Provision and harden a fresh Linux VPS into an autonomous-agent dev host using the capability-preserving model — the box IS the sandbox: full agent autonomy inside it (non-root sudo user, open egress, YOLO mode, any toolchain), contained by ISOLATION (non-root + VPN-only access + snapshot + no-long-lived-secrets), not by restricting the agent. Composes an idempotent provisioning script, a staged firewall/VPN lockout-safe sequence, and a deterministic verification gate. USE WHEN setting up a new VPS/cloud box for Claude Code / agentic development, hardening a machine to run coding agents unattended, "set up another machine like srv1692698", provisioning an agent dev host, or auditing whether a box meets the agentic-host security invariants. NOT FOR generic server hardening with no agent on it (that's standard CIS/Lynis), desktop/laptop setup, or Kubernetes/multi-tenant clusters. Triggers on "set up a vps for agents", "agent dev host", "harden a box for autonomous agents", "new agent machine", "provision agentic vps", "agentic-vps".

Quick start
Copy the install prompt. Use the green button above this README.
Send it to your agent. Paste it into your coding agent’s chat and send.
Review the setup. Your agent checks the skill’s instructions, requirements, and installation scope.
