crabbox-setup

crabbox-setup is a skill for Claude Code from gabrielmoreira/agent-skills-mirror. It costs 157 tokens per session (2,146 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for creating a separate cloud development box for each coding agent. Each box contains its own database, development server, and browser so agents can work and test at the same time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold isolated environments through Crabbox and Daytona, including their snapshot configuration and setup scripts. It is intended for running end-to-end tests and multiple development loops in parallel.
Why use it?
It prevents parallel agents from colliding over shared ports, databases, Docker resources, or application state. This is useful when one computer cannot run several complete development stacks safely.

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

crabbox-setup 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (assets/cbx.sh, assets/setup.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

crabbox-setup — an isolated cloud box per agent

dev-local-setup gives you one local stack. But the loop-engineer model runs many loops in parallel, and you can't run N full stacks on one laptop — fixed ports, one Docker daemon, one shared DB; worktrees don't fix that (they still share the host). This skill is the cloud/parallel counterpart: a fresh isolated box per agent (own DB + dev server), driven by an in-box browser, so concurrent code loops verify their work without colliding — laptop at ~0% CPU.

Written for Daytona (snapshot-based, the proven path); notes for SSH-lease providers (Hetzner/AWS) at the end. It composes with the rest of the harness:

  • reuse dev-local-setup's service/port discovery — don't re-discover.
  • run the e2e-setup specs on the box as the verification.

You are SCAFFOLDING files into the target repo. Templates live in assets/ (next to this skill); copy them in and ADAPT (every one has # EDIT: markers).


Step 0 — Discover (reuse dev-local, don't re-derive)

If scripts/dev-local.sh exists, read it: it already encodes the services, ports, infra deps, and start commands. The box's setup.sh should mirror it so local and cloud stay in sync. Otherwise discover the same facts (package manager, dev cmd + port, backing services, secrets) — see dev-local-setup Step 1. Decide:

  • Needs containers (Postgres/Supabase/Redis)? → keep the docker-in-docker block.
  • Browser e2e? → keep the Chrome + playwright-cli + ffmpeg block.
  • Secrets the app needs → these go through env.allow (Step 3), never sync.

Step 1 — devbox/Dockerfile

Copy assets/Dockerfiledevbox/Dockerfile; adapt. It bakes the slow STATIC tools (NOT app code — crabbox syncs that at run time, so the build context is just devbox/).

  • docker-in-docker (only if containers): Docker is pinned to 27.0.3 via the static tarball. ⚠️ Don't use latest / docker:dind — docker 28+ defaults to the containerd overlayfs snapshotter, which Daytona's kernel rejects (overlay mount … no such file or directory). 27.x keeps the working overlay2 graphdriver.
  • Browser e2e: install Google Chrome (the chrome channel playwright-cli uses — NOT chromium), @playwright/cli, and playwright's bundled ffmpeg (for video).

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.
