Daytona CLI setup, sandbox debugging, keep a sandbox alive, secrets volume, snapshot refresh. Use when Daytona itself is the problem, not for running tests (see run-tests).

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

# Daytona

Use this skill for Daytona infrastructure, not test placement.

## Setup

Install the Daytona CLI with `brew install daytonaio/cli/daytona`, then authenticate:

```bash
daytona login
```

### Which identity the CLI uses

- **Environment key.** The CLI uses `DAYTONA_API_KEY` only when
  `DAYTONA_API_URL=https://app.daytona.io/api` is also set; with the key alone
  it silently falls back to the saved profile. Scope the team key (Infisical
  `dev`, `/openwork-ops`) to one command:
  `DAYTONA_API_URL=https://app.daytona.io/api DAYTONA_API_KEY="$(infisical secrets get DAYTONA_API_KEY --env dev --path /openwork-ops --plain --silent)" <command>`.
- **Saved profile.** Otherwise the active profile in
  `$DAYTONA_CONFIG_DIR/config.json` (default: macOS
  `~/Library/Application Support/daytona/`, Linux `~/.config/daytona/`,
  Windows `%APPDATA%\daytona\`). Point `DAYTONA_CONFIG_DIR` at an empty
  directory to test the not-logged-in path without touching the real profile.
- **Never run `daytona login --api-key` on someone's machine for a one-off
  task.** It overwrites their profile, and with it their browser login, for
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add different-ai/openwork/daytona@sha256:7f8592eaf501afd0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.1cc7242, 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.
