isaac-automator

isaac-automator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from isaac-sim/IsaacAutomator. It costs 123 tokens per session (2,078 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for deploying and operating a remote cloud computer with a graphics processor, running NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, or Isaac Lab Arena. These tools are used to simulate robots and train robot-learning systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a remote Isaac workstation on AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or Alibaba Cloud, connect to it, transfer files, control running costs, or remove it when finished.
Why use it?
It handles the setup and day-to-day control of a cloud machine that may be expensive to run. It also covers moving data, reconnecting, stopping, repairing, importing, and deleting deployments.

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

isaac-automator 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 11d 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.

Isaac Automator: deploy and operate a cloud Isaac Workstation

Isaac Automator provisions a GPU virtual machine in a public cloud and configures it as a ready-to-use Isaac Workstation: a remote-desktop VM with Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, and/or Isaac Lab Arena installed, plus lifecycle controls, data transfer, and import of existing deployments. This skill drives that CLI to stand up, use, and tear down a workstation.

Source: https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacAutomator

When to use this skill

Use it when the user wants to deploy, connect to, manage cost on, or tear down a cloud Isaac workstation via Isaac Automator. Do NOT use it for installing Isaac Sim/Lab on local hardware, for changing Isaac Automator's own code (Python/Terraform/Ansible), or for writing simulation or robot-learning code.

Before you act

  • It provisions real, paid cloud infrastructure. A running deployment bills by the hour; a stopped instance still bills for storage. Treat every deploy and start as live-fire.
  • Always clean up. Stop when idle (./stop), and destroy (./destroy <name> --yes) when done. Only destroy stops all cost.
  • Run non-interactively. The deploy commands prompt for any required option you omit; an unanswered prompt blocks an agent. Supply every required option and use --existing replace (never ask).
  • Never print or commit credentials. Pass them via environment variables and reference them by name.

Prerequisites

  1. Docker installed and running.
  2. Cloud credentials for the target cloud. For AWS the simplest path is AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID + AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY in the environment; otherwise the tool falls back to an interactive SSO login.
  3. Build the container image once, from the repo root: ./build.

Everything runs inside the isaac_automator Docker image, and the top-level scripts wrap it. The ./run helper uses an interactive TTY; for a headless agent, call the container directly instead:

docker run --rm --network host -v "$(pwd)":/app \
  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
  isaac_automator "<command>"

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.
