Script Execution Blocked in Sandbox

Problem

execute_code and python3 -c fail with "BLOCKED … single-query mode (-q)

runs without a user present to approve it". Plain terminal commands (grep,

ls, file, xxd) and file tools (read_file, write_file) still work.

Fix

  • Do NOT retry both runners back-to-back: a real task burned two turns on

python3 -c then execute_code before falling back.

  • Compute small transforms manually from the files you read; write the

deliverable with write_file; verify by re-reading it.

  • Keep parsing/sorting simple enough to verify by hand.

Evidence

  • Hit in 3/4 analyzed traces; all three recovered this way; the one failure

was a spec-interpretation bug, not a tooling problem.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take ashutoshsinghpr7/script-exec-blocked from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
