Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

your-vault 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your Vault Skill

Source of truth: AGENTS.md in the vault root. This skill is the compact operating guide, not a replacement.

Vault Path

Set this after installation:

~/YourVault

If the vault also runs in a container or VPS, document that path in Agents/Vault Sync.md.

Session Start

For vault-related work, read in order:

  1. VAULT.md
  2. AGENTS.md
  3. NOW.md
  4. !1 Work Log/<today>.md, if it exists
  5. AI-Learnings/AI Rules.md
  6. For project work: Projects/<Project>/Context.md
  7. For project work: Projects/<Project>/HANDOFF.md
  8. For Knowledge writes: Knowledge/SCHEMA.md

Answer current-state questions from files, not memory.

Session End

Before ending a meaningful project session, update:

  1. NOW.md
  2. Projects/<Project>/HANDOFF.md
  3. !1 Work Log/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Use this handoff entry:

## YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM - <Agent Name>
**What was done:** ...
**Current state:** ...
**You must do next:** ...
**Watch out:** ...

If these files were not updated, the session is not complete.

TODO Routing

Task type Destination
Actionable now NOW.md
Later Backlog.md
Project-specific Project HANDOFF.md
Raw unsorted idea Inbox/YYYY-MM-DD-short-title.md
Architecture decision Decisions/YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md

Never leave real TODOs only in chat.

Work Log vs Briefings

  • !1 Work Log/ is for human and agent sessions.
  • !2 Briefings/ is for bot outputs and automated reports.
  • Changelog.md is for structural vault changes.

Vault Sync

Before edits:

bash scripts/vault-prep.sh

After edits:

bash scripts/vault-finish.sh --push "vault: short description" file1 file2

If Git has a conflict, stop and report it. Do not overwrite user work.

Run bash scripts/vault-health.sh to check core files, wiki-links, active-project rows, work-log continuity, and stale handoffs.

Knowledge

Before writing in Knowledge/, read Knowledge/SCHEMA.md.

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.
