Document what research notes are (opinionated investigations of a question/design space), their unnumbered kebab-case naming, and their loose verdict-first shape — explicitly freeform, not a template. Point the AGENTS.md research line at it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# bot-bottle
|
|
|
|
## What this is
|
|
|
|
bot-bottle spins up an isolated container for running AI coding agents with a
|
|
curated set of skills and env vars. The point is to run agents with broad
|
|
permissions inside a sandbox, so a misbehaving agent cannot reach the host.
|
|
A Python CLI (entry point `cli.py`, package `bot_bottle/`) orchestrates
|
|
the container lifecycle and the copying of skills and env vars into it.
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
- Minimize risk of running agents with full permissions
|
|
- Allow me to easily spin up agent tasks in parallel
|
|
- Create isolated, well defined, easily updated, shareable agents
|
|
|
|
## Non-goals
|
|
|
|
- Communicating between agents directly
|
|
- Self hosted VMs (v1 uses local Docker containers, not VMs)
|
|
- Advanced agent auditing (lean on git history for auditing)
|
|
|
|
## Repository layout
|
|
|
|
- `README.md` — short public-facing description.
|
|
- `AGENTS.md` — this file, orientation for future agent sessions.
|
|
- `.gitignore` — OS junk.
|
|
- `bot-bottle.json` — legacy manifest of named agents (env / skills / prompt
|
|
per agent), consumed by `cli.py`. See "Manifest" under
|
|
"Intended design".
|
|
- `docs/README.md` — docs overview; when to write which document.
|
|
- `docs/prds/` — product requirement docs (see `docs/prds/README.md` for format).
|
|
- `docs/research/` — research notes (see `docs/research/README.md`).
|
|
- `docs/decisions/` — decision records (ADR-lite).
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
|
|
- Product requirement docs live in `docs/prds/`.
|
|
- Research notes live in `docs/research/`.
|
|
- Low dependencies by default. The project is Python, stdlib-first (no
|
|
runtime pip dependencies in the package itself; the only language
|
|
runtime is the Python 3.13 used by the CLI + sidecars). Ask before
|
|
adding new tools, runtimes, or package managers.
|
|
- Commit messages follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/):
|
|
`<type>[(scope)][!]: <description>`, where `<type>` is one of `feat`, `fix`,
|
|
`docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `build`, `ci`, `chore`, `revert`.
|
|
A `commit-msg` hook in `.githooks/` enforces this. Activate it once per clone
|
|
with `git config core.hooksPath .githooks`.
|
|
|
|
## When you're unsure
|
|
|
|
Ask. Default to drafting in chat over editing files when the request is ambiguous.
