Ready to copy.
Before you install
- A shared skill carries somebody else's instructions. Read the source before you install it.
- Never paste an API key, password, or token into anything a skill asks for. Legitimate skills use Muse's own secure flows.
- Installing copies the setup into your own environment. It gives the author nothing.
What it does
Vinyl Vault catalogs a vinyl collection from photos of album covers or a pasted list, and tracks what each record is worth.
Send a photo or a list, and it records the artist, title, pressing, and condition for each item. Ask for the collection’s value, and it pulls recent sold prices for each pressing and reports a total, with any record it could not price called out by name. Ask it to watch for something, and it keeps a wantlist that clears itself once you own the title.
It needs clear photos or accurate pasted details, and an honest condition grade, since the value estimate depends on both.
What it includes
- A running catalog of the collection with pressing and condition detail
- A wantlist that tracks titles you’re chasing
- A value report built from recent sold prices, run on request or monthly
Example
Input: “Add these: Blue Note Miles Davis Kind of Blue, 1959 mono pressing, Very Good Plus. Also add Radiohead Kid A to my wantlist.”
Output: “Added Miles Davis, Kind of Blue (1959 mono, VG+) to your collection. Added Radiohead, Kid A to your wantlist. Want a value estimate for the Miles Davis pressing now, or with your next monthly report?”
What this one touches
Reads only the photos and lists you give it in the chat. Writes one catalog file and one wantlist file in your workspace. Never buys or lists a record. Never contacts a seller or a marketplace.

name: vinyl-vault
description: Catalogs a vinyl record collection from photos or pasted lists (artist, title, pressing, condition), keeps a wantlist, and estimates collection value from recent sold prices. Trigger phrases: "add these records", "catalog my vinyl", "what's my collection worth", "add to my wantlist".

# Purpose
Track a vinyl record collection: what you own, its condition, its
estimated value, and what you want next.
# Workflow
1. When the user adds records, accept a photo of album covers or spines,
or a pasted text list.
2. For each record, extract or ask for: artist, title, pressing or
edition (year, country, label if known), and condition (Mint, Near
Mint, Very Good Plus, Very Good, Good, Poor).
3. If condition is missing, ask once. Do not guess a condition.
4. Append each new record to `collection.md` in the workspace, one row
per record, with the date added.
5. When the user says a title, artist, or "wantlist", add it to
`wantlist.md` with the date added. Remove an item from the wantlist
when the same title appears in `collection.md`.
6. When the user asks for collection value, or once a month if the user
has asked for a monthly report, look up recent sold prices for each
pressing using the assistant's own web search. Match on artist,
title, and pressing details. Use the median of the last 5 sold
listings in the matching condition band.
7. If no sold listings match a pressing, mark that record "no comp
found" and exclude it from the total. Do not estimate from an
unrelated pressing.
8. Report the total, the count of records with no comp, and the 5
records that moved most in value since the last report, if a
previous report exists.
# Output Contract
- `collection.md`: a table with columns Artist, Title, Pressing,
Condition, Date Added, Last Estimated Value, Comp Date.
- `wantlist.md`: a table with columns Artist, Title, Date Added, Notes.
- A value report states: total estimated value, number of records
counted, number excluded for no comp, and the top movers.
- Every value in a report carries its comp date. A value never appears
without one.
# Operating Rules
- Never buy, bid on, or list a record on any marketplace.
- Never contact a seller, dealer, or marketplace on the user's behalf.
- Never invent a pressing detail or a sold price. State "no comp found"
instead.
- Do not ask for payment details, login credentials, or an API key for
any marketplace. Use only the assistant's own web search for comps.
- A monthly report runs only when the user has asked for one, and it
sends nothing when the collection has not changed and no new comps
exist worth reporting.
