What it does

Aqua Model Lifecycle is an agent skill from oracle/accelerated-data-science, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Register, list, get, and manage LLM models in OCI AI Quick Actions (AQUA) using the ADS SDK. Triggered when user wants to import models from HuggingFace or Object Storage, browse available models, or manage model catalog entries.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/containers.md` and `references/tgi-migration.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering File uploads and storage, Model hubs and datasets and LLM inference and serving. It works with Hugging Face, llama.cpp, Python and vLLM. The repository describes itself as: ADS is the Oracle Data Science Cloud Service's python SDK supporting, model ops (train/eval/deploy), along with running workloads on Jobs and Pipeline resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to import models from HuggingFace
  • Browse available models
  • Manage model catalog entries

Example prompts

  • “/aqua-model-lifecycle”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. OCI Policies must be in place (see aqua-troubleshooting skill for policy details).
  2. Object Storage bucket with versioning enabled.
  3. Authentication configured (Resource Principal in notebook, or API Key locally).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0418ab4. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • huggingface-cli

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • HF_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Aqua Model Lifecycle loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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 (UPL-1.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 224 words (~1,377 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user wants to register, list, browse, or manage LLM models in OCI Data Science AI Quick Actions (AQUA).”

Can I use Aqua Model Lifecycle in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add oracle/accelerated-data-science --skill aqua-model-lifecycle -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aqua-model-lifecycle, .gemini/skills/aqua-model-lifecycle, .github/skills/aqua-model-lifecycle and .opencode/skills/aqua-model-lifecycle in your project.

What does Aqua Model Lifecycle need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Aqua Model Lifecycle needs the command-line tools its instructions call (huggingface-cli) and credentials named HF_TOKEN. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Aqua Model Lifecycle access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Aqua Model Lifecycle safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Aqua Model Lifecycle use?
