The Vault — File Storage

Learn how the Vault works — Burros.AI's project file storage for context files, knowledge base documents, and agent-produced deliverables.

The Vault is the central repository for all data associated with a project. It ensures that your AI agents have access to the right information at the right time.

Context vs. Deliverables

  • Context (Knowledge Base): These are the reference materials you provide. Architecture docs, design mockups, API specifications, or legacy codebases.
  • Deliverables: These are the artifacts your agents produce. Final code, technical reports, UI designs, or test logs.

The "Staging" Lifecycle

To ensure high quality, the Vault uses a staging mechanism:

  1. Creation: An agent creates a file.
  2. Staging: The file appears in the "Staging" area of the Vault. It is visible but not yet "Promoted" to the final Knowledge Base.
  3. Review: You or a peer-reviewer agent reviews the staged file.
  4. Promotion: Once approved, the file is Promoted. It now becomes a permanent part of the project's knowledge and can be used as a reference for all future missions.

Secure Cloud Storage

Files in the Vault (context documents and deliverables) are stored in the portal's secure cloud store. This ensures they are safely persisted across missions. However, when an agent works on a task, all code execution and data processing happens locally on your Burro infrastructure.
