github-outside-sandbox: Design & UI for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

GitHub Outside Sandbox

Start normally. Escalate only the blocked command and only within the user's authorization.
If sandboxed gh auth status fails, rerun it outside the sandbox before claiming authentication is broken. Never expose or copy tokens.
Run GitHub CLI network operations outside the sandbox when required: gh repo ..., gh pr ..., and related gh commands.
Run Git writes outside the sandbox when .git is outside writable roots or errors mention index.lock or Operation not permitted: git add, git commit, and git push.
Use the harness's official host-execution mechanism. In Codex, set sandbox_permissions: "require_escalated", give a concrete justification, and use only a narrow safe prefix_rule when appropriate.
Never use shell wrappers, credential copying, or broad approval prefixes to bypass the sandbox.
Verify from the host context with git status -sb, git remote -v, and the relevant gh ... view command. Ask the user to authenticate only if the host-context check also fails.

# GitHub Outside Sandbox

1. Start normally. Escalate only the blocked command and only within the user's authorization.
2. If sandboxed `gh auth status` fails, rerun it outside the sandbox before claiming authentication is broken. Never expose or copy tokens.
3. Run GitHub CLI network operations outside the sandbox when required: `gh repo ...`, `gh pr ...`, and related `gh` commands.
4. Run Git writes outside the sandbox when `.git` is outside writable roots or errors mention `index.lock` or `Operation not permitted`: `git add`, `git commit`, and `git push`.
5. Use the harness's official host-execution mechanism. In Codex, set `sandbox_permissions: "require_escalated"`, give a concrete `justification`, and use only a narrow safe `prefix_rule` when appropriate.
6. Never use shell wrappers, credential copying, or broad approval prefixes to bypass the sandbox.
7. Verify from the host context with `git status -sb`, `git remote -v`, and the relevant `gh ... view` command. Ask the user to authenticate only if the host-context check also fails.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

License: MIT

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
AI review approval is missing
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
Review status: AI review approval is missing

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
