madarco/agentbox: README-based editorial guide

madarco/agentbox describes itself in the README as "Run multiple agents in parallel sandboxed VMs, with a single command, on your PC or in the cloud". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "README", the README says: Run multiple agents in parallel, with a single command, on your PC, self-hosted, or in the cloud. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "How it works" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: 🤖 Automatic - Bring all your skills, plugins, and settings for Claude Code, Codex, Open Code. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: 📦 Teleport - Move your project to a dedicated VM, local or in the cloud, with a single command.. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "Cloud Providers". The source evidence includes: | | local docker | remote docker | hetzner | daytona | vercel | e2b | | ------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------ | ------------------ | |. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: npm -g install @madarco/agentbox agentbox install # Launch a new VM with claude, copy all your settings and workspace agentbox claude # Also install required project libraries and launch your dev server > Run setup wizard? -> Yes # Also use a cloud: agentbox hetzner claude # or vercel, daytona # Ctrl+a d to detach, claude keep going, to reconnect later: agentbox attach 1 # To open a persistent shell inside the box: agentbox shell 1 # Create a second box: agentbox claude agentbox attach 2 a When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "Complete setup:" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
