At a glance

Creates ephemeral, stateless Effect Golem agents with fresh handlers for every invocation.

  • Works in 4 steps: Starts a fresh ephemeral agent instance. → Runs init and then methods to obtain… → Runs the requested handler. → …
  • Pure request handlers
  • SKILL.md covers Define and Implement the Agent, Fresh Invocation Semantics, Effect and CLI Conventions and Choosing Ephemeral Mode
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Golem Stateless Agent Effect is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Creates ephemeral, stateless Effect Golem agents with fresh handlers for every invocation. Use for pure request handlers, independent transformations, or agents that must not share state between calls.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • Pure request handlers
  • Independent transformations
  • Agents that must not share state between calls

Example prompts

  • “Use the golem-stateless-agent-effect skill to create ephemeral, stateless Effect Golem agents with fresh handlers for every invocation”
  • “/golem-stateless-agent-effect”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Starts a fresh ephemeral agent instance.
  2. Runs init and then methods to obtain that instance's handlers.
  3. Runs the requested handler.
  4. Discards the instance and its captured in-memory values.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2dea6b9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Golem Stateless Agent Effect loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 458 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 458 words (~1,071 tokens).

“An ephemeral agent gets a fresh implementation for every invocation. Its agent id fields still describe its logical identity, but values captured by one invocation's handlers are discarded when that invocation completes. The oplog remains available for inspection, but Golem…”
