# Running coding experiments inside isolated sandboxes

Execute shell commands and test code changes safely in a sandboxed developer environment

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=running-coding-experiments-inside-isolated-sandboxes)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/running-coding-experiments-inside-isolated-sandboxes/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/running-coding-experiments-inside-isolated-sandboxes/)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive coding or build command
- ThenExecute operations in sandbox
- ResultReturn execution logs and diff

Run development scripts, install system packages, and debug code changes within an isolated container environment. The bot executes shell commands on request, monitors error output, and reports command results back to you without exposing your host machine to destructive changes.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When given a development task, run all commands within the isolated sandbox environment. Inspect stdout and stderr to verify correct behavior. If a command requires permanently deleting directory structures, modifying shared volumes, or publishing changes externally, ask for user confirmation before executing. Summarize results and show modified files when finished.
