SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex configuration required to run AI coding agents within a secure, isolated container environment, preventing environment drift and host system contamination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Launcher Verification: Ensures the cenci binary and shell aliases are correctly installed and accessible on the system path.
  • Container Orchestration: Builds repository-specific Docker or Podman images to provide a consistent, reproducible workspace for coding agents.
  • Use Case: When onboarding a new repository, use this skill to verify your local environment and build the project-specific sandbox image, ensuring your AI agent has the correct dependencies and permissions to execute tasks safely.

Quick Start

Run the setup skill to verify your launcher and build the required container image for this repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an isolated sandbox environment for AI coding agents?▼

This Skill automates isolated sandbox setup by verifying the cenci binary on your PATH and building repository-specific Docker or Podman container images, providing a secure, reproducible workspace for AI coding agents.

Do I need Docker or Podman to configure a containerized coding workspace?▼

Yes, you need either Docker or Podman runtime availability to configure the containerized coding workspace. The setup process requires a compatible runtime to build project-specific sandbox images and ensure correct PATH configuration for the cenci CLI.

What's the best way to prevent environment drift when running AI coding tasks?▼

The best way to prevent environment drift and host system contamination is to build repository-specific container images. This approach provides a consistent, reproducible workspace where AI agents execute tasks safely within an isolated environment.

Why does my cenci binary fail to launch inside the sandbox?▼

Your cenci binary may fail to launch if it is not correctly installed or accessible on the system path. The setup Skill addresses this by verifying launcher availability and ensuring shell aliases are properly configured before building the container image.

Can I use Podman instead of Docker for building isolated agent execution environments?▼

Yes, you can use Podman instead of Docker. The container orchestration feature supports building repository-specific images using either Docker or Podman runtime, allowing you to create a secure, containerized environment based on your available tools.
