From the SKILL.md
# 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.
