crabbox-setup
Scaffold an isolated CLOUD dev box per agent (via crabbox + Daytona) for any codebase — the parallel-safe counterpart to dev-local-setup. Each agent gets its own full stack (own DB + dev server) and an in-box browser for e2e, so concurrent loops never collide on ports/state. Sets up the snapshot image, .crabbox.yaml, an idempotent setup.sh (also boots the stack locally), and a cbx.sh wrapper. Use when the user says "set up crabbox", "give each agent its own box", "add cloud testing", "make this repo testable in the cloud / on Daytona", "parallel-test this", or when setup-codebase-harness nee

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# crabbox-setup — an isolated cloud box per agent `dev-local-setup` gives you **one** local stack. But the loop-engineer model runs **many loops in parallel**, and you can't run N full stacks on one laptop — fixed ports, one Docker daemon, one shared DB; worktrees don't fix that (they still share the host). This skill is the cloud/parallel counterpart: a **fresh isolated box per agent** (own DB +

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add AI-Builder-Club/skills --skill crabbox-setup --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From AI-Builder-Club/skills, a repository with 1,147 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
