What it does

Brain Ops is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. Brain knowledge base operations. The core read/write cycle: brain-first lookup, read-enrich-write loop, source attribution, ambient enrichment, back-linking. Read this before any brain interaction.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Knowledge bases

Example prompts

  • “/brain-ops”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Brain-First Lookup (MANDATORY)
  2. On Every Inbound Signal (READ → ENRICH → WRITE)
  3. 5: Structured Graph Updates (automatic)
  4. On Every Outbound Response (READ → PULL → RESPOND)
  5. Ambient Enrichment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5231990. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Brain Ops loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 757 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 757 words (~1,542 tokens).

“The brain is not an archive. It is a live context membrane that every interaction flows through in both directions.”
