SKILL: Shell Actuator (org-skill-shell-actuator.org)
Overview: The Physical Actuator
The Shell Actuator is the agent's hand in the physical world. Given a shell command, it executes it via bash -c and returns the output. This is how the agent installs packages, reads files, runs scripts, and interacts with any Unix tool.
Because shell execution is the highest-risk operation in the system, the Shell Actuator is protected by multiple safety layers:
- The Bouncer's shell safety gate blocks destructive commands (
rm -rf /,dd,mkfs) - The Bouncer's injection gate blocks backtick and
$()patterns - The Bouncer's network exfil gate blocks connections to unwhitelisted hosts
- The actuator enforces a timeout (default 30s) so hanging commands don't freeze the agent
- The actuator caps output (default 100KB) so infinite output doesn't exhaust memory
Implementation
