cmux-freestyle is a skill for Codex from manaflow-ai/cmux-skills. It costs 104 tokens per session (3,037 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A setup guide for creating a Freestyle virtual-machine snapshot that cmux Cloud can start. A virtual machine is a remotely running computer environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when connecting a self-hosted cmux backend to Freestyle, rebuilding a cmux Cloud image, or creating a snapshot tied to a specific cmux release.
Why use it?
It explains how to make a snapshot for your own Freestyle account, since snapshots belong to the account that created them.

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 D, and why

cmux-freestyle scanned grade D with 3 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cmux Freestyle

Use this skill when a user wants a Freestyle VM snapshot that the cmux backend can boot Cloud VMs from. It lives in its own public repo, manaflow-ai/cmux-freestyle, so anyone with a Freestyle API key can run one shell script and get back a FREESTYLE_SANDBOX_SNAPSHOT id.

Freestyle snapshots are scoped to the account that created them. A snapshot id from manaflow's account, or from any other user, will not work for a different Freestyle account. Every user has to run the setup script against their own FREESTYLE_API_KEY. There is no shortcut.

When to use

  • User asks how to point their own cmux at Freestyle.
  • User self-hosts the cmux web backend and needs a snapshot pinned to a known cmux release.
  • User wants to rebuild the cmux Cloud VM image on their own Freestyle account.
  • User wants to iterate on the standalone repo (cmux-freestyle) instead of the in-repo builder at repo/web/scripts/build-cloud-vm-images.ts.

For internal cmux development that pushes a new snapshot to manaflow's Freestyle account and updates repo/web/services/vms/images/manifest.json, keep using repo/web/scripts/build-cloud-vm-images.ts. This skill is the external-user path.

What it builds

A Freestyle snapshot from a Dockerfile that mirrors freestyleBaseDockerfileContent in the in-repo builder:

  • ubuntu:24.04, C.UTF-8, the same shell package set, the Python/OpenSSL shim required by the cmux browser proxy.
  • cmuxd-remote Linux/amd64 downloaded from a pinned manaflow-ai/cmux GitHub release, SHA-256 verified during the image build against cmuxd-remote-checksums.txt.
  • /usr/local/bin/cmux symlinked to cmuxd-remote.
  • Node.js, Bun, plus pinned coding agent CLIs (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Pi).
  • Linux user cmux with passwordless sudo.
  • Systemd unit cmuxd-ws.service running cmuxd-remote serve --ws --listen 0.0.0.0:7777 --auth-lease-file ... --rpc-auth-lease-file ... on Freestyle port 443 -> 7777.

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.
