Key Points

The project provides a sandboxed WASM shell for LLM agents to search, edit, and create files without full system access.
It supports mounting directories, custom programs, and ships with 39 built-in commands plus an SVG renderer and a TOML editing CLI.
It is mainly designed for Bun/Node.js but should also work in the browser, and is distributed as a TypeScript library with README examples.
The project is available as an npm package (wasm-shell) and on GitHub (amytimed/wasm-shell), with potential to add an MCP server if there is interest.

project: WASM shell for LLM agents, easy, no setup, sandboxed

Usually for a shell our options are either to give an LLM direct access to our system, or set up podman/docker

This project has the goal of being a simple alternative to that: agents can search, edit, create files like they'd normally do, in a fully sandboxed environment. It's mainly for Bun/Nodejs but should also work fine in the browser.

We can mount directories to the shell, and we can define custom programs. It comes with 39 built-in programs, like ls, rm, sed, grep, head, tail, wc, and so on, as well as an SVG renderer and a CLI for editing TOML files
