status

A skill for checking the health of a project-brain vault. The vault is a collection of Markdown notes containing captured project knowledge, activity, and archived transcripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need counts, recent activity, capture status, or lint results for the project-brain vault.
Why use it?
It shows whether the knowledge store is initialized, up to date, compiled correctly, and free of lint findings such as dead links or stale notes.

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

status 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Brain status

Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/brain status and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/brain lint, then summarize for the user:

  • Vault location and whether it's initialized (if not, offer to run brain init).
  • Counts: project pages, topics, session notes, archived transcripts.
  • Recent activity from the log (last few lines — what the distiller/compile did lately).
  • Any lint findings, with a one-line suggestion each (dead link → fix or remove; stale note → review or re-verify; unindexed page → recompile).
  • If the newest archive is much older than the user's recent activity would suggest, flag that capture may not be running (hooks not installed or plugin disabled).
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.
