How it works

swarmvault

When your agent uses it

Use SwarmVault when the user needs a local-first knowledge vault that writes durable markdown, graph, search, dashboard, review, chat-session, context-pack, task-ledger, static AI export, retrieval, and MCP artifacts to disk from books, notes, transcripts, exports, datasets, slide decks, files, URLs, code, and recurring source workflows.

# SwarmVault

Use this skill when the user wants a local-first knowledge vault built on the [LLM Wiki](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f) pattern — three layers (raw sources, wiki, schema) where the LLM maintains a durable wiki between you and raw sources. Also use it when the project already contains `swarmvault.config.json` or `swarmvault.schema.md`.

For onboarding, examples, command references, or troubleshooting, read the bundled `README.md`, `examples/`, `references/`, and `TROUBLESHOOTING.md` before improvising workflow advice.

## Quick checks

- Work from the vault root.
- Use `swarmvault next` when you need a read-only orientation command before deciding whether to initialize, ingest, compile, query, review, or refresh.
- If the vault does not exist yet, run `swarmvault init`.
- Use `swarmvault demo --no-serve` when the user wants the fastest zero-config walkthrough before pointing SwarmVault at their own sources.
- Use `swarmvault quickstart <file-or-directory-or-github-url>` as the beginner-friendly first-run path when the user wants init + ingest + compile + graph viewer in one command.
- Use `swarmvault scan <file-or-directory-or-github-url> --no-serve`, `swarmvault scan <file-or-directory-or-github-url> --no-viz`, or `swarmvault clone <file-or-directory-or-github-url> --no-viz` when the user wants the fastest scratch pass over a local file, local repo, public GitHub repo, or docs tree without manually stepping through init + ingest + compile first; for GitHub URLs add `--branch`, `--ref`, or `--checkout-dir` when the user needs a pinned checkout. Use `scan --mcp` or `clone --mcp` when the next step should be an MCP stdio server. Use `swarmvault graph share --post` for copyable text, `swarmvault graph share --svg [path]` for a visual card, or `swarmvault graph share --bundle [dir]` for a portable folder with markdown, post text, SVG, HTML preview, and JSON metadata.
