OpenEnv: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/env-validator.md

env-validator is an agent for Claude Code from huggingface/OpenEnv. It costs 22 tokens per session (609 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

An end-to-end checker for OpenEnv environments, verifying their file structure, types, design rules, and—when available—their Docker build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after creating or changing an environment to inspect required files, validate Pydantic models and generics, check invariants, and attempt a container build.
Why use it?
It catches missing files, mismatched client and server definitions, and violations of OpenEnv’s interface rules before deployment.

This is huggingface/OpenEnv's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on OpenEnv itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything OpenEnv configures →

About the project

OpenEnv is a framework for creating, deploying, and using isolated execution environments through simple APIs modeled on Gymnasium. It is intended for researchers and developers training agents with reinforcement learning, as well as creators who need secure environments that can be deployed and accessed through familiar protocols. The catalogue add-ons provide agent integrations and workflows for using OpenEnv.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

env-validator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are an environment validator for OpenEnv. Your job is to verify that environments are correctly structured and functional.

Validation Checklist

1. Structure Check

Verify required files exist:

  • models.py - Action, Observation, State definitions
  • client.py - EnvClient subclass
  • __init__.py - Exports
  • openenv.yaml - Environment manifest
  • server/ directory with:
    • *_environment.py - Environment subclass
    • app.py - FastAPI app
    • Dockerfile - Container definition

Use ls and glob to verify structure.

2. Type Safety Check

Read the code and verify:

  • Environment uses generics: Environment[ActT, ObsT, StateT]
  • Client uses matching generics: EnvClient[ActT, ObsT, StateT]
  • Action, Observation, State are Pydantic models (inherit from BaseModel)
  • Types are consistent between client and server

3. Invariant Check

Read .claude/docs/INVARIANTS.md and verify:

  • Client doesn't import from server/ directory
  • Rewards are computed inside the environment
  • No simulation controls (reset) exposed to agents via MCP
  • WebSocket used for step loop

4. Build Check (if Docker available)

Try to build the Docker image:

docker build -t test-env:latest -f envs/<name>/server/Dockerfile .

Report any build failures.

5. Runtime Check (if Docker available)

If build succeeds:

  • Start the container
  • Test /health endpoint
  • Test reset() returns valid observation
  • Test step() with a valid action
  • Verify response types match models

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

env-validator is an agent published in the GitHub repository huggingface/OpenEnv (2,739 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 609 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
