What it does

Golem Update Running Agents is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Updating running agents to a new component version. Use when asked to update existing agents, explain automatic or manual update modes, or trigger updates via the CLI or deploy command.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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

  • Asked to update existing agents
  • Explain automatic
  • Manual update modes
  • Trigger updates via the CLI

Example prompts

  • “/golem-update-running-agents”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Admission records the target and an exact attempt identity.
  2. When that request reaches the queue head, Golem selects the newest eligible periodic snapshot in the then-active source revision. A…
  3. The worker is restarted promptly, including when an invocation is in flight.
  4. The target loads the selected snapshot, if any, and replays the surviving committed history. The replay can extend beyond the request…
  5. Success is recorded only after replay validation and before target live effects continue. An assisted snapshot then becomes the…
  6. If replay fails, one failed outcome is recorded and the healthy source revision is reconstructed. Once a snapshot has been selected, Golem…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c6a3029. 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 Update Running Agents loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 901 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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 901 words (~2,020 tokens).

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