Simulating a crash on an agent for testing crash recovery. An agent skill from golemcloud/golem.

  • Works in 3 steps: The agent's execution is interrupted… → The agent immediately begins recovery by… → Once recovery completes, the agent…
  • Testing durable execution
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Verifying state recovery after failures

What it does

Golem Test Crash Recovery is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Simulating a crash on an agent for testing crash recovery. Use when testing durable execution, verifying state recovery after failures, or validating that an agent correctly resumes from its operation log.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 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

  • Testing durable execution
  • Verifying state recovery after failures
  • Validating that an agent correctly resumes from its operation log

Example prompts

  • “/golem-test-crash-recovery”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The agent's execution is interrupted (simulating a process crash)
  2. The agent immediately begins recovery by replaying its operation log
  3. Once recovery completes, the agent resumes normal operation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8bed66c. 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 bash).

    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 Test Crash Recovery loads about 580 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 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
~580

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 256 words (~580 tokens).

“Both golem and golem-cli can be used — all commands below work with either binary.”
