At a glance

Pauses, resumes, or completes an AI team, or marks a run complete, while keeping its evidence.

  • The user asks to pause
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Manage Team Lifecycle is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Pauses, resumes, or completes an AI team, or marks a run complete, while keeping its evidence. Use when the user asks to pause, stop, resume, wrap up, or close a team or run. Changes coordination state only and deletes nothing.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 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: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to pause

Example prompts

  • “/manage-team-lifecycle”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c04654. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Manage Team Lifecycle loads about 237 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~237

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.

Manage Team Lifecycle

Uses the RuFlo AI Team connector (server name ruflo-ai-team): the tools team_get, team_update, run_complete and evidence_export.

Read the current state before changing it. A team status is active, paused, or complete. A run can be completed only when it has at least one task and every task is complete; if the service answers tasks_incomplete, list what is still open rather than forcing it. Explain that pausing or completing changes coordination state only, offer the evidence bundle before closing, and never describe completion as deletion. This service has no deletion, public-sharing, or external-action capability.
