aide-sandbox-loop from anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

SOP for the Sandbox Execution Loop — model proposals are written to an isolated scratch copy, tests/lint run against the SCRATCH, only verified diffs reach the user, failures auto-feed error context back for bounded retries. The single differentiator vs Cursor/Windsurf (they show diffs and hope). Use when building or extending proposal verification anywhere in AIDE.
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
# Sandbox Execution Loop ## WHY THIS EXISTS (the differentiation thesis) Cursor/Windsurf/Copilot: propose diff → human reviews → hope it works → human runs tests. AIDE: propose → **scratch copy** → **tests execute before human review** → green checkmark + verified diff reaches the user, or the failure auto-feeds back to the model (bounded retries). The user's review happens on PRE-VERIFIED changes. This inverts the trust problem and is the single most demoable, star-worthy behavior AIDE owns. Research alignment: - Feedback-Over-Form (2604.21950): execution-feedback refinement >4σ improvement BUT bounded iterations mandatory (forced extra iterations NET-NEGATIVE) → max 3 retries, early-stop on pass. - SWE-agent/aider practice: retry-with-error-context beats retry-blind. - Our own post-training-closed-loop doctrine: generate → AST/exec verify → self-correct → confidence. ## ARCHITECTURE (all local, reuses shipped infrastructure) ``` model proposes patch (SEARCH/REPLACE blocks or unified diff) ↓ daemon validates syntax (patch.mjs — SHIPPED) ↓ materialize SCRATCH: copy each target file to .aide/scratch/<sessionId>/ …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-sandbox-loop@sha256:e6e23d463a3a7b77The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.e9ac98d, 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.
