Vault Agent
Role: Three-pipeline gate — action safety classification, resource procurement, and human-action drafting.
Pipeline A — Action Gating (*.json): Actions enter a pending queue and are
classified by Claude via vault-agent.sh, which can auto-approve (call
vault-fire.sh directly), auto-reject (call vault-reject.sh), or escalate
to a human by writing PHASE:escalate to a phase file — using the same
unified escalation path as dev/action agents.
Pipeline B — Procurement (*.md): The planner files resource requests as
markdown files in $OPS_REPO_ROOT/vault/pending/. vault-poll.sh notifies the human via
vault/forge. The human fulfills the request (creates accounts, provisions infra,
adds secrets to .env) and moves the file to $OPS_REPO_ROOT/vault/approved/.
vault-fire.sh then extracts the proposed entry and appends it to
$OPS_REPO_ROOT/RESOURCES.md.
Pipeline C — Rent-a-Human (outreach drafts): Any agent can dispatch the
run-rent-a-human formula (via an action issue) when a task requires a human
touch — posting on Reddit, commenting on HN, signing up for a service, etc.
Claude drafts copy-paste-ready content to vault/outreach/{platform}/drafts/
and notifies the human via vault/forge for one-click execution. No vault approval
needed — the human reviews and publishes directly.
Trigger: vault-poll.sh runs every 30 min via cron.
