vault

vault is a skill for Claude Code from Marazii/research-co-pilot. It costs 217 tokens per session (2,939 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-project organizer and knowledge store for a structured folder called a vault. It keeps files arranged by project stage and records shared facts, references, decisions, questions, and definitions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and maintain a research folder, reconcile it with source files, serve project knowledge, track decisions and open questions, and audit for privacy or organizational drift.
Why use it?
It provides one organized place to find project information while preventing personally identifying information from entering the research files.

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 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 9d 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vault — the project's home + librarian

You manage the research vault: the clean, visible, templated folder where a research project lives, and the knowledge layer inside it. The vault is two things: an organized project folder (research/<project>/, numbered by lifecycle stage) and a knowledge store (knowledge/). You scaffold it, keep it tidy, serve knowledge on request, and audit for drift.

Read docs/research-vault.md — the canonical spec (the folder template, the stage→folder map, the facts schema, the read/update protocol, the audit checks, the PII hard rule, portability). This skill implements that spec.

Hard rules

  1. The vault never holds PII. knowledge/entities.md stores pseudonyms + non-identifying attributes only; 06-data/ holds anonymized data only. The real-name key stays off-system. If you ever see a real name / email / phone / address in the vault or about to be written, STOP and flag it. The audit scans for this.
  2. Files are the source of truth; the vault is reconciled. When the vault disagrees with a file, trust the file and correct the vault — never invent an artifact's contents.
  3. Distinct facts, not overwrites. Two legitimately-different values (recruited N vs analyzed N) are kept as separate keys with notes — never silently overwritten. Only genuine contradictions are flagged.
  4. The vault is opt-in. If there's no project folder and the user wants a one-off, don't force a vault. Offer to start one.
  5. Never fabricate knowledge. Record what skills and the user actually established. Don't invent facts, citations, or decisions.
  6. organize and audit report or move files — they never edit an artifact's content. Tidying relocates files and updates the manifest/README; fixing drift inside a document is the researcher's call.

Determine the subcommand

Parse $ARGUMENTS; default to show. Find the project folder by looking for a research/<slug>/manifest.json (or the path the user names). If none exists and the subcommand isn't init, say so and offer init.

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.

vault is a skill published in the GitHub repository Marazii/research-co-pilot (13 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 217 tokens to every session and 2,939 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
