vault-sync

vault-sync is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance procedure for finding and repairing differences between an OKF knowledge vault and the code it documents. The vault is a structured store of system knowledge, while drift means the documentation no longer matches the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after significant code changes, during scheduled staleness reviews, or when documentation is suspected to be wrong. It checks vault metadata, identifies affected concepts, updates them, and records the sync.
Why use it?
It helps keep technical knowledge accurate after changes to schemas, interfaces, workflows, or agent configuration. It limits updates to concepts affected by the change and records what was synchronised.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Not installable on its own: it runs a file from its repository that does not travel with it. Clone the repository, or install whatever ships that file. The line is node knowledge-vault/scripts/validate-vault.mjs --vault <vault>.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vault-sync scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Vault Sync Skill

TEMPLATE: This skill uses {{PLACEHOLDER}} tokens. Replace with your project values before use.

Purpose

Keep an OKF knowledge vault honest as the code evolves. The vault is a map of the system; this skill detects drift between map and territory, regenerates only the affected concepts, and records the sync.

When This Skill Applies

Invoke this skill when:

  • A significant change merged — schema, public interfaces, CI workflows, agent or skill config
  • A staleness review is due (the stale-concepts Base is the queue)
  • The user asks to sync, refresh, or update the knowledge vault
  • A concept is suspected of being wrong

Key Files

Path Role
<vault>/_meta/vault-config.json Machine-readable constitution — types, tags, frontmatter contract
<vault>/_meta/CONVENTIONS.md The human-readable rules
<vault>/_meta/manifest.json ID registry, reverse index, and baseline_sha drift watermark
<vault>/_meta/templates/ Per-type skeletons
<vault>/log.md Dated changelog
knowledge-vault/scripts/validate-vault.mjs The gate

Procedure

1. Detect drift

Read the baseline and diff it to HEAD across the watch-list — the source paths your concepts claim to describe. Configure this list for your project; the example below is illustrative.

BASELINE=$(node -e "console.log(require('./<vault>/_meta/manifest.json').baseline_sha)")
git diff --name-only "$BASELINE"..HEAD -- \
  'src/**' 'lib/**' 'config/**' '.github/workflows/**' 'docs/**'

A concept is stale if and only if a changed path matches its resource or an entry in its sources. Check the manifest first (it is the reverse index); grep concept frontmatter as backup.

This is file-level truth. Do not substitute a time-based heuristic — "older than N days" flags everything and teaches people to ignore the flag.

2. Detect inventory changes

Re-enumerate your source globs and diff against the manifest.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

consistency-check

Scan all GDDs against the entity registry to detect cross-document inconsistencies: same entity with different stats, same item with different values, same formula with different variables. Grep-first approach — reads registry then targets only conflicting GDD sections rather than full document reads.
