What it does
Schema Unify is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. Migrate a brain from inbrain-base (or any pack) to inbrain-base-v2's 14-canonical-type taxonomy via inbrain onboard --check + the unify-types Minion handler. Collapses 94 noisy types to 15 canonical with subtypes, alias rows, and link rows. Triggers when an agent notices packupgradeavailable, typeproliferation, or asks "what is the canonical taxonomy / how do I clean up my page types".
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
When your agent uses it
- An agent notices packupgradeavailable
- Typeproliferation
- Asks what is the canonical taxonomy / how do I clean up my page types
Example prompts
- “what is the canonical taxonomy / how do I clean up my page types”
- “/schema-unify”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Discovery
- Preview
- Apply
- Verify
- Post-migration
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
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
Schema Unify loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 955 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 955 words (~2,744 tokens).
“v0.41.22 ships inbrain-base-v2 — a 15-type DRY/MECE taxonomy (14 canonical + note catch-all) — as the install default for new brains. Existing brains on inbrain-base can opt in via the pack_upgrade_available onboard finding + the unify-types PROTECTED Minion handler.”
