sandbox-basics

sandbox-basics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mpfaffenberger/code_puppy. It costs 45 tokens per session (328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the setup and limits of a Docker sandbox, an isolated environment for running tools and code. It explains network allow-lists, credential handling, Python tool installation, and where the agent's configuration is stored.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when commands cannot reach a service, authentication fails, a Python tool is missing, or you need to know whether a configuration change will persist. It covers the sandbox's Docker, proxy, and package-tool setup.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose failures caused by blocked network hosts, unavailable credentials, missing tools, or temporary configuration changes. It also prevents attempts to bypass the sandbox's access rules.

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

sandbox-basics 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Sandbox basics

  • You are the agent user in a Docker sandbox. Your Code Puppy config is in ~/.code_puppy/; the project workspace is a separate mount.
  • Egress is allow-list based. A blocked host fails fast: report the exact hostname and why you need it so the user can extend the policy (sbx policy), instead of working around it.
  • Provider keys (META_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY) contain placeholders. The host proxy swaps in the real key only for that provider's API domain. Code that sends a key anywhere else will fail authentication by design. meta-* models come from the meta_oauth plugin; /meta-status shows which credential source is active.
  • Install Python tools with uvx <tool> (ephemeral) or uv tool install <tool> (persistent). PyPI egress is allowed.
  • Sandbox config is seeded at creation from the code-puppy-config kit. Edits you make under ~/.code_puppy/ last for this sandbox's lifetime; durable changes belong in the kit on the host.

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.

sandbox-basics is a skill published in the GitHub repository mpfaffenberger/code_puppy (870 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 328 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-18.
