Orchestrate sandboxed coding agents in TypeScript with sandcastle.run()

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

TypeScript library for running AI coding agents in isolated sandboxes: a single sandcastle.run() call creates a branch, runs the agent, and merges its commits back. Supports native (Bubblewrap, Seatbelt), container (Docker, Podman), and cloud (E2B, Modal, Vercel, etc.) providers.

Useful for
  • Run multiple AFK agents in parallel across isolated sandboxes
  • Build a review pipeline where an agent edits code on an isolated branch
  • Plug in a custom sandbox provider via createSandbox()

1.8 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 3, 2026, 13:16 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

02040August 6, 2026November 3, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 11:25–13:09: 8802 → 8804 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +7 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • GitHub Trending TypeScript today: #12, +28 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 150. +21% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
