shell-execution-sandbox SKILL.md skillA

shell-execution-sandbox from tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/shell-execution-sandbox@v2.0

Pins v2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Enable and configure the sandboxed shell execution tool with command allowlists, Docker isolation, and audit logging for agents that run terminal commands.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Shell Execution Sandbox

> **Disclaimer — your machine, your risk.** `shell-execute` runs real processes on the host (or in an optional Docker sandbox you configure). Allowlists and blocklists reduce accidents but are not a guarantee. Only enable for trusted codebases and accounts; review allowed command names and working-directory rules before production use. Cortex exposes this as an **explicit opt-in** in the Lab builder with the same warning.

## Agent objective

Produce a builder with shell execution enabled, the correct allowlist for the task, and appropriate safety config — without exposing destructive commands.

## When to load this skill

- Agent needs to run terminal commands (git, file operations, build tools)
- Agent generates and executes code (Node, Bun, Python)
- Task requires reading directory structure, running tests, or processing files
- CI/CD or automation agent workflows

## Implementation baseline

```ts
const agent = await ReactiveAgents.create()
  .withProvider("anthropic")
  .withReasoning({ defaultStrategy: "plan-execute-reflect", maxIterations: 15 })
  .withTools({
    allowedTools: ["shell-execute", "file-read", "checkpoint"],

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/shell-execution-sandbox@sha256:ab73dc71a5573265

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
