seed-minimal-test

A minimal smoke-test seed that installs a single 'current-time' skill so your AI agent can tell you what time it is.

GitHub
Install in your terminal with command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plow-pbc/seed/main/install.sh | bash -s -- https://github.com/plow-pbc/seed-minimal-test/blob/main/SEED.md

What this seed does

seed-minimal-test is the smallest useful seed: it installs one tiny skill onto your machine that, when invoked, tells you the current date and time. Ask your agent "what time is it?" and it reads your system clock and answers — nothing more, nothing less.

It exists primarily as a fast, low-footprint fixture for testing the seed install-and-verify lifecycle end to end. It requires no accounts, no external services, and no special software — just a standard shell. Installation touches a single file and completes in well under a second.

If you're building or debugging a seed installer tool and need a real seed that's trivially cheap to run, this is the one to reach for.

When to use it

  • When you're building a seed installer and want the simplest possible real seed to test the full install-and-verify cycle against.
  • When you want to confirm your agent's skills directory is set up correctly without committing to a heavy install.
  • When you need a fast sanity check that seed-install is wired up and working end to end.
  • When you want your AI agent to be able to answer 'what time is it?' with a dedicated, minimal skill.
  • When you're writing documentation or tutorials for the seed system and need a safe, throwaway example seed to walk through.
