vellum-assistant

Read, search, send, and manage messages across Gmail, Outlook, Telegram, and other platforms

An on-demand personal daily briefing — weather, headlines, the shape of your day, and one thing worth your attention — in a sharp executive-assistant voice. The general-purpose morning brief; richer work or admin digests compose it as their general layer.

One-time migration of an existing memory-v2 concept corpus into the memory-v3 section-grain "wiki" — topical articles with a stand-alone lead and queryable sections — with loss-proof staging, assistant-reviewed authoring, and a retrieval-eval gate before cutover.

Delegate a big or high-stakes job to a fleet of parallel subagents, orchestrated deterministically; runs unattended and reports back

Manage contacts, communication channels, access control, and invite links

Build and edit small, personal visual tools and artifacts — dashboards, trackers, calculators, data visualizations, charts, simple landing pages, and slide decks the user wants for THEMSELVES. This is the right skill whenever the user asks to "visualize this," "make a chart," or "build an artifact" for their own use, or to edit an app they already built here. Do NOT reach for a ui_show dynamic_page to fake an artifact — build a real persistent app here. NOT for complex, multi-user, or shippable products — those go to a real project folder with a coding agent (see Scope below).

Configure periodic background checklist runs

Handle disk pressure, critically low storage, safe storage limits, and storage cleanup mode by inspecting disk usage and proposing safe cleanup steps.

Use whenever the user wants to write or draft an article, blog post, essay, report, or any long-form content. Creates the content in a rich text editor instead of dumping it in chat, so it can be streamed, reviewed, edited, and exported.

Connect a Slack app to the Vellum Assistant via Socket Mode. Use whenever the user wants to set up Slack for their assistant, connect a workspace, or get the assistant talking in Slack — the skill generates a one-click manifest URL so they only have to name, save, and copy two tokens.

Select focused verification commands for Vellum Assistant changes. Use when deciding what tests, typechecks, lints, or smoke checks to run after editing this repository, especially before commits and pull requests.

Restart the Vellum assistant and gateway services. Smart branch handling: pulls from main by default, restarts in-place on feature branches, or switches to a specified branch. Pass --pull to force-pull on the current branch.

Spawn and manage autonomous background agents for parallel work

Walk the user through building, scaffolding, shipping, and editing a Vellum plugin that bundles hooks, tools, and skills into one installable package. Use when the user wants to extend their assistant with a new capability shipped as a plugin, publish to the marketplace, or push edits to an existing plugin's GitHub repo.

Recurring and one-shot scheduling - cron, RRULE, or single fire-at time

Read and write Notion pages and databases using the Notion API

Spawn external coding agents via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)

Migrate from ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, Manus, and other AI assistants into Vellum by inspecting their data exports, conversation archives, files, prompts, custom instructions, memory, saved memories, tools, GPTs, workflows, integrations, and relationships, then mapping as much as safely possible into Vellum primitives. Handles single-source and multi-source migrations with a unified, deduplicated inventory.

Select and tune an ElevenLabs TTS voice - curated voice list, custom/cloned voices via API key, and tuning parameters

Generate expressive audio clips using Fish Audio S2 TTS with bracket emotion tags. Record voice memos, narration, audio messages, or any spoken content.

Create and configure a Linear agent app so the assistant can manage issues, projects, and workflows under its own identity

Analyze and reduce LLM spend by mapping call-site overrides to managed profiles (Balanced / Quality / Speed). Covers spend analysis, profile assignment, and config correctness.

Connect an Oura Ring via OAuth2 — app registration, token exchange, and credential storage

Pull sleep, activity, readiness, heart rate, and other health data from a connected Oura Ring via the Oura Cloud API V2

Set up and manage ngrok-based public ingress for local assistants; do not use this in managed mode when platform callback routing is available

Connect a Telegram bot to the Vellum Assistant gateway with automated webhook registration and credential storage

Configure Twilio credentials and phone numbers for voice calls

Act on behalf of your user in any third-party software that supports OAuth 2.0

Set up a Vercel API token for publishing apps using browser automation

Complete voice configuration in chat - PTT key, microphone permissions, ElevenLabs TTS, and troubleshooting

Set up channel verification for phone, Telegram, Slack, or email channels via outbound verification flow

Create images from a text description, or edit photos and graphics the user provides (remove backgrounds or watermarks, retouch, restyle, in-paint). Can produce multiple variants when the user wants options to choose from.

Add, authenticate, list, and remove MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers — connect any external tool or service that publishes an MCP endpoint to the assistant

Join a Google Meet call to take notes; only when the user explicitly asks.

Send notifications through the unified notification router

Read, send, and manage Slack messages via the Web API

Watch TV shows and movies with the user in real time by processing screen captures into frames and audio analysis.

Guide Vellum Assistant feature flag changes and rollout hygiene. Use when adding, editing, reviewing, or documenting assistant feature flags, rollout-gated behavior, or platform flag follow-up work.

Validate Vellum Assistant database and workspace migrations. Use when adding, editing, reviewing, or testing migrations, release-note migrations, persisted schemas, workspace file formats, or data backfills.

Review Vellum Assistant user-facing copy, examples, docs, CLI output, UI strings, and assistant-facing release notes. Use when editing text users may read, including README files, SKILL.md files, CLI messages, route errors, update bulletins, and client UI labels.
