At a glance

Show a compact EchoesVault status card and report protocol, adapter, storage, metadata, index, conflict, and scalability health.

  • The user asks for EchoesVault status
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Statistics

What it does

Echoes Status is an agent skill from psinetron/echoes-vault-codex. Show a compact EchoesVault status card and report protocol, adapter, storage, metadata, index, conflict, and scalability health. Use when the user asks for EchoesVault status, dashboard, health, statistics, integrity, size, compatibility, or scalability.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Persistent memory plugin for Codex. Obsidian-style knowledge base that survives across sessions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for EchoesVault status
  • Tasks that involve Statistics

Example prompts

  • “/echoes-status”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0b8ff17. 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

Echoes Status loads about 596 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 245 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
~596

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
Show a compact EchoesVault status card and report protocol, adapter, storage, metadata, index, conflict, and scalability health. Use when the user asks for EchoesVault status, dashboard, health, statistics, integrity, size, compatibility, or scalability.

Report EchoesVault status

Resolve <workspace> as the Git root when one exists, otherwise the current working directory. Resolve <plugin-root> as the parent of the skills/ directory that contains this SKILL.md. Use the bundled <plugin-root>/scripts/echoes_vault.py as the read-only launcher. It delegates to a compatible project runtime, but deliberately does not install, upgrade, migrate, hydrate, or repair anything during inspection.

First run the user-facing card command:

text
python3 <plugin-root>/scripts/echoes_vault.py --workspace <workspace> inspect --format card

The inspect command validates page metadata and compares the deterministic index entirely in memory. It must not change any file. Never rebuild the index by asking the model to read every page.

Return that card, translated to the user's language when helpful. If the card reports an integrity problem, run the JSON command for details:

text
python3 <plugin-root>/scripts/echoes_vault.py --workspace <workspace> inspect

Briefly explain only the reported problems. Cover:

  • initialization and session state;
  • total size and file count;
  • page, index-topic, and daily-log counts;
  • required structure, protocol/runtime adapters, runtime state, page frontmatter, symbolic links, and unreadable files;
  • duplicate index entries, empty descriptions, orphan pages, and missing linked pages;
  • unresolved Git conflict markers and deterministic index build errors.
  • Git readiness, including durable untracked/ignored files and accidentally tracked local state;
  • legacy OpenCode adapter conflicts and exact suggested Git commands.

If scaleAlert is true, append:

text
> [!warning] SCALE ALERT
> The vault exceeds 200 pages. Prefer targeted search and consider hybrid retrieval.

Do not inspect or alter the architectural meaning of knowledge pages. If the user explicitly asks to refresh local generated data, run hydrate through the project runtime separately. If a legacy vault is reported, ask the user to run the echoes-init workflow; status must not migrate it.
