Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00096 | $0.00857 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00343 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
previous-work 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 28d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Previous Work
Raw transcript archaeology across pi, Cursor, and Claude Code. For distilled
lessons, AGENTS.local.md Learnings is already in context (memory
skill) - check it first; only dig transcripts when you need what actually
happened.
Ranked recall first
The remember tool (extension extensions/memory/) indexes pi's own sessions
into an FTS5 store, ~4 ms a query, newest turns re-indexed automatically. Use
it before rg:
remembersearch "firecracker lima mac" - ranked turns with snippets, dates, and the session file to reopen. Tolerates typos; the last word also matches as a prefix. An exchange is one row, so a question and its answer surface together.rgis for raw archaeology: every occurrence, exact strings, and the Cursor and Claude Code stores, which the index does not cover.
The store is derived, never synced, and lives at .pi/agent/memory.db. If it
looks empty or stale, remember action index rebuilds it (about a second for
400 sessions).
Where sessions live
| Agent | Path | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| pi | .pi/agent/sessions/*.jsonl |
timestamp + uuid filenames |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/projects/Users-scott-Desktop-brayness/agent-transcripts/<uuid>/<uuid>.jsonl |
one dir per chat |
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/projects/-Users-scott-Desktop-brayness*/*.jsonl |
one store per cwd |
Notes:
- Claude fragments by working directory:
work/realnesssessions live in-Users-scott-Desktop-brayness-work-realness, etc. Older stores named-Users-scott-Desktop-brain*(previous harness names) hold early work. - Cursor keeps one store per opened folder under
~/.cursor/projects/; project windows likework/realnesshave their own.
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.

previous-work is a skill published in the GitHub repository scott-fryxell/brayness (125 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 857 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
