development-desktop skillA
development-desktop is agent-read markdown (skill) from nebius/nebius-physical-ai: Set up and operate a persistent Ubuntu development desktop with VS Code and Codex through npa tools desktop, including readable Retina rendering and authenticated public HTTPS access..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Development desktop Use `npa tools desktop` for an operator's remote development environment. Implementation belongs in `npa/src/npa/tools/desktop`, independently of Workbench. 1. Inventory the exact existing VM and its SSH access. Preserve its checkout, running applications, credentials, and unrelated services. The current installer supports Ubuntu AMD64 and requires passwordless sudo. 2. Run `npa tools desktop setup --ssh-host <alias> --dry-run --json`, then the same command without `--dry-run`. This installs XFCE, TigerVNC, the pinned noVNC viewer, full VS Code, and the Codex extension. Reuse existing VNC and keyring passwords. The desktop stays on loopback unless public access is explicitly requested. 3. Open with `npa tools desktop open --ssh-host <alias>`. Prefer one active viewer; old noVNC tabs can resize the shared desktop using CSS pixels and make Retina fonts look enormous. The viewer's **More space** control changes workspace scale while retaining lossless rendering and device-pixel density. `display --dpi 192` suits a Retina display; use 96 for standard density. …

How to install
mdr add nebius/nebius-physical-ai/development-desktop@git:20260923.f689ed1mdr add nebius/nebius-physical-ai/development-desktop@sha256:359594660f8f3abcPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
