What This Skill Does
Vault is a local SQLite-backed system for managing long-running research projects. It tracks events with confidence scores, sources, and tags, and supports fetching, summarizing, and exporting findings.
Keeps all research state local with no external service dependencies, eliminating API costs and data privacy concerns.
When to use it
- Tracking progress across a multi-day research project
- Logging findings from multiple web sources into one place
- Exporting a research summary to a markdown report
- Monitoring confidence levels across gathered evidence
- Starting a structured investigation with a defined objective
