orka: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/agent-sandbox-deploy/SKILL.md

agent-sandbox-deploy is a skill for Codex from orka-agents/orka. It costs 85 tokens per session (4,466 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A skill for running the Kubernetes agent-sandbox workspace provider on a local kind cluster. Kubernetes is software for running containers, kind runs a small Kubernetes cluster locally, and the provider gives agents temporary workspaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Deploying agent-sandbox locally, testing workspace adapters and ACP tasks, and troubleshooting the bundled end-to-end test.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to install, configure, and check this experimental local setup without treating it as production infrastructure.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex; $skill-name invocation.

This is orka-agents/orka's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on orka itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything orka configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash hack/demos/cluster/install-agent-sandbox.sh.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to orka-agents/orka. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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 C, and why

agent-sandbox-deploy scanned grade C 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 3d 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

Agent Sandbox Deploy

Stand up the experimental kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox workspace provider against an Orka controller on a local kind cluster. Validate install/config, the direct workspace-adapter lifecycle, and workspace-backed ACP Tasks. Manual deployments keep --acp-workspace-dispatch-enabled off unless the operator explicitly enables it; the bundled E2E enables the gate and runs a real Codex prompt against a local Responses-compatible fixture.

This skill is for local/kind evaluation and validation, not production. Orka does not install or manage upstream agent-sandbox CRDs, the router, templates, or warm pools in production — install and operate those separately. See website/docs/concepts/agent-sandbox.md for the full design and the production controller flags.

What this skill orchestrates (do not retype)

The repeatable standup already lives in hack/demos/cluster/install-agent-sandbox.sh. Drive that script in place; do not copy it into the skill. Orka requires agent-sandbox v1.0.0. The script defaults ORKA_AGENT_SANDBOX_VERSION to that version, matching go.mod, and owns the gotchas (kind registry addressing, the SDK sandbox-router build from the Go module cache, the controller flag patch). Use the version override only for a coordinated future dependency upgrade with matching adapter validation.

Existing v0.5 installations must complete the upstream storage migration before applying v1.0.0. The script does not run or preflight that migration. After a successful v1 install, it removes only the four obsolete namespaced conversion-webhook resources documented by upstream; it leaves the active cluster-scoped controller RBAC intact.

What the script does:

  1. Base layer (always): installs agent-sandbox CRDs + controllers, applies the orka-live-template SandboxTemplate, and patches the existing Orka controller Deployment with --agent-sandbox-enabled=true, --agent-sandbox-router-url, --agent-sandbox-default-template, --agent-sandbox-cleanup-policy, and --execution-workspace-default-provider=agent-sandbox.
  2. Agentic layer (AGENTIC=1, default): builds + pushes the sandbox-runtime image (real codex + git + gh). When the pinned sandbox-router source is present in the Go module cache, it also builds, pushes, and deploys the router; otherwise it logs operator guidance. It reuses an existing vekil deployment, otherwise attempts helper-based deployment when available (or logs operator guidance when not), creates the model Secret, creates the Git Secret only when a token is available, and ensures the Orka API client ServiceAccount.

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.

agent-sandbox-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository orka-agents/orka (22 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 4,466 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (reaches for credential files, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
