sandboxing

sandboxing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,780 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A security guide for isolating software processes so they have limited access to the operating system. It covers controls such as seccomp, AppArmor, SELinux, containers, and platform-specific restrictions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing process isolation for Python, C, Rust, or Go software on Linux, Windows, macOS, or in containers.
Why use it?
It helps reduce the damage a compromised or untrusted component could cause, while highlighting the risks of incorrect isolation settings.

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

sandboxing scanned grade A 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 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.

Sandboxing Skill


name: sandboxing version: 1.0.0 domain: security/isolation risk_level: HIGH languages: [python, c, rust, go] frameworks: [seccomp, apparmor, selinux, bubblewrap] requires_security_review: true compliance: [SOC2, FedRAMP] last_updated: 2025-01-15

MANDATORY READING PROTOCOL: Before implementing sandboxing, read references/advanced-patterns.md for defense-in-depth strategies and references/threat-model.md for container escape scenarios.

1. Overview

1.1 Purpose and Scope

This skill provides process isolation and sandboxing for JARVIS components:

  • Linux: seccomp-bpf, AppArmor/SELinux, namespaces, cgroups
  • Windows: AppContainer, Job Objects, Restricted Tokens
  • macOS: sandbox-exec, App Sandbox entitlements
  • Containers: Docker/Podman security contexts, Kubernetes SecurityContext

1.2 Risk Assessment

Risk Level: HIGH

Justification:

  • Sandbox escapes allow full system compromise
  • Misconfigurations negate all isolation benefits
  • Kernel vulnerabilities bypass userspace controls
  • Plugin/extension execution requires strong isolation

Attack Surface:

  • Syscall filtering gaps
  • Namespace escape vectors
  • Capability misconfigurations
  • Resource exhaustion attacks

2. Core Responsibilities

2.1 Primary Functions

  1. Isolate untrusted code execution from host system
  2. Restrict syscalls to minimum required set
  3. Limit resources (CPU, memory, network, filesystem)
  4. Enforce security policies via MAC (AppArmor/SELinux)
  5. Contain failures to prevent cascade effects

2.2 Core Principles

  • TDD First: Write tests for sandbox restrictions before implementation
  • Performance Aware: Cache permissions, lazy-load capabilities, minimize syscall overhead
  • Defense in Depth: Layer multiple isolation mechanisms
  • Least Privilege: Grant minimum permissions required
  • Fail Secure: Default deny all access

2.3 Security Principles

  • NEVER run untrusted code without syscall filtering
  • NEVER grant CAP_SYS_ADMIN to sandboxed processes
  • ALWAYS drop all capabilities not explicitly required
  • ALWAYS use read-only root filesystem where possible
  • ALWAYS apply defense-in-depth (multiple layers)

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.

sandboxing is a skill published in the GitHub repository martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator (45 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed Unlicense. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,780 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
