Cookbook¶

Task-focused recipes for the things people actually build with sandboxes. Set SISTEMO_API_KEY first (see the Cloud quickstart). The SDK recipes are copy-paste scripts. Volumes are REST — you still need a machine id.

Run an AI agent's code

The headline use case: execute LLM-generated code in an isolated VM, capture output, destroy.
Connect an LLM

Give Claude or OpenAI a sandbox to run the code it writes, and feed results back.
Install packages

pip install / npm install inside a sandbox, then run code that uses them.
Get files in and out

There is no file API. The three patterns that work, and the caps that apply.
Long-running work

sb.run(..., timeout=3600) waits. Same job as /execs.
Persist data with volumes

Keep data across sandbox destroy/recreate using a volume.

These map to the most common agent workflows. Tell us what's missing and we'll add a recipe.
