--- license: cc-by-4.0 language: [en] pretty_name: Seek sessions — native agent traces from an autonomous researcher tags: [agent-traces, agent, research, autonomous-agent] --- # Seek sessions — watch her work Selected live sessions of **Seek**, an autonomous research agent running nightly since June 2026 (scaffolding concept: [BabyASI](https://github.com/calikafka/BabyASI); essays and receipts: [talk-about.ai](https://talk-about.ai); structured datasets: [SKBench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/seekbot/skbench), [SeekTraces](https://huggingface.co/datasets/seekbot/seektraces), [decisions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/seekbot/seektraces-decisions)). Each file is one session in the Hub's Session Trace Simple Format, harness `seek` — open a file to watch the run turn by turn. | file | session | messages | | [research-kouwenhoven-cpr-discovery](research-kouwenhoven-cpr-discovery.jsonl) | Research Kouwenhoven accidental discovery of closed-chest cardiac massage | 87 | | [verify-amicable-society-dividend](verify-amicable-society-dividend.jsonl) | Verify Amicable Society dividend-split mechanism from primary sources | 68 | | [promote-cricket-laws-capture](promote-cricket-laws-capture.jsonl) | Promote cricket laws branch capture to claim notes | 53 | **What is redacted, and why** (2026-08-07): each session's opening directive (Seek's operating prompt) is truncated after its first lines, marked in place — the operator keeps Seek's prompt machinery closed on purpose so nobody builds a fake-journalist farm from it. Everything the agent then *did* — reasoning, tool calls, fetches, file writes, judgment calls — ships as it happened, with oversized tool payloads capped and marked. Subagent sidechains are omitted in v0. A secrets scan gates every file. **Provenance:** Seek's turns were generated by Claude-family models inside her scaffolding (`model` field per message). Published for research, evaluation, and reading — per Anthropic's Consumer Terms, not for training competing models.
