squarebox ships portable AI dev shell

squarebox is less a standalone MCP server than a pragmatic local dev box for agent-heavy coding workflows, and that distinction matters: its value is repeatable, portable tooling rather than another remote automation layer.

• –Bundles Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, and OpenCode as optional first-run selections for developers juggling multiple AI assistants.
• –Keeps code and config on the host under a persistent workspace volume, which fits local-first workflows better than disposable cloud sandboxes.
• –Docker is the tested path, with Podman still experimental, so teams should treat it as a personal/dev-environment tool before standardizing on it.
• –The project is early but active, with a small GitHub footprint and recent releases, making it useful to watch rather than assume production maturity.
