What it does

Vault Update is an agent skill from pass-agent/loomkin. Process a work brain-dump and sync progress across the knowledge base

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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, covering Knowledge bases. 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 Knowledge bases

Example prompts

  • “/vault-update”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. vault_kanban(action: "search", search_term: "{item}") — check task board
  2. vault_search(query: "{item}") — broader search for related entries

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_kanban
    • vault_update_entry
    • vault_search
    • 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 Update loads about 314 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~314

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.

description
Process a work brain-dump and sync progress across the knowledge base
allowed-tools
vault_kanban, vault_update_entry, vault_search, vault_dashboard, ask_user

Process a work update and sync changes to kanban, milestones, and OKRs.

Parse Input

Identify:

  • Completions: Tasks finished
  • Progress: Work advancing existing items
  • Blockers: Things preventing progress
  • New work: Items not yet tracked

Match to Existing Items

For each item mentioned:

  1. vault_kanban(action: "search", search_term: "{item}") — check task board
  2. vault_search(query: "{item}") — broader search for related entries

If match confidence is low, use ask_user: "Is this the same as [existing item]?"

Apply Updates

  • Completions: vault_kanban(action: "complete", ...)
  • Progress: vault_kanban(action: "move", column: "in_progress", ...) if not already
  • Blockers: vault_update_entry on relevant entries to add blocker tag
  • New items: ask_user which project/priority, then vault_kanban(action: "add", ...)

Refresh

vault_dashboard(dashboard_type: "index") to regenerate the full dashboard.

Report: what was completed, updated, added, and any items needing clarification.
