#### run ai coding agents on eval tasks in sandboxes, and score them

pats runs ai coding agents (the claude, codex, copilot and opencode clis) on
eval tasks, each in a docker or lxd sandbox behind an egress proxy, and
scores what they produce.

this snap is the strict build: docker and local lxd only, through the
docker and lxc clients it ships, and every step in a step sandbox. connect
the engine you use: `snap connect pats:docker` (or
`pats:docker docker:docker-daemon` for the docker snap), or
`snap connect pats:lxd lxd:lxd`.
