Islo Skills

Agent skills and plugin metadata for working with Islo, the sandbox and automation platform for AI coding agents.

This repo teaches coding agents how to use Islo for:

• Automations: scheduled jobs, manual job runs, and webhook-triggered jobs
• Sandbox lifecycle: create, connect, exec, pause, resume, stop, and delete
• Built-in agents: Claude Code, Cursor agent, and Codex inside Islo sandboxes
• Gateway integrations: GitHub, Slack, and other provider credentials without copying tokens into the sandbox
• SDK usage: programmatic integrations with the generated Islo SDKs

For runnable automation templates, use islo-labs/islo-agents. That repo contains concrete GitHub Actions wrappers, job.toml manifests, prompts, and the shared agent harness for PR review, CI babysitting, E2E verification, and task execution.

Install

Generic Skills installer

npx skills add islo-labs/skills

Cursor

Cursor discovers this repo through .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json. Install it through Cursor's plugin marketplace flow, or point a local plugin install at this repo while developing.

The plugin includes an MCP server entry for the Islo docs:

https://docs.islo.dev/_mcp/server

Claude Code

Add the marketplace and install the plugin:

/plugin marketplace add islo-labs/skills
/plugin install islo@islo-plugin

For local development, point Claude Code at the plugin root:

plugins/islo

Codex and other agents

Agents that support the common plugin layout can load plugins/islo. Agents that only support skills can install with npx skills add and configure the docs MCP server manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "islo-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.islo.dev/_mcp/server"
    }
  }
}

Development

Keep the skill concise and move details into one-level reference files. Before publishing, validate JSON and check that the expected terms are present:

python -m json.tool .mcp.json
python -m json.tool .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json
