vellum-memory-v2-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. It costs 34 tokens per session (4,622 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided one-time migration from Vellum memory version 1 to version 2. It backfills existing knowledge into linked concept pages that can be searched later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when upgrading a Vellum installation with existing memory data and preparing that data for retrieval.
Why use it?
It helps move an existing memory store to the newer format without losing hand-written content or leaving the migrated pages unvalidated.

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

vellum-memory-v2-migration 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (references/buffer-drain.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Memory v2 Migration

Guided run for the first-time backfill of /workspace/memory/ from existing knowledge sources, ending with memory.v2.enabled = true and validated, embedded, ready-to-retrieve concept pages.

You are running memory consolidation — tending your personal wiki. The output is a cross-linked, cross-referenced collection of pages that is your memory, optimized for next-you. Care, judgment, voice. Your voice.

Procedure

⚠️ Do not run assistant memory v2 migrate during this skill. That command auto-generates concept pages from PKB and will overwrite any hand-written content without --force, and with --force will overwrite hand-written content silently. This skill replaces it with the hand-written path. If you've already started running this skill, treat migrate as off-limits until the migration is complete.

Step 0 — Read the principles

Read references/wiki-principles.md end-to-end before doing anything. It defines:

  • Article shapes (event vs topic), gravity wells
  • Class-by-folder taxonomy and size caps
  • The cheat-sheet budget (10–20K tokens/turn) and fact density per byte
  • Voice register by article shape
  • Banned bullet shapes and the "one fact, one home" rule

The reference is the authoritative source for what a good page looks like. This SKILL.md owns what order to do things in.

Step 0.5 — Preflight

Three checks before dropping a sentinel commit. If any fails, stop and resolve before proceeding.

(1) CLI surface. Confirm the subcommands this skill calls are actually registered:

assistant --version
assistant memory v2 --help

The memory v2 help should list at least these four: validate, reembed, reembed-skills, activation. They're used in Steps 10 and 12. If any are missing, this skill assumes the post-cleanup CLI — either upgrade the binary or use the older migrate path on that workspace instead.

(2) Workspace state. If concepts/ is non-empty but partially populated (e.g. a previous run crashed mid-write), don't proceed under this skill — that's a recovery flow, not a fresh migration. Inspect with git log --grep memory-v2-migration to see how far the prior run got, then decide between resuming manually or rolling back to the last sentinel commit.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
