Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

Install npm packages in a Docker sandbox environment. Use this skill whenever you need to install, reinstall, or update node_modules inside a container where the workspace is mounted via virtiofs. Native binaries (esbuild, lightningcss, rollup) crash on virtiofs, so packages must be installed on the local ext4 filesystem and symlinked back.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'sandbox-npm-install' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'sandbox-npm-install' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named sandbox-npm-install already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '227949a7542a55d2155c00e7cdb998d9a0fee4f3' -- 'skills/sandbox-npm-install' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/sandbox-npm-install' ~/.agents/skills/'sandbox-npm-install' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'sandbox-npm-install' ~/.claude/skills/'sandbox-npm-install' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
