LegacyShield is a skill that provides a zero-knowledge encrypted persistence layer for AI agents. It is designed for workflows where agents need to store and retrieve highly sensitive user data — such as legal documents, identity files, and digital legacy assets — across sessions and platforms, without the agent itself or the storage provider ever accessing the plaintext content. Encryption keys are stated to never leave the agent environment, which is the core of its zero-knowledge security claim.
A key feature is its configurable Dead Man’s Switch logic, which enables automated digital inheritance and succession workflows. This addresses scenarios where agents need to act on behalf of a user under predefined conditions, maintaining high-integrity automation over sensitive assets.
LegacyShield uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compliant interface, making it compatible with MCP-supporting orchestration environments. It is noted as optimized for Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Codex. Because no tool list is exposed, agent interactions with the vault are mediated entirely through the skill’s MCP interface.
This skill is not a general-purpose database or document store — its scope is specifically sensitive, long-lived user data in agentic contexts where privacy guarantees and digital succession matter. Developers working on estate planning automation, cross-session identity management, or sensitive document persistence are the intended audience.
