Claude Code Skills for MIOSA

Skills extend Claude Code with MIOSA-specific knowledge. Install them once and Claude automatically loads the right one when you ask for cloud infrastructure - no manual prompting.

What you get

SkillWhat it does
miosa-mcpUniversal entry point - explains the 145-tool surface and routes to specific skills
miosa-sandboxHeadless code-execution VMs (Python, Node, builds, CI)
miosa-computerDesktop VMs (browser automation, GUI, computer-use)
miosa-deployGit-backed web app hosting (Next.js, Vite, Flask, Django)
miosa-dataManaged Postgres/MySQL/Redis, S3 storage, volumes, cron

Each skill ships with an examples.md (or reference.md) bundled file Claude loads on demand. SKILL.md bodies stay under 100 lines - minimum context cost, maximum signal.

Install

git clone https://github.com/Miosa-osa/miosa-skills.git
cp -r miosa-skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Or per-project:

cp -r miosa-skills/* .claude/skills/

Verify

Open Claude Code in any project and ask:

What skills are available?

You should see all 5 miosa-* skills listed.

How they activate

You don’t need to invoke them manually. Each skill declares trigger phrases in its description and when_to_use frontmatter. Say things like:

  • “create a sandbox and run this” → miosa-sandbox loads
  • “take a screenshot and click the login button” → miosa-computer loads
  • “deploy this repo to production” → miosa-deploy loads
  • “I need a Postgres database” → miosa-data loads

You can also invoke directly with /miosa-sandbox, /miosa-computer, etc.

Structure (official Agent Skills spec)

~/.claude/skills/miosa-sandbox/
├── SKILL.md         # YAML frontmatter + tight overview (<100 lines)
└── examples.md      # Workflow patterns, loaded on demand

Each SKILL.md includes:

  • description - what the skill does, when to use it
  • when_to_use - trigger phrases for automatic activation
  • allowed-tools - pre-approved MCP tools (no permission prompts)

Body covers: lifecycle, sizes, conventions, the core loop, errors. Detailed examples live in the sibling file so they don’t bloat context until you need them.

What’s in each skill

miosa-mcp

  • Resource map (sandbox vs computer vs deployment vs database vs storage vs volume)
  • Universal conventions (IDs, status polling, sizes, paths, timeouts)
  • Decision tree pointing to the right resource skill
  • reference.md with the full 145-tool catalog by category

miosa-sandbox

  • Core loop: create_sandboxexecdestroy_sandbox
  • Size guidance (small=4GB, medium for builds, etc.)
  • Heredoc trick for multi-file projects
  • examples.md: build-and-serve, data processing, snapshot reuse, PR testing, benchmarks

miosa-computer

  • Screenshot → identify → click/type → screenshot → verify loop
  • Coordinate system (1024×768, absolute pixels)
  • Mouse/keyboard tool table
  • examples.md: browser automation, form filling, checkpoints, services, drag-drop, hotkeys

miosa-deploy

  • GitHub → deployment flow
  • Sandbox promotion via sandbox_deploy
  • Framework auto-detection table
  • examples.md: Next.js+DB, preview branches, rollback, env updates

miosa-data

  • Database creation + credential wiring
  • Storage buckets + presigned URLs (PUT and GET)
  • Volume vs storage decision table
  • Cron schedule reference
  • examples.md: full-app patterns, backup pipelines, client-direct uploads

Customizing

The skills are intentionally tight. To extend:

  1. Add an examples.md entry under the skill that needs the pattern
  2. Add paths: to a skill’s frontmatter to restrict it to certain file types
  3. Override allowed-tools if you want manual approval on certain tools

To override a skill’s listing (e.g. hide one):

// .claude/settings.local.json
{
  "skillOverrides": {
    "miosa-computer": "off"
  }
}

Why skills instead of CLAUDE.md

CLAUDE.md content loads into context on every session. Skills load only when relevant. For 145 tools across 6 resource types, that’s the difference between burning ~3,000 tokens per session vs ~200 tokens (just the descriptions).

Updating

cd ~/.claude/skills
git -C miosa-skills pull
cp -r miosa-skills/* .

Claude Code watches the skills directory and picks up changes mid-session - no restart needed.

  • MCP guide - the 145-tool surface these skills wrap
  • CLI - miosa mcp install to configure the MCP server
  • Quickstart - get a sandbox running in under 60s
