What it does

Vault Checkin is an agent skill from pass-agent/loomkin. Log a daily work check-in — records what was accomplished and syncs to task board

Its SKILL.md is about 360 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Task management. The repository describes itself as: What if AI agents could form teams as fluidly as humans? Spawn specialists in milliseconds, share discoveries in real-time, review each other's work, and remember everything… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Task management

Example prompts

  • “/vault-checkin”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): vault_create_entry, vault_update_entry, vault_kanban, vault_dashboard, ask_user

Workflow steps

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

  1. vault_kanban(action: "search", search_term: "{work_item}") to find matching tasks
  2. If a match has high confidence (similarity > 0.5), offer to mark complete
  3. If uncertain, use ask_user: "Is '{work item}' the same as '{kanban task}'?"
  4. Complete confirmed matches: vault_kanban(action: "complete", task_id: "...")

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f769ae7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • vault_create_entry
    • vault_update_entry
    • vault_kanban
    • vault_dashboard
    • ask_user

    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 Checkin loads about 363 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~363

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.

allowed-tools
vault_create_entry, vault_update_entry, vault_kanban, vault_dashboard, ask_user

Log what the user worked on today.

Identify Who

Look for indicators: "@brett", "@brandon", name mentions, or context clues. If unclear, use ask_user to confirm.

Parse Input

Extract:

  • Work items: Things accomplished or worked on
  • Blockers: Anything preventing progress (optional)
  • Notes: Additional context or thoughts (optional)

Create Check-in

vault_create_entry(entry_type: "checkin", entry_date: "{today}", author: "{person}", ...)

Content should include work items as a bulleted list, blockers section, and notes section.

If a checkin already exists for this person today, use vault_update_entry to append.

Match to Kanban

For each work item that sounds like a completion:

  1. vault_kanban(action: "search", search_term: "{work_item}") to find matching tasks
  2. If a match has high confidence (similarity > 0.5), offer to mark complete
  3. If uncertain, use ask_user: "Is '{work item}' the same as '{kanban task}'?"
  4. Complete confirmed matches: vault_kanban(action: "complete", task_id: "...")

Refresh

vault_dashboard(dashboard_type: "activity") to update the dashboard.

Report: checkin file created, work items recorded, kanban matches found/completed.
