aicore-lifecycle-management

Manage SAP AI Core lifecycle resources: scenarios, executables, configurations, and deployments. WHEN: user wants to list or inspect scenarios or executables, create or list configurations, create or list or stop or delete or patch deployments, get deployment logs, or remove duplicate LLM deployments. DO NOT USE FOR: listing foundation models or getting inference examples — use `genai-hub-foundation-models`; managing resource groups, secrets, or GitOps resources — use `aicore-admin-resources`.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 11 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by SAP on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aicore Lifecycle Management AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/SAP/ai-skills-library/tree/main/plugins/aicore-skills/skills/aicore-lifecycle-management
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SAP/ai-skills-library.git /tmp/ai-skills-library
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-skills-library/plugins/aicore-skills/skills/aicore-lifecycle-management .claude/skills/aicore-lifecycle-management
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aicore Lifecycle Management in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Aicore Lifecycle Management on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Aicore Lifecycle Management is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Rules

  1. Run all scripts from the skill root directory with uv run scripts/<name>.py.
  2. Never print or log credential values — the SDK reads them from the environment.
  3. Scripts that delete or mutate state require --confirm. Always pass it explicitly; never bypass it.
  4. When the user does not specify a resource group, omit --resource-group so the SDK uses its configured default.
  5. For LLM deployments: the scenario ID, executable ID, and model parameter names come from genai-hub-foundation-models — invoke it first if those values are unknown.
  6. Deployment configuration naming convention: use {executable_id}--{model_name} for LLM deployments (e.g. azure-openai--gpt-4o-mini). Before creating a configuration, check whether one with that name already exists via get_configurations.py --scenario-id <id> and reuse it to avoid duplicates.

List / Inspect Scenarios

bash
# List all scenarios
uv run scripts/get_scenarios.py

# Inspect a specific scenario and its versions
uv run scripts/get_scenarios.py --scenario-id <id>
uv run scripts/get_scenarios.py --scenario-id <id> --response-format detailed

# JSON output for piping
uv run scripts/get_scenarios.py --json

List Executables

bash
# List executables for a scenario
uv run scripts/get_executables.py --scenario-id <id>

# Inspect a specific executable (includes parameters and input artifacts)
uv run scripts/get_executables.py --scenario-id <id> --executable-id <id>
uv run scripts/get_executables.py --scenario-id <id> --executable-id <id> --response-format detailed

# JSON output
uv run scripts/get_executables.py --scenario-id <id> --json

Parameters are only returned when inspecting a single executable (--executable-id). The list view returns id, name, and description only.


Configurations

bash
# List configurations
uv run scripts/get_configurations.py
uv run scripts/get_configurations.py --scenario-id <id>
uv run scripts/get_configurations.py --response-format detailed
uv run scripts/get_configurations.py --json

# Inspect a specific configuration
uv run scripts/get_configurations.py --configuration-id <id>

# Create a configuration (binds parameters to an executable)
uv run scripts/create_configuration.py \
  --name my-config \
  --scenario-id <id> \
  --executable-id <id> \
  --param modelName=gpt-4o \
  --param temperature=0.7

If a deployment fails or stays PENDING after several minutes, verify parameter names and values against the executable's declared parameters:

bash
uv run scripts/get_executables.py --scenario-id <id> --executable-id <id> --response-format detailed

Deployments

Deployments serve inference endpoints. The standard flow is: create (or reuse) a configuration, then create a deployment from it.

Configuration naming convention

Always check whether a matching configuration already exists before creating one, to avoid duplicates:

bash
# Check existing configurations before creating
uv run scripts/get_configurations.py --scenario-id <scenario-id> --json | jq '.[] | select(.name == "<expected-name>")'

Naming convention:

  • LLM: {executable_id}--{model_name} — e.g. azure-openai--gpt-4o-mini
  • Orchestration: orchestration
  • Custom: choose a descriptive name

LLM deployment (from genai-hub-foundation-models handoff)

bash
# 1. Create configuration (skip if one with this name already exists):
uv run scripts/create_configuration.py \
  --name azure-openai--gpt-4o-mini \
  --scenario-id foundation-models \
  --executable-id azure-openai \
  --param modelName=gpt-4o-mini \
  --param modelVersion=latest

# 2. Deploy:
uv run scripts/create_deployment.py --configuration-id <config-id> --wait

Orchestration deployment

bash
# 1. Create configuration (skip if "orchestration" config already exists):
uv run scripts/create_configuration.py \
  --name orchestration \
  --scenario-id orchestration \
  --executable-id orchestration

# 2. Deploy:
uv run scripts/create_deployment.py --configuration-id <config-id> --wait --timeout 600

List and inspect deployments

bash
# List all deployments
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py

# Filter by status or scenario or executable
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py --status RUNNING
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py --scenario orchestration
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py --executable-id azure-openai --status RUNNING
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py --executable-id azure-openai --status RUNNING --json

# Inspect one deployment
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py --deployment-id <id>
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py --deployment-id <id> --response-format detailed
uv run scripts/get_deployments.py --deployment-id <id> --json

Stop, patch, delete, logs

bash
# Stop a deployment
uv run scripts/stop_deployment.py --deployment-id <id> --confirm
uv run scripts/stop_deployment.py --deployment-id <id> --confirm --wait

# Patch (swap configuration on a running deployment)
uv run scripts/patch_deployment.py --deployment-id <id> --configuration-id <new-config-id>

# Delete (must be STOPPED or DEAD first)
uv run scripts/delete_deployment.py --deployment-id <id> --confirm
# Stop and delete in one step:
uv run scripts/delete_deployment.py --deployment-id <id> --confirm --auto-stop

# Deployment logs
uv run scripts/get_deployment_logs.py --deployment-id <id>
uv run scripts/get_deployment_logs.py --deployment-id <id> --tail 50
uv run scripts/get_deployment_logs.py --deployment-id <id> --order asc
uv run scripts/get_deployment_logs.py --deployment-id <id> --json

# Remove duplicate LLM deployments (only affects LLM deployments with a model name)
uv run scripts/dedup_deployments.py --dry-run
uv run scripts/dedup_deployments.py

Handoffs

  • Need a Bearer token or credential setup? → invoke aicore-admin-resources
  • Need executable ID, model name, or model capabilities? → invoke genai-hub-foundation-models
  • Want to list available models or providers? → invoke genai-hub-foundation-models

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aicore Lifecycle Management AI skill do?

Manage SAP AI Core lifecycle resources: scenarios, executables, configurations, and deployments. WHEN: user wants to list or inspect scenarios or executables, create or list configurations, create or list or stop or delete or patch deployments, get deployment logs, or remove duplicate LLM deployments. DO NOT USE FOR: listing foundation models or getting inference examples — use `genai-hub-foundation-models`; managing resource groups, secrets, or GitOps resources — use `aicore-admin-resources`.

Why use Aicore Lifecycle Management on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aicore Lifecycle Management is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Aicore Lifecycle Management in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/SAP/ai-skills-library/tree/main/plugins/aicore-skills/skills/aicore-lifecycle-management. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aicore Lifecycle Management?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Aicore Lifecycle Management?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Aicore Lifecycle Management with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Aicore Lifecycle Management AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by SAP under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
