docker-sandbox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ariana-dot-dev/cloud-sandbox-vm-skills. It costs 85 tokens per session (374 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A cloud Ubuntu computer with Docker already installed and access to a real Linux kernel. Docker packages and runs applications in containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building Docker images, running containers, starting Docker Compose applications, testing containerized projects, and exposing a running container.
Why use it?
It provides the machine-level access needed for Docker builds and container stacks when restricted sandboxes cannot run Docker properly.

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 C, and why

docker-sandbox scanned grade C with 2 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Docker sandbox (Box)

Use this when a task needs Docker: building an image, running docker compose, or testing a container. Many sandboxes (V8 isolates, restricted microVMs) can't run Docker at all — Box is a full VM with Docker preinstalled, so it just works.

Why Box

  • Docker preinstalled, real machinedocker build, docker run, compose stacks.
  • 80 GB disk — room for images and layers.
  • Cheap & isolated — per-second billing, separate from the host.

Prereqs

curl -fsSL https://box.ascii.dev/install | sh, then box login "$BOX_API_KEY" --json.

Recipe

box_id="$(box new --json | jq -r 'select(.event == "ready") | .id')"
box ssh "$box_id" -- bash -s < ./clone-and-build.sh   # git clone + docker build
box ssh "$box_id" -- "cd /project && docker compose up -d"
box ssh "$box_id" -- "host 8080"                       # expose the running container
box delete "$box_id" --json

Limits

EU-only; 100 active VMs soft cap; disk-level snapshots (containers don't survive stop/resume — restart compose after resume).

Changes

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.
