When to use this skill

• User wants to know what data they have
• User asks to scan/inventory files or directories
• User wants a data asset report
• User is preparing to register assets on Oasyce (scan first, register later)

When NOT to use this skill

• User wants to register/trade data rights (use oasyce-data-rights)
• User wants to move/delete/organize files (use standard file tools)

Works with Oasyce

DataVault is standalone. When paired with Oasyce, scanned assets can be registered on the decentralized network:

pip install datavault[oasyce]
datavault scan ~/Documents        # See what you have
oasyce register ~/Documents/report.pdf  # Register what matters
