coding-agent
An AI agent skill from smol-machines/smolvm, scored 58 out of 100 by code.
Code score by group
It loses the most points in Procedure (15), the group that checks whether the steps are numbered, read the context first and say what to do when something fails.
What the author says it does
Runs a coding agent (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex or any other) inside a persistent smolvm machine with the project mounted, so it can run with full permissions without touching the host. Use when someone wants to sandbox their coding agent, run it in skip-permissions or YOLO mode safely, or give it a disposable environment it can install anything into. Do not use it to run untrusted code with no network; use throwaway-machine for that.
