Launch the Brain Monitor TUI, a real-time terminal dashboard for watching Claudia's memory system.

  • Memory dashboard
  • SKILL.md covers Launch, Report to User and Tone
  • Calls npm

What it does

Brain Monitor is an agent skill from kbanc85/claudia. Launch the Brain Monitor TUI, a real-time terminal dashboard for watching Claudia's memory system. Triggers on "brain monitor", "show dashboard", "memory dashboard", "terminal brain". See also: brain for a 3D graph view in the browser.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Terminal-based AI chief of staff. Remembers relationships, tracks commitments, helps you think strategically. Runs on Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Memory dashboard

Example prompts

  • “s memory system. Triggers on”
  • “show dashboard”
  • “memory dashboard”
  • “/brain-monitor”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63cec. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Monitor loads about 319 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~319

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 85 words (~319 tokens).

“Launch the Brain Monitor, a live terminal dashboard showing real-time memory activity.”
