Agent Vault

Quiet personal memory for coding agents. Install once, work normally. No Obsidian app required — just a local markdown folder.

A quiet watcher (local script, not a chatty LLM subagent every turn) scans each prompt for durable facts and secrets, seals them under me/.private/, and /vault opens a creative dashboard of everything non-secret.

Grok Build plugin · Hermes plugin · plain CLI for any agent

Idea (evaluated)

Approach	Verdict
Spawn an LLM subagent on every prompt	❌ Latency, cost, secrets re-sent to a model
Silent local watcher (regex + file merge) on every prompt	✅ Fast, private, fail-open
Agent skill persona (vault-watcher) for judgmental merges	✅ Complements hooks when the main model notices nuance
Obsidian dependency	❌ Unnecessary — plain markdown is enough

So: hooks = automatic, skill/agent = smart backup, dashboard = human face.

Install

Grok Build

grok plugin install Silly-Goose-duh/agent-vault --trust

Hermes

hermes plugins install Silly-Goose-duh/agent-vault --enable
# new session / gateway restart

Any agent (CLI)

git clone https://github.com/Silly-Goose-duh/agent-vault.git
cd agent-vault
python scripts/vault_cli.py init
python scripts/quiet_watcher.py --text "My name is Ada. I prefer short answers." --verbose
python scripts/vault_status.py

How it feels day-to-day

1. You code / chat as usual.
2. After each prompt the quiet watcher runs (Grok hooks / Hermes pre_llm_call).
3. Facts land in me/, secrets in me/.private/ (never echoed raw).
4. /vault → creative dashboard of you, todos, reminders, projects, sealed-key count, recent captures.
5. /vaultkeys → labels only.

Commands

Command	Purpose

Security

• Secrets: plaintext on disk, deep path, gitignored
• Prefer BitLocker / FileVault / LUKS
• Dashboard & context injection never include secret values
• Not a password manager
