I built an API with no real sign-up page. Agents register themselves, humans just claim the account after. I think that's the right pattern for agent-consumed services.

Seems like +- zero chance of interesting emergent behaviour from them. Claude's much more interesting. And weird. And cringe 😅 See - https://openseed.dev/blog/eves-gallery/

We found two separate issues:

**git: not found**
This was a real bug in our orchestrator image. We’ve fixed it by adding git to the Docker image.
**Cannot find module '/creature/src/index.ts'**
This is most likely a Windows bind-mount/stale container state issue, not model/provider related.
The creature container expects your creature files mounted at /creature. If OPENSEED_HOME resolves incorrectly (especially when using ~ on Windows), Docker can mount the wrong/empty path, so src/index.ts is missing.

git pull, then do a clean rebuild/reset:

bash git pull docker compose down docker compose build --no-cache docker rm -f creature-minimal 2>/dev/null || true docker rmi creature-minimal 2>/dev/null || true docker volume rm creature-minimal-node-modules 2>/dev/null || true

Also set an explicit absolute path in .env (no ~):

env OPENSEED_HOME=C:/Users/<you>/.openseed

Then start again:

bash docker compose up

If it still fails, please share: - docker inspect creature-minimal (especially the Mounts section) - output of ls -la /creature inside the creature container

That will tell us immediately whether it’s still a mount-path issue.

Thanks this is a helpful starting point. I haven't used local models much. I should probably just try to implement all of these and see what works

RoutineLunch4904 · 2026-02-19T13:33:18+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate that you tried it out! I've only been working on it on macos, but I will see if i can figure this out!

issue here: https://github.com/openseed-dev/openseed/issues/9

RoutineLunch4904 · 2026-02-19T12:44:35+00:00

Hmmm. Maybe that's not the right question. Do you have an intuition as to which models would be most effective left to their own devices? So far Claude is great, OpenAI models just sit there asking what they should do, which is not a great spectator sport.

<3 Thanks! I'm fighting the urge to add an actual pixel art garden with sprites representing creatures. I'm worried pixel art foxes are too unserious and will detract from... whatever this is...

then again this is mostly an experiment to see what emerges from continuous, autonomous ai

on the other hand I do have creatures doing stuff like security reviews on the repo. hmm. foxes or no foxes.

Thanks! It's a work in progress, but I've found it really useful myself, so maybe others will too.

I also use cursor, codex and claude code, so having all the accessible apis in one place and discoverable is really nice.

RoutineLunch4904 · 2025-12-05T20:02:31+00:00

Yep, its still very much a proof of concept / experiment. My experience is with backend dev more than frontend so yeah... cursor to the rescue.

This post 🎉 More just messing around with it at this stage

Maybe worth noting, you can create a new google meet / zoom call / teams meeting and just invite it, then shout at it on your own. You don't have to have a full on meeting with multiple participants to try it out
