Skill Detail

Run agents in disposable microVM sandboxes with network allowlists and secret injection using Matchlock

Launch risky agent work inside disposable microVMs when you need stronger isolation, sealed egress, and host-side secret injection instead of direct host access.

Works best when you want a reusable capability, not another fragile one-off prompt.
At a glance
Tools required
Local shell, Matchlock CLI, virtualization support for the target host, and the agent image or command you want to run inside the microVM
Install & setup
Install Matchlock with Homebrew using `brew tap jingkaihe/essentials && brew install matchlock`, then run `matchlock diagnose` and complete any required host setup before launching a sandboxed agent run.

Quick brief

Use Matchlock when an agent must run code, install packages, and touch external APIs, but you do not want it operating directly on the host. The workflow is explicit: install Matchlock, verify host support, declare allowed hosts and secret mappings, run the agent inside a disposable microVM, and tear the environment down when the task is done.

How it works

What this skill actually does

The skill boundary is concrete and narrower than a generic VM or sandbox product listing. This is about microVM-based agent execution with network allowlisting and in-flight secret injection, not general virtualization, not a broad agent framework, and not a generic container runtime card.
