You can create a sandbox simulation by implementing three execution modes—Preview, Dry Run, and Guarded Run—to isolate agent actions from production. This approach supports what-if analyses, rollback planning, and clear isolation between sandbox and production environments.

Preview, Dry Run, and Guarded Run are three sandbox execution modes that present outcomes with varying levels of isolation and rollback capabilities. They allow you to progressively test agent actions, starting from safe previews up to guarded executions with full rollback support.

To set up isolation architecture, you should separate production and sandbox resources across files, APIs, and data layers. This involves implementing snapshot or overlay techniques and mock layers to ensure agent actions in the sandbox do not impact production systems.

Yes, you can perform what-if analysis and rollback planning for risky operations in a controlled environment. The sandbox simulation supports risk assessment, change previews, and fast rollback to safe states, ensuring auditable execution of agent actions.

The best way to design a rollback-ready sandbox is to define clear execution modes, establish isolation architecture with mock layers, and specify rollback mechanisms. This ensures resource management and auditable execution while supporting comprehensive what-if risk analysis.

No external dependencies are required to implement a three-mode sandbox simulation. The skill provides self-contained architecture guidance for isolation, rollback specifications, and resource management to safely execute and preview agent actions.
