### Description (declared)

# Command Vault (also MCP)

> *"What was that certipy command I used for ESC8?"*
> *"How did I exploit that shadow credentials thing again?"*

Command Vault indexes **commands**, **scripts**, and **prose** from your penetration testing writeups and shell history into a searchable database with full context — what tool, what technique, which box. MCP-ready for AI assistants.

## Features

- **Command search** — Ranked FTS across command text and its context, with tool/category/tag filters
- **Prose search** — Search section-aware evidence, including methodology and fenced log/XML text; read source context by reference
- **Script search & retrieval** — Find detected scripts by language/library and retrieve their indexed code by ID
- **Ranked fallback** — Multi-word queries try AND first, then BM25-ranked OR if no AND matches exist; fallback is not a relevance guarantee
- **Shell history** — Index `~/.zsh_history` or `~/.bash_history` with deduplication and selected redaction patterns; dates stay unknown when absent
- **Tag filtering** — Search by extracted `#hashtags`; all requested tags must match
- **Smart categorization** — 200+ tool names mapped to categories (recon, AD, web, privesc, etc.); unknown names fall back to `misc`
- **Template generation** — Heuristic placeholders for recognized IPs, lab domains, and credential arguments; not comprehensive secret removal
- **Multiple writeup types** — Boxes, challenges, and Sherlocks with unified or legacy directory modes

## Installation

Requires Python 3.11+. [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/projects/) is recommended for the source
installation; it is not required by the installed runtime. To install from source:

~~~bash
git clone https://github.com/x746b/command-vault.git
cd command-vault
uv sync --frozen
source .venv/bin/activate
~~~

If an existing checkout uses `.venv-v2`, use `UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT=.venv-v2 uv sync --frozen` and
activate `.venv-v2/bin/activate` instead. The examples below assume the sele…
