setting-up-a-box

Walk an operator through running an agent in a Strands Box for the first time, by following the getting started guide step by step. Use when someone asks to set up Box, try Box, run an agent in a box, or follow the getting started guide. Not for changing Box itself.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Setting up a box

Walk the operator through docs/user/getting-started.md in this checkout. Read the whole page first, then follow it step by step. The page owns every step and every command. This skill adds only what the page can't know: that you're inside a clone.

Rules

Follow the rules in the prompt under "Set up with your coding agent" on that page. They say what to check first, when to ask, and what never to do: don't touch the Bedrock API key, and don't run box run.

In a clone

  • Use the page in this checkout, not the copy on GitHub, so the steps match the code you build.
  • Offer to build Box from this checkout in place of the download. Run cargo build --release -p strands-box -p strands-box-containment here, then copy the three binaries into ~/box-tutorial/box-core the way the page's "Build from source" section does.

After setup

When the operator wants to change what the box allows, use the authoring-box-policy skill.

Author or edit a Strands Box policy (`policy.dw`) — turn an operator's natural-language allow/deny intent into a validated Dogwood policy over the box's fixed action vocabulary, including `when temporal { … }` history rules. Use when writing, editing, reviewing, or converting an intent into a box policy. This skill CREATES or EDITS a policy against the box's built-in schema — you never author a Dogwood schema, because the box ships a fixed one.

Debug a CI failure on an OS you are not on (you are on Linux, it fails on macos-latest, or the reverse) without opening a pull request per attempt. Use when a test is green on your machine and red on a GitHub runner, or when you need to run one test or one shell probe on a runner and read the result fast. The core move is a dispatchable, scoped workflow on your own fork: pick one OS, skip lint, filter to one test, and for environment questions run a no-build probe that returns in seconds instead of a ten-minute build. Iterate by pushing to the fork branch and re-dispatching, never by editing a PR.

Assess an existing Box documentation page (docs/user/, docs/design/, or a crate README.md) for accuracy against the code and its tests, placement, and voice, and recommend what to fix. Use before a rewrite, when a page may have drifted from the code, or when asked to "audit this page", "is this page still true", or "what is wrong with this doc".

Find the gaps in the Box documentation and produce a prioritized backlog for docs/user/ and docs/design/. Use when planning documentation work, after a feature or a binary ships without a page, for a periodic health check of the docs, or when asked "what docs need writing", "plan the docs work", "prioritize the docs backlog", or "what should we document next".

Review a Box documentation draft in docs/user/ or docs/design/ for placement, structure, altitude, readability, terminology, and claim scope, and give a verdict (Ship it, Tighten, or Rethink). Use after docs-writer produces a draft, before a docs pull request, or when asked to "review this draft", "check my docs", or "is this page ready to ship". Read-only.

Draft or rewrite a Box documentation page in docs/user/ (tutorial, how-to, or reference for an operator) or docs/design/ (explanation for a security evaluator or a contributor), or a crate README.md that serves a consumer. Use when asked to write a doc, draft a page, rewrite a page that failed audit, document a feature or a component, or write an architecture or security page. Not for docs/design/decisions.md (use kd), local specs (use spec), or research notes (use explore).
