1. **Prepare Your Environment**: Ensure Incus is installed (`sudo apt install incus`) and initialized. Verify storage pools and network bridges are configured. 2. **Define Requirements**: Create a JSON config file with your specifications (e.g., `agent-config.json`): ```json { "container_name": "dev-nodejs-20241115", "language": "nodejs", "dependencies": ["nodejs@20", "npm@10"], "workspace_mount": { "host_path": "/home/user/projects/chatbot", "container_path": "/workspace" }, "resources": {"cpu": 2, "memory": "4GB"} } ``` 3. **Launch the Container**: Run the skill with your config: ```bash incus launch images:ubuntu/22.04 dev-nodejs-20241115 --config user.user-data="$(cat agent-config.json)" ``` 4. **Connect and Code**: Use the provided SSH command or VS Code remote connection. For Claude integration, configure the Incus bridge in your AI client settings. 5. **Manage Sessions**: Use `incus list` to monitor containers. To persist changes, avoid the `--force` flag during deletion. For cleanup, run: ```bash incus delete dev-nodejs-20241115 --force ``` **Tips:** - Use `incus config device add` to mount additional volumes (e.g., for datasets). - For GPU acceleration, add `--device gpu` to the launch command. - Monitor resource usage with `incus monitor` to avoid over-allocation.

Launch Claude Code, Cursor, or your preferred AI coding agent.
Use the prompt template or examples below to test the skill.
Adapt the skill to your specific use case and workflow.
Set up a [LANGUAGE] coding agent in Incus to [TASK_DESCRIPTION]. Use the 'code-on-incus' skill to create a persistent container named [CONTAINER_NAME] with [REQUIRED_RESOURCES] (e.g., 2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM). Mount the workspace from [HOST_PATH] to [CONTAINER_PATH]. Initialize the environment with [DEPENDENCIES] and connect to Claude for AI-assisted coding. Provide the container's IP address and SSH command for access. After completion, clean up the container unless [PERSIST] is set to true.
### Incus Coding Agent Setup Report **Container Details:** - Name: `dev-python-20241115` - Status: Running (Persistent) - IP Address: 10.0.0.15 - SSH Command: `ssh -p 2222 root@localhost` **Workspace Configuration:** - Host Path: `/home/user/projects/ai-assistant` - Container Path: `/workspace` - Permissions: Read/Write (UID 1000) **Environment Setup:** - Language: Python 3.11 - Dependencies Installed: - pip 23.3.1 - poetry 1.7.0 - numpy 1.26.2 - pandas 2.1.3 - langchain 0.0.350 - VS Code Server: Running on port 8080 **AI-Assisted Coding:** Claude has been connected to the container via the Incus bridge. The agent is ready to receive prompts like: ``` Create a FastAPI endpoint in /workspace/src/api.py that: 1. Accepts POST requests to /predict 2. Uses the loaded model from /workspace/models/ai_model.pkl 3. Returns predictions in JSON format ``` **Next Steps:** 1. Access the container via SSH: `ssh -p 2222 root@localhost` 2. Open VS Code Web UI at `http://localhost:8080` 3. Use Claude to generate or modify code in the mounted workspace 4. To persist changes after session end, the container will retain state unless explicitly destroyed. **Resource Usage:** - CPU: 1.2/2 vCPUs - Memory: 1.8/4GB - Disk: 12.4/50GB **Cleanup Command:** `incus delete dev-python-20241115 --force` (if not persisting)
