What it does

Add Sandbox Provider is an agent skill from computesdk/benchmarks. Prep a new sandbox provider for the ComputeSDK benchmarks (wire up the dependency, env var, providers list, and CI workflow). Use when asked to add, onboard, or stage a new sandbox/compute provider — e.g. "add provider X", "onboard the foo sandbox", "set up bar for benchmarks".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: Compare performance across sandbox, storage, browsers, and ai gateway providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Stage a new sandbox/compute provider — e.g

Example prompts

  • “add provider X”
  • “onboard the foo sandbox”
  • “set up bar for benchmarks”
  • “/add-sandbox-provider”

Requirements

  • A credential in FOO_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify the package and its factory shape
  2. Add the dependency
  3. Document the env var(s)
  4. Stage the provider entry (commented)
  5. Stage the CI workflow (commented)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6983ce0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • git
    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, git and pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Add Sandbox Provider loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 455 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Prep a new sandbox provider for the ComputeSDK benchmarks (wire up the dependency, env var, providers list, and CI workflow). Use when asked to add, onboard, or stage a new sandbox/compute provider — e.g. "add provider X", "onboard the foo sandbox", "set up bar for benchmarks".

Add a sandbox provider to the benchmarks

This repo benchmarks ComputeSDK sandbox providers. A provider is wired across four files. New providers are staged (every change commented out) until the provider's API secret exists as a GitHub repo secret — then they're activated by uncommenting. The beam provider is the reference example of a staged provider.

Inputs you need from the user (ask if missing): the provider name (lowercase, as it appears on npm @computesdk/<name>) and the env var(s) it authenticates with (e.g. FOO_API_KEY).

1. Verify the package and its factory shape

Never guess the factory name or config keys — confirm against the published package:

bash
npm view @computesdk/<name> version          # confirm it exists, get the version
cd /tmp && npm pack @computesdk/<name>        # then inspect the type defs:
tar -xzf computesdk-<name>-*.tgz -O package/dist/index.d.ts | grep -nE 'declare const|Config|export'

Note the exported factory (usually <name>) and its config interface — which key holds the API key, and whether the key falls back to an env var. Most factories take { apiKey }; some take { token }, { token, workspace }, etc.

2. Add the dependency

In package.json add "@computesdk/<name>": "^<version>" to dependencies, in alphabetical order. Then sync the lockfile:

bash
pnpm install

Confirm the diff only added the new package — git diff --stat package-lock.json (npm may report removing/changing packages while reconciling node_modules on disk; that's fine as long as the committed lockfile only gained the new entry).

3. Document the env var(s)

In benchmarks/.env.example append a section (staged providers live near the bottom, by BEAM):

######### <NAME> ########
<NAME>_API_KEY=your_<name>_api_key

4. Stage the provider entry (commented)

In benchmarks/sandbox/providers.ts:

  • Add a commented import near the other imports: // import { <name> } from '@computesdk/<name>';
  • Add a commented entry in the providers[] array (direct-mode section, alphabetical):
ts
// {
//   name: '<name>',
//   requiredEnvVars: ['<NAME>_API_KEY'],
//   createCompute: () => <name>({ apiKey: process.env.<NAME>_API_KEY! }),
// },

Keep the entry minimal — only name, requiredEnvVars, createCompute. Do NOT copy sandboxOptions, destroyTimeoutMs, etc. from a neighboring provider; those are provider-specific (e.g. autoStopInterval is Daytona-only). Add an option only if the factory's own config documents it.

5. Stage the CI workflow (commented)

In .github/workflows/sandbox-benchmarks.yml, two spots, both commented like the beam lines:

  • The matrix.provider list: # - <name>
  • The Run benchmark step's env: block: # <NAME>_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.<NAME>_API_KEY }}

What you do NOT need to touch

  • A bench:<name> script in package.json is optional; CI invokes --provider ${{ matrix.provider }} directly. Skip it unless asked.
  • No tests enumerate providers.

Why staged (and why it's safe to activate later)

The runner gracefully skips any provider whose requiredEnvVars are missing — it returns a skipped: true result rather than failing (see benchmarks/sandbox/benchmark.ts, the missingVars check). So activating without the secret wouldn't break CI; staging is a convention to keep the provider list reflecting what's actually being benchmarked until the secret is added.

Activation (later, once the repo secret exists)

Uncomment all four staged blocks: the import and providers[] entry in providers.ts, the matrix line, and the workflow env: line. Add the <NAME>_API_KEY secret in the repo settings first.

Final check

Run git diff and confirm the change set is exactly: package.json, package-lock.json, benchmarks/.env.example, benchmarks/sandbox/providers.ts, .github/workflows/sandbox-benchmarks.yml — and that every provider-specific line is commented out (staged).
