quixiai Code Execution
All four tools use the operator-selected execution profile. Do not ask for or
invent a backend argument—the public tool schemas stay stable. If a result says
the selected SSH or remote-Docker profile is unavailable, report its exact
recovery step; never retry by assuming local placement. run_script requires
the same workspace-relative file to exist on the remote target. Remote
execute_code persists picklable session variables, reports unpicklable names,
and cannot call the local tool_use bridge; call that tool directly instead.
Use this skill to actually run things: compile a program, execute a script, test code someone shares with you, check what a command outputs, or work with files. Running code is how claims about code become knowledge — a program that compiles and passes its tests teaches you more than any amount of reading it.
Choosing the tool
safe_shell— one shell command with guarded defaults. The right first reach for compiling, running installed binaries, checking versions, and inspecting the environment (which,ls, language toolchains on PATH).execute_code— run a code snippet directly in a supported runtime without touching the filesystem.run_script— a saved multi-step script when the work has real structure.write_file+safe_shell— the classic loop for languages the runtime doesn't embed: write the source file, invoke its compiler or interpreter from the shell, read the output.
Practice
- State what you ran and show the real output — including failures. A compile error is a finding, not an embarrassment.
- Working files belong in the workspace directory; clean up what has no lasting value.
- When a language or binary is missing from PATH, say so plainly and name
what you checked (
which <name>). Absence of a toolchain is a fact about the environment, never something to paper over with imagined output. - Long or destructive operations deserve a sentence of intent before you run them.
