artifact-vault
Agent skill: save every Claude artifact into one private git repo, one branch per app and kind, then search it and compare it against your current session, a feature list or an uploaded file.
An agent skill from VIOLINET Tech, version 1.0.0. It is a folder with a SKILL.md and a zero-dependency Node script (scripts/vault.mjs, Node 18+ and git). It works in Claude Code and any harness that reads the SKILL.md format, and the markdown reads as plain docs without an agent.

Use it when
you want to save, back up or organise Claude artifacts, find an old deck, guide, screenshot or generated picture, or check whether something is already written down.
What it does
dev README.md + index.json (the table of contents)
<app>/features status reports, plans, changelogs, explainers
<app>/guides user guides, setup guides, runbooks
<app>/screenshots screenshot pages, plus pictures pulled out of other pages
<app>/slides decks
<app>/docs Docs artifacts
images generated test pictures, <app>/<what the test was>/
- Save: Claude lists and downloads your artifacts with the Artifact tool;
vault.mjs ingest sorts them into branches with plain git plumbing (no checkout), idempotently. A changed kind moves the folder.
- Keys: Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, Hugging Face, Slack, AWS, Stripe live keys and private key blocks are replaced with
REDACTED_<KIND> in the saved copy and reported by kind, never printed.
- Search:
search <vault> images|slides|features|guides|screenshots|docs|all [words], list, show, get.
- Compare:
compare --features "a; b", --session summary.txt, --upload file.html, and unsaved --list list.txt against the live artifact list.
- Other:
stats, gaps, dupes, scan, index, push (never forced).
Compare matches words, not meaning, and says nothing about whether a feature works.
Install

For one project only, clone into .claude/skills/artifact-vault. As part of the whole set: /plugin marketplace add Violinet-tech/violet-skills.
Check it works: node scripts/selftest.mjs builds a throwaway vault from made-up artifacts and runs every command.
