About the project

Vellum Assistant is a personal AI assistant that remembers information about users, learns their preferences, and takes actions across connected apps. It is intended for people who want an assistant that can manage conversations, unfinished work, and proactive notifications over time. The catalogue skills, hooks, instruction, and setting configure or extend how the assistant works.

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

linear-app-setup scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Set up a Linear agent app so the assistant operates under its own identity in a Linear workspace — creating issues, commenting, updating status, etc. as itself.

Linear agent apps act as their own entity in the workspace. They're free (don't count as billable users), can be @mentioned, and can be delegated issues.

Total manual effort: ~3 interactions — create the app, grab the API key, (optionally) upload an avatar.

Prerequisites

  • User must be a workspace admin in Linear
  • User must be logged into Linear in their browser

Setup Flow

Step 1: Create the Application

Direct the user to create a new application:

Open https://linear.app/settings/api/applications/new to create a new application.

Guide them through the form:

Field Value
Application name The assistant's name. This is how the agent appears in mentions and filters.
Developer name The user's name or org name
Developer URL Any valid URL

Click Create when done.

Step 2: Generate an API Key for the App

After creating the app, the user should generate a personal API key scoped to this app identity. This is how the assistant authenticates — simpler and more reliable than the full OAuth token refresh flow.

Direct the user:

On the app's settings page, look for the option to create an API key for this application. Copy the key.

Prompt for the API key via secure UI:

assistant credentials prompt --service linear --field api_key \
  --label "Linear App API Key" \
  --placeholder "lin_api_xxxxxxxxxx" \
  --description "API key for your Linear app (used to authenticate API requests)" \
  --allowed-domains "api.linear.app" \
  --allowed-tools "bash" \
  --injection-templates '[{"hostPattern":"api.linear.app","injectionType":"header","headerName":"Authorization","valuePrefix":"Bearer "}]'

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.
