/bedrock:vaults — Vault Management

Plugin Paths

The vault registry lives in the plugin root directory, not in any vault. Use the "Base directory for this skill" provided at invocation to resolve paths:

• Vault registry: <base_dir>/../../vaults.json
• Plugin CLAUDE.md: <base_dir>/../../CLAUDE.md (auto-injected into context)

Where <base_dir> is the path shown in "Base directory for this skill".

Overview

This skill manages the global vault registry — the file that maps vault names to filesystem paths and tracks which vault is the default.

You are a management agent. This skill is read-only with respect to vaults themselves — it never reads or modifies vault entities, never runs git operations inside vaults, and never touches .bedrock/config.json. It only reads and writes the registry file (vaults.json).

---

Phase 0 — Parse Input

Parse the user's input to determine the command mode:

Input pattern	Mode	Variables
No flags / empty / list	list	—
--set-default <name>	set-default	TARGET_NAME = <name>
--remove <name>	remove	TARGET_NAME = <name>

If the input doesn't match any pattern, default to list mode.

---

Phase 1 — Read Registry

Resolve the registry path:

REGISTRY_PATH = <base_dir>/../../vaults.json

Read the registry file:

cat <REGISTRY_PATH> 2>/dev/null

If the file does not exist or is empty:

• For list mode: display "No vaults registered. Run /bedrock:setup in a vault directory to register your first vault."
• For set-default and remove modes: display "No vaults registered. Nothing to modify." and exit.

If the file exists: parse the JSON. Expected schema:

{
  "vaults": [
    {
      "name": "<string>",
      "path": "<absolute-path>",
      "default": true | false
    }
  ]
}

Store the parsed vaults array as VAULTS.

Phase 2 — Execute Command

2.1 List Mode

For each vault in VAULTS, check if the path still exists on disk:

test -d "<vault_path>" && echo "exists" || echo "missing"

Present a table:

## Registered Vaults

| Name | Path | Default | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| my-vault | /Users/me/vaults/my-vault | * | ok |
| team-vault | /Users/me/vaults/team-vault | | ok |
| old-vault | /Users/me/vaults/old-vault | | missing |

• The Default column shows * for the default vault
• The Status column shows ok if the directory exists, missing if it does not

If any vault has status missing, add a note:

> Vaults marked as "missing" have paths that no longer exist on disk.
> Run `/bedrock:vaults --remove <name>` to clean up, or re-create the vault at the registered path.

2.2 Set-Default Mode

1. Find the vault with name == TARGET_NAME in VAULTS
2. If not found: display "Vault <TARGET_NAME> is not registered. Available vaults:" followed by a list of names. Exit.
3. If found:
   • Set "default": false on all vaults
   • Set "default": true on the matching vault
   • Write the updated registry back to REGISTRY_PATH
   • Display: "Default vault set to <TARGET_NAME> ()."

2.3 Remove Mode

1. Find the vault with name == TARGET_NAME in VAULTS
2. If not found: display "Vault <TARGET_NAME> is not registered. Available vaults:" followed by a list of names. Exit.
3. If found:
   • Remove the entry from VAULTS
   • If the removed vault was the default AND other vaults remain, mark the first remaining vault as default and inform the user
   • Write the updated registry back to REGISTRY_PATH
   • Display: "Vault <TARGET_NAME> removed from registry. Files on disk were NOT deleted ()."

---

Phase 3 — Write Registry

When writing the registry (set-default or remove modes), use the Write tool to overwrite REGISTRY_PATH with the updated JSON:

{
  "vaults": [
    { "name": "...", "path": "...", "default": true },
    { "name": "...", "path": "...", "default": false }
  ]
}

Format the JSON with 2-space indentation for readability.

Critical Rules

#	Rule
1	NEVER modify vault files — this skill only touches vaults.json
2	NEVER run git operations — no git pull, commit, push, or any git command
3	NEVER delete files on disk — --remove only removes the registry entry
4	ALWAYS validate vault name exists before set-default or remove
5	ALWAYS check path existence when listing vaults — flag missing paths
6	ALWAYS maintain exactly one default — if the default is removed, auto-assign the first remaining vault
7	Vault names are kebab-case — lowercase, no spaces, no special characters beyond hyphens
