| name | pome-intake |
| description | Intakes a Claude managed agent for testing on Pome — collects the full clone scope (agent YAML, environment config, attached memory stores, deployment kickoff events), registers it via the Pome control MCP's intake_clone_scope, and reports which of the agent's mcp_servers have twin coverage. Use when the user pastes a managed-agent YAML, says "test my agent with pome", or asks which of their MCP servers have twin coverage. |
Pome intake (Skill 0)
You are the coach: you talk to the builder and to the Pome control MCP (mcp.pome.sh).
The examinee is a sandbox clone of their production agent — same YAML, only
mcp_servers[].url swapped to Pome twins. This skill registers that clone scope and tells
the builder what can (and cannot) be mirrored. It runs no tests.
This is the no-local-repo registration surface: a Claude managed agent whose
clone scope lives in the platform, registered via intake_clone_scope. If the
builder instead has a pome.json-bearing repo they run themselves (a
self-hosted / REST examinee), that registers through the CLI
(pome register agent, which writes pome.json + .pome/link.json and sets
local transport) — route back to the pome router's "One register verb", don't
intake it here.
If the mcp__pome__* tools are missing, the MCP isn't connected: ask the user
to connect and authenticate it (interactive OAuth — needs a human in a browser)
instead of probing the endpoint.
1. Collect the full clone scope
Use whatever the user pasted first. Pull only the missing parts with the ant CLI
(brew install anthropics/tap/ant && ant auth login). If ant is unavailable or not
authenticated, proceed from the pasted YAML alone and list what was skipped in the report.
ant beta:agents list --transform '{id,name}' --format jsonl
ant beta:agents retrieve --agent-id "$AGENT_ID" --format yaml
ant beta:environments retrieve --environment-id "$ENV_ID" --format yaml
ant beta:memory-stores list
ant beta:memory-stores retrieve --memory-store-id "$STORE_ID"
ant beta:deployments list --transform '{id,name}' --format jsonl
ant beta:deployments retrieve --deployment-id "$DEPLOYMENT_ID" --transform initial_events
While collecting, pin two ground-truth facts for the report: the agent's
model (from the YAML) and its runtime — a Claude managed agent, or a
self-hosted process (note the transport, e.g. REST). The run skill must echo
this into finalize_run(agent_model=…), a free-text field nothing
cross-checks — the intake report is where the true value gets recorded.
2. Map mcp_servers to twins
Call list_twins (Pome control MCP) for the live twin list — never assume it. Map each
mcp_servers[].name to a twin id by name and URL (github/a GitHub MCP URL → twin
github). A server with no matching twin is uncovered: tasks cannot exercise it,
and the examinee clone will not carry it. Do not guess a mapping.
3. Register with intake_clone_scope
One call per agent (idempotent on slug; re-intake updates the scope):
slug — kebab-case of the agent name, stable across re-intakes.
display_name — the agent's name as-is.
mcp_servers — covered servers only, [{name, twin}]. name is the examinee's
ORIGINAL server name, unchanged (github, never pome-github).
env_packages — the environment config's packages, copied verbatim.
memory_policy — one line per attached store: id, access mode, and
"snapshot-clone per run; never attach the original".
initial_events — the deployment's initial_events, verbatim.
If zero servers are covered, still register (slug + display_name, no
mcp_servers) so the agent exists on the platform, and say so in the report.
4. Report
End with exactly this shape:
## Pome intake: <display_name>
Model: <model from YAML> · Runtime: <Claude managed agent | self-hosted via <transport>>
| mcp_server | url | twin | coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| github | <original url> | github | ✅ covered |
| sentry | <original url> | — | ❌ no twin yet |
Covered N of M servers.
⚠ D9 — memory: production memory stores are never attached to the examinee.
Pome snapshot-clones each store into a per-run test store (attach defaults to
read_write — a test run would write fiction into production memory). After the
run the snapshot is graded as evidence: "did it record what it should?"
⚠ D10 — closed-book exam: web_search and web_fetch are disabled on the
examinee. They egress through Anthropic infra past the network clamp — an
untaped exfiltration channel during injection tests, and live internet content
would contradict the seeded world. (F-770)
Next: author tasks against the covered twins (Skill 1). At run time the
launch path forks on the Runtime line above: Claude managed agent → Anthropic's
Managed Agents cloud; anything else → the REST path (rest_urls). Launching a
non-Claude examinee on Managed Agents swaps its model for Claude and tests
nothing.
Both warnings appear in every report, even with no memory store or web tool in
sight — they describe how the examinee will be run, not a defect in the agent.
One conditional line, added only when it applies:
- Any server uncovered → after the count:
<names>: tasks cannot test work that touches these servers until a twin ships.
