What it does

Vault is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Ingest raw sources (standups, ops reports, transcripts, URLs) into interlinked wiki pages, lint vault health, consolidate duplicate pages, or show the ingest backlog. Use when the user wants notes turned into knowledge, duplicates merged, or a vault health check.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/tests/test-vault.sh`, `scripts/vault-lint-links.sh` and `scripts/vault-next-source.sh`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Linting and formatting and Meeting notes and agendas. It works with PostHog. The repository describes itself as: My dotfiles and scripts I use on dev machines.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants notes turned into knowledge
  • Duplicates merged
  • A vault health check

Example prompts

  • “/vault”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the source, then PostHog/Home.md, then only the wiki pages the source plausibly touches — index-first navigation, never a bulk scan.
  2. Rewrite or create the affected wiki pages, bounded to ~10-15 pages per source. Distill, don't transcribe: capture decisions, facts, and…
  3. Append the ledger entry to PostHog/log.md — it MUST contain the source's backtick-wrapped vault-relative path, extension included (that…
  4. Report: source, pages updated/created, anything deliberately skipped.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ffed9. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • vault

    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 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,057 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,057 words (~2,056 tokens).

“The knowledge loop over the PostHog work vault at ~/dev/haacked/notes/PostHog (paths below are relative to ~/dev/haacked/notes). The schema (raw vs wiki vs working docs, the log rules) lives in PostHog/CLAUDE.md — read it before any operation. The operations log PostHog/log.md…”
