description	Execute JavaScript or Python code in a secure Hyperlight VM sandbox with full isolation. Use this when users request running code, performing calculations, testing algorithms, or demonstrating code behavior with actual output.

Execute Code Skill

Execute JavaScript or Python code in a secure Hyperlight VM sandbox with full isolation.

This skill is standalone and shareable - it can be copied to any .claude/skills/ directory and works independently of the original repository.

Requirements

Linux with KVM support (/dev/kvm)
Python 3.8+
Git (for cloning hyperlight-nanvix)
Rust toolchain (installed automatically by setup script)

When to Use

Use this skill when:

The user asks to run, execute, or test code
You need to verify calculations or algorithm correctness
You want to demonstrate code behavior with actual output

Standalone Installation

To use this skill in a new project or share it with others:

1. Copy the Skill

# Copy the entire execute-code directory to your project
cp -r /path/to/execute-code ~/.claude/skills/
# Or for project-specific use:
cp -r /path/to/execute-code /your/project/.claude/skills/

2. Run Setup

cd ~/.claude/skills/execute-code
./scripts/setup.sh

The setup script will:

Create a virtual environment in .venv
Install Rust nightly toolchain (if not present)
Clone and build hyperlight-nanvix from source
Configure everything for standalone use

3. Activate and Use

source .venv/bin/activate
python3 scripts/run.py --lang javascript --code 'console.log("Hello!");'

Quick Start

JavaScript

python3 scripts/run.py --lang javascript --code 'console.log(2 + 2);'

Python

python3 scripts/run.py --lang python --code 'print(2 + 2)'

Usage Notes

JavaScript: Use console.log() to see output
Python: Use print() to see output
Code runs in VM-isolated sandbox (hyperlight-nanvix)
The skill is self-contained with its own virtual environment

Examples

Calculate Fibonacci

python3 scripts/run.py --lang javascript --code '
const fib = n => n <= 1 ? n : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2);
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) console.log("fib(" + i + ") =", fib(i));
'

Prime Numbers

python3 scripts/run.py --lang python --code '
primes = [n for n in range(2, 50) if all(n % i for i in range(2, int(n**0.5)+1))]
print(f"Primes under 50: {primes}")
'

Execute from File

python3 scripts/run.py --lang python --file my_script.py

Manual Installation (Alternative)

If you prefer to install dependencies manually:

# 1. Install Rust nightly
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
rustup install nightly

# 2. Clone and build hyperlight-nanvix
git clone https://github.com/hyperlight-dev/hyperlight-nanvix.git
cd hyperlight-nanvix
pip install maturin
maturin develop --features python
