What it does
Kid Agents is an agent skill from elophanto/EloPhanto. Use when running dangerous shell commands, installing untrusted packages, or testing untrusted code that could damage the host. Spawns a sandboxed kid (a child EloPhanto inside a hardened container) where rm -rf, fork bombs, kernel-touching ops, and similar are safely contained. Default vault scope is empty; default network is outbound-only. Distinct from organization specialists — kids are ephemeral, identity-less, and disposable.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Source-available autonomous AI agent with a self-model that actually changes as it runs - ego, affect and identity grounded in real psychology (Higgins, PAD/OCC). Writes its own…
When your agent uses it
- Running dangerous shell commands
- Installing untrusted packages
- Testing untrusted code that could damage the host
Example prompts
- “/kid-agents”
Requirements
- Docker
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- decide if a kid is the right tool
- spawn
- execute
- read outputs (optional)
- destroy
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7bfc65d. 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:
docker
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker, 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
Kid Agents loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 832 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 832 words (~1,620 tokens).
“A kid is a child EloPhanto running inside a hardened Docker container. It exists to do things that are too dangerous to run on the host: package installs, untrusted scripts, fork bombs, kernel-poking, code you don't fully trust. The container's…”
