vault-memory

vault-memory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from turmyshevd/openclawgotchi. It costs 30 tokens per session (844 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for using an Obsidian vault—a folder of linked notes—as reliable project memory. It checks note details, links, and organization so stored knowledge can be found and reused.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps recall, organize, merge, and validate project knowledge stored in .workspace/knowledge/.
Why use it?
It helps prevent lost information, inconsistent note details, broken links, and duplicate notes.

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-memory 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 7d 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 Memory

Use this skill when the task is about remembering, recalling, organizing, deduplicating, or validating project knowledge stored in .workspace/knowledge/.

This skill is about memory quality, not visual note polish.

Goals

  1. Make recall reliable.
  2. Keep metadata internally consistent.
  3. Preserve stable links and note identities.
  4. Avoid creating duplicate notes when extending existing knowledge is better.

Mental Model

Treat the vault as four layers:

  1. inbox/ - raw intake log
  2. notes/ - atomic working knowledge
  3. projects/ and topics/ - hub/index layer
  4. frontmatter + links + tags - retrieval surface

If recall is poor, first inspect layer 4 before rewriting layer 2.

Required Invariants

Every operational note should have:

  • id
  • type
  • note_type
  • created
  • source
  • project
  • topic
  • status
  • tags

And these must stay consistent:

  • status must match a status/* tag if such tags are used
  • project should match the linked project hub when obvious
  • topic should match the linked topic hub when obvious
  • filenames, titles, and links should remain stable unless there is a strong reason to rename

Retrieval-First Rules

When writing or updating notes, optimize for future retrieval:

  1. Prefer explicit titles over clever titles.
  2. Put canonical terms in the title or first paragraph.
  3. Keep the first 2-4 lines dense with searchable meaning.
  4. Preserve important domain terms from the source text.
  5. If the note is about a named system, product, or workflow, mention that exact name early.
  6. If the same concept appears in multiple languages, keep the original wording somewhere in the note.

Duplicate Policy

Before creating a new note:

  1. Search the vault for the core entity and concept.
  2. If an existing note already owns the topic, extend it instead of creating a sibling.
  3. Only create a new note when the new material has a distinct purpose:
    • different artifact type
    • different project
    • different time-bounded report
    • different decision or workflow
