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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00131 | $0.01907 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00052 | $0.00763 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00381 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00191 |
Grade A, and why
import 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 2mo 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/import — Re-home a previous brain's notes into this one (opt-in, non-destructive)
Brain-side skill. It brings the notes (and attachments) of a previous second brain — or any external Obsidian-style vault — into this brain's
vault/, safely. It copies only your content, never the old engine,.gitor.claude.⚠️ This is a thin conversational driver. All the real, testable work lives in the deterministic core
scripts/import-brain.mjs+scripts/lib/import-vault.mjs(ADR 0009/0019). This skill only asks for the source, shows the plan, confirms, runs the core, reindexes, and reports — it holds no logic of its own.
When to use it
Load this whenever the user wants to bring in notes from elsewhere, in plain language and in any language — no special vocabulary required:
- "importe / migre / rapatrie / récupère mes anciennes notes depuis
<chemin>" - "import / migrate / transport / recover my old (or previous) second brain"
- "I had a brain before v3 — bring its notes over"
🧬 Flavour, not a trigger (you never need to say it): we nickname this the Kenjaku move — transplanting a mind into a new vessel. It is pure lore for the README/prose. A user who has never heard of it must trigger the import with ordinary words — and they do.
Golden rule — OPT-IN, confirm before any write
The core's plan phase performs zero writes. Show the plan, then get an explicit yes before the apply phase copies anything. Importing other people's old notes into a brain is a conscious, accepted action.
What it touches vs NEVER touches
| Imported (your content) | NEVER touched |
|---|---|
the source vault's notes (.md) |
the old engine (rag/, launchers, scripts) |
| attachments (images/PDFs) travelling with them | the source's .git, .claude, .obsidian, dotfiles |
| subfolder structure + accented names (preserved) | your existing notes — a name collision is skipped, never overwritten |
demo / example notes (tags: [exemple]) — left behind |
|
this brain's .env, CLAUDE.md, settings, skills |
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.

import is a skill published in the GitHub repository tpierrain/kenjaku (96 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 131 tokens to every session and 1,907 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
