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 B, and why

brain-log scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Show the user their brain's sync history.

Steps

  1. Read the merge log:

    cat ~/.claude/brain-repo/meta/merge-log.json 2>/dev/null
    
  2. If the file doesn't exist or is empty, tell the user: "No sync history yet."

  3. Otherwise, display the most recent entries in reverse chronological order. Default to 20 entries, but if $ARGUMENTS is a number, use that instead.

    Format each entry as:

    [timestamp] machine_name (action): summary
    

    Example:

    [2026-03-03T12:05:00Z] work-laptop (pull+merge): Merged 3 machine snapshots
    [2026-03-03T11:00:00Z] home-desktop (push): Exported brain snapshot
    [2026-03-02T09:30:00Z] work-laptop (evolve): Promoted 2 patterns to CLAUDE.md

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-log is a skill published in the GitHub repository toroleapinc/claude-brain (85 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 239 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
