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
bash
# 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
bash
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-nanvixfrom source - •Configure everything for standalone use
3. Activate and Use
bash
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 scripts/run.py --lang javascript --code 'console.log("Hello!");'
Quick Start
JavaScript
bash
python3 scripts/run.py --lang javascript --code 'console.log(2 + 2);'
Python
bash
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
bash
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
bash
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
bash
python3 scripts/run.py --lang python --file my_script.py
Manual Installation (Alternative)
If you prefer to install dependencies manually:
bash
# 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
