agent-app-manager

agent-app-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. It costs 35 tokens per session (657 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for operating existing Agent Apps without changing their code. It can find projects, inspect their configuration, start or stop them, restart them, use their data operations, and investigate failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list projects, launch or restart an app, check its status and operations, work with its data, and inspect problems.
Why use it?
It separates routine app operation from development work, reducing the risk of changing files when you only need to run or diagnose a project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-app-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 23d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent App Manager

Operate and manage existing Agent Apps. Never edit code here — if a request needs code changes, that's agent-app-modify.

Inventory

  • Registry: agent_file_system/workspace/agent_app_projects.json — id, name, status, port, path per project.
  • Per project: manifest.json (port, authMode, pipeline), AGENT_APP.md (what it does), operations.json (its verbs).

Lifecycle

  • agent_app_notify_ready(project_id) — validate + launch (or relaunch).
  • agent_app_restart(project_id) — stop then full relaunch.
  • A running app serves everything on ONE port: http://localhost:<port> — the UI, the PB REST API (/api/collections/...), declared ops, and discovery at GET /api/_ops.

Operating an app (using it on the user's behalf)

Use the agent-app CLI via run_shell. ALWAYS use the ABSOLUTE CLI path — the shell's cwd is NOT the repo root, so relative paths fail. The CLI is <craftbot-root>/agent-app/tools/src/cli.ts (craftbot-root = parent of agent_file_system; in a Agent App session the [INTERACTING WITH AGENT APP] note contains the exact ready-to-run commands). <CLI> and <project> below are absolute paths.

  1. Discover what the app can do: node <CLI> ops <project>
  2. Declared op exists → run it: node <CLI> run <project> <op-name> --param value Ops marked DESTRUCTIVE → confirm with the user first.
  3. No op → generic data access: node <CLI> data <project> <collection> list --filter '...' --sort '-created' --limit 20 node <CLI> data <project> <collection> create --json '{"field":"value"}' node <CLI> data <project> <collection> update <id> --json '{...}' / delete <id> Read freely; write only what the app's own UI offers.
  4. Needs new capability → say so and offer a modification instead of hacking around it.

Fallback only when the shell is unavailable: the agent_app_http action speaks to the same API.

Diagnosing

  • Status error: read the project's error field in the registry, then logs/pocketbase.log (server/migrations) and logs/frontend_console.log (frontend). Report findings honestly; hand fixes to agent-app-modify.
  • Never start pocketbase/npm processes by hand; never touch pb_data/ or .superuser.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
