| description | Use this skill to save, recall, or organize information in the vault — the personal knowledge base. Triggers include: 'save this', 'remember this', 'add to vault', 'log this decision', 'what did we decide about X', 'find in my vault', 'recall', 'document this', 'knowledge base', 'where did I put', 'organize my notes', or any request to persist or retrieve personal context across sessions. Also use when the user wants to capture a decision with its rationale for future reference. |
AI Maker Vault
Long-term memory management, knowledge save/recall, and vault organization for AI Maker users. This skill helps you store what matters, retrieve it when needed, and keep your vault from becoming a graveyard.
When to invoke
Use this skill when you need to:
- Save a decision, proposal, or reference for future retrieval
- Recall something you know you saved but can't find
- Organize your vault: consolidate duplicates, create structure
- Document a decision with its rationale for future reference
- Build a personal knowledge base entry from a conversation
What it does
- Save — structures and writes vault entries in the correct category folder (how-to, proposals, references, decisions)
- Recall — searches vault content for relevant prior context given a current question
- Organize — suggests vault structure improvements, identifies duplicates, consolidates scattered notes
- Decision logging — captures a decision with: what was decided, why, alternatives considered, and who decided
- Knowledge extraction — pulls key learnings from a conversation or document and formats them as a vault entry
Vault structure
vault/
├── how-to/ (procedures, instructions, playbooks)
├── proposals/ (active and past proposals)
├── references/ (links, specs, source material)
└── decisions/ (decision log with rationale)
Key behaviors
- Dated entries — every saved item includes a date so decay is traceable
- Retrieval-optimized — entries are written to be findable, not just saveable (clear titles, tags where appropriate)
- Minimal friction — saving should take seconds, not a filing session
- Decay-aware — notes when a saved item may be stale and should be reviewed
Output formats
- Vault entry (markdown file, ready to save)
- Decision log entry (structured: decision / rationale / alternatives / owner / date)
- Recall response: what the vault contains relevant to the question
- Vault audit: inventory of what's there, what's stale, what's missing
Scope
This skill covers vault read/write and knowledge management for AI Maker. It does not commit to GitHub — for sync, use Red Pill git workflow.
