second-brain-os: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/contact-log/SKILL.md

contact-log is a skill for Claude Code from the-sid-dani/second-brain-os. It costs 87 tokens per session (4,242 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A write-only contact record workflow that adds a new interaction to the matching contact's history and updates the date of the latest interaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record meetings, calls, or messages in the correct contact file while preserving existing background information, recurring topics, and commitments.
Why use it?
It keeps a contact's conversation history current without replacing earlier notes or other sections of the record.

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

contact-log 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

contact-log

Write-mode entity-keyed mutation. Append a new interaction entry to a matched contact's ## Interaction log section, auto-bump last_interaction frontmatter. Append-only — never rewrites prior entries, never touches About / Recurring topics / Open commitments.

Before you begin: read the Configuration section in root CLAUDE.md. Path tokens like <workspace.resources> resolve from there — don't hardcode.

Why this exists

Without /contact-log, a contact file is a static address book — populated once, then frozen. The Chief-of-Staff function (track who said what when) needs interaction history to compound. Each conversation adds a line; over months that line-set becomes the answer to "what did I promise last time?" and "when did we last sync?"

/contact-log is the write counterpart to /contact (read). Together they make the contacts directory alive — entity-keyed read AND entity-keyed append, with the locked schema preserved across both.

The schema (frontmatter fields, body sections, WikiLinks pattern, status enum) is defined in <workspace.root>/<workspace.resources>/contacts/README.md — read that first if you need schema details. This skill references the schema; it does not reproduce it.

When to use

Trigger phrases (write-mode signals — broad on purpose):

  • "/contact-log " / "/contact-log"
  • "log my 1:1 with " / "log my meeting with " / "log my call with "
  • "append interaction with " / "record my chat with "
  • "I just talked to " / "just spoke with , log it" / "had a sync with "
  • "wrote/promised/agreed with — log it"

The verb is the signal. Read-mode verbs ("who is", "what's my context with", "remind me about", "tell me about") fire /contact instead. Mutation verbs ("log", "append", "record", "talked-to", "spoke with") fire this skill.

Do NOT trigger for:

  • Read-only recall of a person — that's /contact. Phrases like "who is X again?", "context on Y".
  • Scaffolding a brand-new contact or editing other profile fields — handle as a separately approved direct edit after reading the canonical contacts README. This skill only appends interactions.
  • Writing to the daily log — /contact-log does NOT touch memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md. <user.name> writes the day's narrative to memory/ separately.

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.
