# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Pickbrain

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `pickbrain`.

## What this CLI is for
Recall past coding-agent sessions, search pi, codex, and claude history, and local semantic memory from the terminal. Built by Geet Khosla. Start with `pickbrain doctor` and go from there. Runs entirely on your machine.

Best for: recall past coding-agent sessions, search pi, codex, and claude history, and local semantic memory from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Usable with guardrails (60/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.
- Can run locally with less credential exposure.

## Install
```sh
git clone https://github.com/gvkhosla/pickbrain.git && cd pickbrain && make pickbrain-install
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
pickbrain --version
```
Expected signal: pickbrain responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
pickbrain --version
```

```sh
pickbrain -q --type pi auth middleware
```

```sh
pickbrain doctor
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Pickbrain (`pickbrain`) for recall past coding-agent sessions, search pi, codex, and claude history, and local semantic memory from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
