vellum-memory-v3-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. It costs 63 tokens per session (5,770 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-time migration tool that reorganizes an existing Vellum memory version 2 collection into version 3's section-based wiki format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when upgrading a populated memory version 2 collection to version 3; it is not intended for an empty memory store.
Why use it?
It turns flat memory pages into articles with searchable sections while staging the changes and checking retrieval before the final switch.

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-v3-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 4d 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 — 252 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Memory v3 Migration

Reform an existing memory-v2 corpus into the memory-v3 wiki: a cross-linked set of topical articles where each article's lead is its retrieval card and each ## section is an independently retrievable unit. The assistant is the sole reader and editor of this knowledge base; the goal is a clean, well-organized wiki optimized for retrieval.

This skill is the successor to vellum-memory-v2-migration. That skill backfills an empty corpus from scratch; this one reorganizes a populated one. If concepts/ is empty, stop and run that skill instead.

What actually changes, and why it's two jobs

The mechanical cutover is cheap and mostly automatic: v3 reads the same memory/concepts/*.md tree, the schema is shared, the DB tables already exist, and section embeddings backfill on demand. The work is the reform. v3 retrieval is section-grain: the selector sees a compact card per candidate (the article's lead + its section names), and what reaches context is the best-matching ## section of each selected article in full (the lead when the article was selected without a section match). A section longer than the section index's chunk window (6000 characters, SECTION_CHUNK_CHARS) is indexed, keyed, and injected as independent chunks (Title, Title~1, ...), and the selector may pick any one of them, so a section that should travel as one unit stays under the window. Each injected section is frozen into the conversation once, re-selections point back at it with a one-line pointer, and every resident section is pruned by recency under one byte cap, with no exemptions for any lane. A flat v2 page (bullets, no ## headings, a summary: field v3 ignores) collapses under v3 into one giant lead with no sections: every selection injects the whole page, nothing narrower can match, and that one oversized block crowds the resident budget. So this skill does two things at once:

  1. Reshape each surviving page into the v3 article skeleton (lead + sections, flat slug, links: not edges:, optional current:).
  2. Re-organize the corpus — merge over-fragmented pages into topical articles under hubs, so the wiki is navigable, not a pile of stubs.

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.
