Overview
Put files of any size into your MyVault — your personal second brain of notes and assets. The file's bytes go straight to secure storage; a small reference is kept in your vault so the file is indexed alongside your notes. There's no size limit beyond your storage quota (the old 25 MB attachment cap is gone).
This is the terminal companion to attaching files from Commander or from your AI assistant — handy for a big PDF, a brand deck, a video, or a research dump you want in your vault from the command line.
Usage
waymaker vault <subcommand> [options]
Subcommands
| Subcommand | Description |
|---|---|
add | Upload a file of any size to your vault |
Add a file
waymaker vault add ./brand-deck.pdf
By default the file lands under attachments/ in your vault, keeping its name. Choose a different path
with --path:
waymaker vault add ./Q3-report.pdf --path "reports/2026/Q3-report.pdf"
Options:
| Option | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--path <vaultPath> | string | Destination path in the vault. Default: attachments/<filename> |
Output:
✔ Added attachments/brand-deck.pdf (12.4 MB) to your vault
Stored securely in: Waymaker
How it works
- The CLI asks Waymaker for a one-time secure upload link.
- Your file uploads directly to Waymaker — the bytes never pass through an extra server, which is why there's no size cap.
- A small reference is kept in your vault so the file shows up alongside your notes, and it's reclaimed automatically if you delete it.
Identical files are de-duplicated automatically, so re-uploading the same file is instant.
Authentication
vault add uses your Waymaker access key. Set it once:
export WAYMAKER_API_KEY="wm_sk_your_access_key_here"
Create a key in Commander → Settings → Access Keys (it starts with wm_sk_ and is shown only once).
See Installation for full setup.
From your AI assistant (MCP)
Your AI tools can do the same thing without the CLI. Ask Claude (or any connected assistant) to "save this
file to my vault" and it uses the commander_vault_upload_init / commander_vault_upload_complete tools
for large files (or commander_vault_attach for smaller ones), and commander_vault_delete to remove one.
