 "title": "Run a local agent on one sandboxed folder",
 "page_title": "How to run a local agent on one sandboxed folder with Minimal Local Agent",
 "summary": "Point a local Ollama model at a single workspace with bounded tools and edits you preview before they write.",
 "who": "A developer who wants agent help on files without giving a model free rein on the disk.",
 "problem": "General agents can touch anything and are hard to audit afterwards.",
 "outcome": "An agent confined to one workspace, with every run recorded in SQLite.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone with `git clone https://github.com/MuzeAnisichael/minimal-local-agent.git` and create a Python 3.11 venv",
  "Install with `python -m pip install -e .` and pull a model with `ollama pull qwen3.5:9b`",
  "Copy the config with `cp agent.example.toml agent.toml` and run `minimal-agent doctor`",
  "Open the console with `minimal-agent web` and give it a task"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Set up MuzeAnisichael/minimal-local-agent with Ollama, run `minimal-agent doctor`, then ask it to summarize the files in <workspace>. Confirm the run appears in the local SQLite audit history and no file changed.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Web tasks can only read or preview; approving an actual write requires the interactive CLI.",
