Docker's skill for sbxenv.yaml, the declarative file that describes a Docker Sandboxes environment for running an AI coding agent in a microVM.
What the skill teaches
Docker's skill for sbxenv.yaml, the declarative file that describes a Docker Sandboxes environment for running an AI coding agent in a microVM. It helps the agent write and update that file: the agent workload and the kits layered on it, arguments, secrets, registries and bindings, workspace mounts, ports, MCP servers, sandbox options and host-side lifecycle commands, and it explains the plan and approval step before sbx env creates or runs it. A bundled Python helper reads the live kit catalog on Docker Hub so kit versions can be chosen and pinned. The feature and the skill are marked experimental.
