Awesome Templates for Agent Sandbox

A curated collection of sandbox templates for the Agent Sandbox SDK and the abx CLI.

How to build, list, and accept a template is docs/template-spec.md (中文). _skeleton/ is a directory that passes that spec. It is not a catalog entry.

The index in awesome-templates.yaml is what abx template search and abx template install <name> read. Verified on lists a provider only when that template has a passing evidence file under <name>/evidence/. An empty cell means no passing run is recorded.

Templates

OpenSandbox's public sandbox images (code-interpreter, code-interpreter-base, desktop, playwright, vscode) are resolved by the SDK. This catalog does not vendor those Dockerfiles.

abx template install builds these Dockerfile templates on alicloud-express only. The CLI does not load the other providers. base and code-interpreter-v1 are CLI builtins, so a bare install does not use the directories in this repo. OpenSandbox create takes an image URI and replaces the container entrypoint, so these Dockerfiles do not start there until the image is pushed and the server is started by hand.

The static registry page is registry/index.html. It is the page intended for registry.agent-sandbox.cn; that DNS name is not wired up here.

Deploy

Install from this index (builds and registers the template):

abx template install python-hello
abx template install alibaba-agent-sandbox/awesome-templates//codex@v1.0.0

Publish the template in the current directory:

abx deploy

abx template install ./<name> --registry-type local --download-only only fills the local cache (~/.abx/templates/) and does not build an image. Search the index with abx template search python or abx template search ai-agent --status official.

Top-level shortcuts are create, list, info, kill, exec, connect, upload, download, run, and deploy. Scaffold and install a template with abx template init and abx template install.

Local end-to-end tests

From this directory, with agent-sandbox-server, httpx, and pyyaml installed:

python3 scripts/check_template.py --all
python3 scripts/run_local_e2e.py

run_local_e2e.py starts python3 commands.py for every template directory that has commands.py and e2e_test.py, on an ephemeral port, sets E2E_BASE_URL, runs that directory's e2e_test.py, and stops the process. It also runs the checker. Every template's e2e must exit 0. A spec_version: 2 template that fails the checker fails this script. Directories that predate the spec are listed and do not fail it. E2E_RUN_LLM=0 makes the model call a SKIP. That skip is not acceptance of the agent. The same script is .github/workflows/e2e.yml.

Express (L2) is python3 scripts/express_e2e.py <name>. Credentials and exit codes are in the spec. It deletes the sandbox and the template it created.
