What it does

Vault is an agent skill from egroup-labs/kept. Search, read, write, and manage files in the Kept conversation vault. Use when the user asks about past conversations, wants to save notes, needs to find specific content, or wants to organize their vault.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 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. It works with Model Context Protocol, Obsidian and Chrome Extensions. The repository describes itself as: Search, archive, and recall your AI conversations. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Kimi. Local-first, MIT licensed. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Search before creating. Always grep_vault or list_vault to check if content already exists before writing new files.
Confirm destructive operations. Before delete_file or move_file, tell the user what you're about to do and get confirmation.
Cite sources. When referencing content from vault files, cite by conversation title and file path.
Respect structure. Vault uses provider/conversation-title.md layout (e.g., claude/my-chat.md, chatgpt/session.md). Follow this when…
Use grep for content questions. "Did we discuss X?" → grep_vault. "What's in this file?" → read_file. "What files exist?" → list_vault.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c81d59f. 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

Vault loads about 372 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~372

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.
