Adds an AI agents tab: how to run an AI coding agent (the harness), its plugins and a sandbox from a Flox environment with flox agent.

Pages (all under ai-agents/)

  • Get started: overview (harness, plugins, sandboxes), quickstart with the frontend-design plugin
  • Guides: package a skill repository, audit a plugin, launch in a sandbox
  • Command reference: flox agent list, launch, import, audit, check-plugin

Placement: a fourth top tab. The alternative was a group inside Documentation, like Imageless Kubernetes; the tab was chosen so flox.dev/ai can link to one place.

Checked

  • Every command and output sample was run against the current flox/flox-agent catalog build (0.9.0-302)
  • vale ai-agents: clean (vocabulary additions in styles/config/vocabularies/Flox/accept.txt)
  • mint broken-links: nothing new (the 3 changelog RSS links are broken on main too)
  • llms.txt regenerated

For review

  • Tab name: "AI agents" keeps the open-source "agent stacks" name out. Easy to change.
  • The pages say "agent plugins" to avoid clashing with the existing manifest "Plugins" concept page.
  • Not covered: Linux sandbox specifics (srt AppArmor on Ubuntu 24.04, nono Landlock).

… command reference

Pages for running an AI coding agent from a Flox environment with
flox agent: the harness, agent plugins and sandboxes, a quickstart
with Claude Code and the frontend-design plugin, guides for
packaging a skill repository, auditing a plugin and launching in a
sandbox, and reference pages for list, launch, import, audit and
check-plugin. Navigation is added separately.
Option B for placing the AI agent pages: a fourth top-level tab,
before Changelog, grouped as Get started, Guides and Command
reference. llms.txt regenerated from the new navigation.
From Daniel's review: the quickstart opens the AI agents tab and says what each command does and why, SkillSpector links to its project, and the audit guide just says to pass a file path.
From Daniel's review: the only prerequisite is Flox. The guide installs nix into the environment and passes the experimental-features flag the catalog's nix needs for a flake build. Tested with nix 2.34.9 from the catalog and no user Nix config: import, build and check-plugin all pass.
…kgs-dir

Import now writes everything a package needs to build into the environment, so the packaging guide no longer goes through an agent-pkgs checkout. --out was removed in favour of --pkgs-dir, and the call file is default.json.
Installing from the Flox Catalog needs a FloxHub login since 20 Oct, and the quickstart's first flox install failed without one.
… folder

Since ADR 0087 audit also scans hooks, agents, commands, bin/ and other folders. srt hides only ~/.ssh, so the sandbox guide says so and shows denyRead for credentials such as ~/.aws.
