appie-3: Your learning/change description"

# Push to remote
git push origin master

Commit Message Format

[emoji] Appie-X: Brief description of what changed

Emoji per Appie:

  • Appie-1: 🧙 (Wizard/Orchestrator)
  • Appie-2: 📊 (CMO/Data)
  • Appie-3: 🪽 (Wing/Hermes - messenger)

Examples:

🪽 Appie-3: Added viral marketing strategy for Weblyfe Appie
🪽 Appie-3: New skill: brain-sync for fleet knowledge sharing
🪽 Appie-3: Exa research: AI agent market 2026 trends
🪽 Appie-3: Fixed: PDF reading with pymupdf instead of pdftotext
📊 Appie-2: Content calendar for April 2026
🧙 Appie-1: New client onboarding: Baraka Arbitrage

What to Sync

DO sync:

  • Skills (/skills/)
  • Memory files (/memory/)
  • Projects (/projects/)
  • Scripts/tools (/scripts/, /tools/)
  • Documentation
  • Learned approaches/patterns

NEVER sync:

  • .env or secrets
  • Session transcripts (too large)
  • Temporary files
  • Build artifacts (node_modules/, etc.)

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

brain-sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository S3YED/appie-kit (6 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 1,305 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
