agentseek-lifecycle

agentseek-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ob-labs/agentseek. It costs 54 tokens per session (485 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for developing and maintaining AgentSeek projects and Cookiecutter templates. AgentSeek is a command-line tool for creating, checking, running, and managing project tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create projects, run doctor, development, information, or task commands, edit lifecycle specifications, and maintain template inputs.
Why use it?
It gives you a consistent way to diagnose project lifecycle problems and keep generated projects compatible with AgentSeek.

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

agentseek-lifecycle 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

AgentSeek Lifecycle

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the workspace shape:
    • Generated project: look for .agentseek/lifecycle.toml, .env.example, pyproject.toml, frontend files, and project README.
    • Template project: look for cookiecutter.json, rendered {{ cookiecutter... }} paths, generated lifecycle specs, and template README.
  2. Work through the public lifecycle surface:
    • agentseek create
    • agentseek doctor
    • agentseek dev
    • agentseek info
    • agentseek task
  3. Treat .agentseek/lifecycle.toml as the compatibility contract between a generated project and AgentSeek.
  4. Keep changes narrow:
    • Update generated instructions when lifecycle behavior changes.
    • Preserve non-interactive template rendering.
    • Use AgentSeek commands and project files as the validation surface.
  5. Validate with public commands whenever possible.

Load References

  • For lifecycle specs, task expectations, and public validation commands, read references/agentseek-lifecycle.md.
  • For template variables, rendering, --no-input, private variables, hooks, and template maintenance, read references/cookiecutter.md.

Default Validation

For a generated project:

agentseek info
agentseek doctor
agentseek dev --dry-run
agentseek task --list

For a template project, render with defaults into a temporary directory, then run the generated project's lifecycle checks:

tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)"
cd "$tmpdir"
agentseek create <type>/<name> --no-input
cd <generated-project>
agentseek info
agentseek doctor
agentseek dev --dry-run

If the template lives on a branch that is not the template repository's default branch, pass the branch explicitly:

agentseek create <type>/<name> --checkout <branch> --no-input

If the repository provides its own test or lint commands, run the smallest relevant set after the public lifecycle check.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
