code-execution
Skill2 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub
Execute code in a real cloud machine (code-interpreter style) — a full root Ubuntu VM with Python, Node, Go, Rust and every major runtime preinstalled, not a constrained isolate. Per-second billing makes a run cost cents. Use to run scripts, data jobs, or generated code that needs real packages, subprocesses, or Docker.
- Pipes a download into a shell
- Reads credentials
- Installs packages

Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
nek1987Skillcode-transfer
Transfer code between files with line-based precision. Use when users request copying code from one location to another, moving functions or classes between files, extracting code blocks, or inserting code at specific line numbers.

GoogleSkillalgorithmic-art
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 16
Prefer another tool for: thousands of <500 ms micro-executions (E2B/Modal microVMs) or GPU compute (Modal).
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Code execution (Box)
Use this when you need to actually run code and get its output: a Python data job, a Node script, a build, or generated code that does pip install, spawns subprocesses, or writes files. A real machine (vs a JS isolate or limited code-interpreter) means those operations succeed.
Why Box
- Every runtime preinstalled — Python 3, Node/Bun/Deno, Go, Rust, Java, .NET, Ruby, PHP, C/C++.
- Real OS —
apt install, Docker, subprocesses, 80 GB disk. - Cheap per run — per-second billing; a short execution costs cents.
Prefer another tool for: thousands of <500 ms micro-executions (E2B/Modal microVMs) or GPU compute (Modal).
Prereqs
curl -fsSL https://box.ascii.dev/install | sh, then box login "$BOX_API_KEY" --json.
Recipe
box_id="$(box new --json | jq -r 'select(.event == "ready") | .id')"
box ssh "$box_id" -- "cat > /tmp/main.py" < ./main.py
box ssh "$box_id" -- "cd /tmp && timeout 120 python3 main.py"
box delete "$box_id" --jsonLimits

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
