Adds "Offloading work to a Vercel Sandbox": how to use the vercel sandbox CLI as remote workers for heavy builds, test suites, benchmarks and parallel agent experiments. Covers base snapshots, per-task sandboxes, source pushes that keep dependencies, detached long jobs, fair A/B benchmarking inside one VM, sharding, baseline failure triage, auth, a small wrapper script, and cost hygiene. Complements vercel-sandbox, which covers running untrusted code through the SDK.
Keep the skill to what an agent needs to get offloaded work done: drop the benchmarking section and related signals, keeping one note about comparing timings in the same sandbox, and remove pitfalls that repeat earlier sections.

Adds a new skill, Offloading work to a Vercel Sandbox (
skills/offload-to-sandbox). It's about using thevercel sandboxCLI as remote workers for heavy builds, full test suites and many parallel (agent) tasks, so they don't load the local machine. It complementsvercel-sandbox, which covers running untrusted code through the SDK.The content comes from a multi-week performance program in which a dozen coding agents shared one laptop and offloaded builds and sharded test suites to Vercel Sandboxes. It is written to be project-agnostic:
