seed

A packaging tool that creates a portable starter bundle for a new learning-loop setup. It carries selected working habits and preferences rather than a complete project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select feedback, references, preferences, or approved notes and prepare them for a fresh instance.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to start another instance with useful working-style information while excluding unrelated knowledge or projects.

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

seed 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 2d 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 — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Seed a fresh instance

Produces a seed-bundle-<date>/ an empty learning-loop instance can boot from via /learning-loop:init. Carries your working-style, not your knowledge or projects.

Paths

Resolve PLUGIN_DATA, VAULT, and the plugin root per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills-shared/paths-preamble.md (read it and apply). Resolve the auto-memory dir mechanically (do NOT hand-construct the slug):

node -e "import('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/memory-paths.mjs').then(m=>console.log(m.resolveMemoryDir(process.env.CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR)))"

Process

1. Resolve inputs

  • Default preset --for-job: types = ["feedback"], no vault tiers.
  • --types a,b overrides the type set. --tiers <tier> (e.g. 3-permanent) opts in vault notes and triggers a hard scrub (see step 4).
  • Default name deny-list for the scrub: project-flavored feedback. Build it mechanically — do NOT hand-curate. Pass the patterns the operator confirms; start from obvious client/product/person tokens visible in filenames.

2. Mechanical selection

Run:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/seed-select.mjs <memDir> <types-csv> <deny-csv>

This returns {kept, dropped}. The type filter and name deny-list are mechanical. Do not add files the script dropped.

3. Present for consolidation (the home-brain benefit)

Show the operator the kept list and the dropped list with reasons. Ask: any kept file that is actually project-specific or personal and should be dropped? Any dropped file that is genuinely portable and should be kept? This is the consolidation moment — encourage pruning stale feedback at the source.

4. Scrub (only if --tiers used)

If vault tiers were opted in, run the candidate notes through the same scrubber harvest uses (pass PLUGIN_DATA so instance facts merge in):

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/harvest-scrub.mjs "<denylistFile>" "<PLUGIN_DATA>" <note-path...>

Block anything the scrub blocks. (Reuses the harvest scrubber — same mechanical gate.) A vault tier can hold hundreds of notes; if the path list is large, pipe paths on stdin instead of argv: ... harvest-scrub.mjs "<denylistFile>" "<PLUGIN_DATA>" < notes.txt. For --for-job (no tiers) this step is skipped entirely.

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.

seed is a skill published in the GitHub repository robinslange/learning-loop (11 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 886 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
