Brain Status

Display a quick dashboard of all projects in the Claude Brain graph — status, last activity, current focus, blockers.

Modes

• Dashboard (default, "brain status" / "show projects" / …): the per-project overview in "Dashboard Generation" below.
• Analytics ("brain stats" / "graph analytics" / "graph activity over time"): the aggregate counts in "Analytics (brain stats)" below.

Both resolve the graph path first (Prerequisites). Pick the mode from the trigger phrase; if ambiguous, default to Dashboard.

Prerequisites

Resolve the graph path per skills/_shared/path-resolution.md.

Dashboard Generation

1. List all projects. Glob for pages/Projects___*.md in the graph folder. Extract project names.

2. Read each project page selectively using the section-targeted-read pattern in skills/_shared/section-locator.md. For the dashboard you only need:

   • status:: and last-updated:: properties (in the property block at offset 0, limit 10)
   • First bullet of ## Current Plan (current focus)
   • Last entry of ## Session Log (when last touched, with any open-questions::)

3. Apply staleness rules. Use skills/_shared/staleness.md to flag stale or abandoned projects.

4. Read cross-project decisions. Check pages/Decisions.md for entries from the last 30 days.

5. Read Meta date. Check pages/Meta.md last-updated:: only — don't read the whole file.

6. Present the dashboard. For each project: name, status, staleness annotation (if any), current focus, open questions/blockers. Then: recent cross-project decisions, total counts.

7. Write a journey-log entry per skills/_shared/journey-log.md with activity line: viewed dashboard.

Example Output

Here's your brain status:

**LogseqBrain** (active, last updated <yyyy-MM-dd>)
Currently: <first bullet of Current Plan>
No blockers.

**ChivalricQuest** (active, last updated <yyyy-MM-dd>)
Currently: No active plan yet.
No blockers.

2 projects tracked (2 active). No recent cross-project decisions.

Analytics (brain stats)

Read-only aggregate view. Writes nothing except the journey-log entry. Stay token-frugal — use skills/_shared/section-locator.md for targeted reads; never full-read project pages.

When counting, exclude template placeholder stubs — the italic markers a fresh brain-init page seeds, e.g. _Project-specific decisions._ under ## Decisions, _Session entries are added by brain-save._ under ## Session Log, and _No active plan yet._ under ## Current Plan. They denote an empty section, so a section that contains only its stub counts as 0, not 1.

1. Projects. Glob pages/Projects___*.md. Count total. Apply skills/_shared/staleness.md, then collapse its four levels into two buckets for the count: active = fresh + aging, stale = stale + abandoned.

2. Decisions. Count two distinct figures, because cross-project decisions are intentionally duplicated in both places (so never sum them): (a) cross-project decisions in pages/Decisions.md, and (b) decisions recorded on project pages (in their ## Decisions sections; this includes the project-page copy of any cross-project decision). Break each down by status:: value (e.g. accepted, superseded).

3. Sessions. For each project page, count real entries under ## Session Log (section-targeted read; skip the placeholder stub). Sum across projects.

4. Activity (recent window). Glob journals/*.md. For journals dated within the last 30 days (filename yyyy_MM_dd.md), count bullets under ## Activity. Report the total as the recent activity signal.

5. Present a compact block:

   Brain stats:
   
   Projects: <N> (<active> active, <stale> stale)
   Decisions: <P> on project pages, <X> cross-project (by status: <accepted> accepted, <superseded> superseded)
   Sessions logged: <S>
   Activity (last 30 days): <A> entries
   

6. Write a journey-log entry per skills/_shared/journey-log.md with activity line: viewed brain stats.

Important Notes

• Concise overview, not a deep load — bias toward fewer reads.
• If no projects yet: "Your brain is empty. Use 'init brain project [name]' to add your first project."
