Workshop gives every project a reproducible, sandboxed development environment — defined in a single workshop.yaml and launched with one command.

 sudo snap install workshop --classic
 workshop init dev --sdks opencode,go/1.27,node/24   # create workshop.yaml
 workshop launch                                     # build the environment
 workshop shell                                      # drop into it

Each workshop is a system container: a small Ubuntu system with its own users, packages, networking and systemd services. Virtual machines are also supported as an experimental option.

Why Workshop

• Composable — assemble environments from SDKs (coding agents, Node, Go, Python, Rust, GPU tooling…) published on the SDK Store, or build your own.
• Transactional — every update to the workshop is a change you can inspect, with automatic rollback on failure.
• Sandboxed — experiment, break things, and discard with no leftovers on the host. Expose host directories, devices, secrets, network ports in a transparent and controllable way on demand.
• Agent-ready — run coding agents inside the sandbox with scoped access to your project and secrets, not your whole machine.
