SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of getting an AI agent to use your already-generated Vault data as reliable local context without needing app access, live API calls, or indexing services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local, read-only Vault consumption: Refreshes the synced Vault and treats it as generated, stable context for the agent to read from disk.
  • Filesystem-first research workflow: Guides the agent to read README.md first and then search and open Markdown files using normal tools (for example, ripgrep and file reads).
  • Clear boundaries to avoid misuse: Prevents using Vault Sync as a search/query layer or editing generated Vault content unless the user explicitly requests local modifications.

Quick Start

Refresh your Vault locally by running a pull, then read the Vault’s README.md and use normal filesystem search to answer your question from the Markdown files in that folder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use local Vault markdown files as context for AI research?

To use local Vault markdown files as context, sync your repository to disk and read the README.md first, then search the filesystem directly to answer questions without needing app APIs.

Can I search a synced Vault repository on disk without app APIs?

Yes, you can search a synced Vault repository on disk without app APIs by using filesystem-first tools like ripgrep and file reads to query the markdown files directly.

What is the best way to extract passages from local markdown files in a Vault?

The best way to extract passages from local markdown files is to pull the latest Vault repository, read the README.md for orientation, and search the filesystem to find relevant text.

Do I need an indexing service to read local research from a Vault repository?

No, you do not need an indexing service to read local research from a Vault repository; the workflow treats the synced markdown files as stable context and reads them directly from disk.

Can I use Vault Sync to index and search my repository?

No, you cannot use Vault Sync to index and search your repository; it is explicitly prohibited from acting as a search, query, or index layer and serves only to enable filesystem-first reading.

Why should I read the README.md first when doing local research from a Vault?

You should read the README.md first because the filesystem-first research workflow requires it for orientation before searching and opening the remaining markdown files in the Vault directory.
