Do work in an Upstash Box, a sandboxed cloud container driven through the remote Upstash MCP server (mcp.upstash.com), instead of on the local machine. Use when the user asks to run, build, test, clone, or edit something remotely, in a sandbox, in the cloud, or in a box, when the deliverable is a pull request, a public preview URL, or a screenshot of a running app, when the local machine cannot deliver (no GitHub login for gh, no way to expose a port, a dirty or slow local checkout), when several independent tasks should run in parallel on separate machines, a code factory that turns a list of tasks into a list of pull requests, or when the deliverable is a video, screen recording, demo or timelapse of a browser, web app, terminal program or agent run. Applies whenever the session has the box_* and blob_* MCP tools, even when Upstash is not named.
Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads upstash/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.
