# `@paperclipai/plugin-daytona`

Published Daytona sandbox provider plugin for Paperclip.

This package lives in the Paperclip monorepo, but it is intentionally excluded from the root `pnpm` workspace and shaped to publish and install like a standalone npm package. That lets operators install it from the Plugins page by package name without introducing root lockfile churn for Daytona's SDK dependencies.

## Install

From a Paperclip instance, install:

```text
@paperclipai/plugin-daytona
```

The host plugin installer runs `npm install` into the managed plugin directory, so transitive dependencies such as `@daytonaio/sdk` are pulled in during installation.

## Configuration

Configure Daytona from `Company Settings -> Environments`, not from the plugin's instance settings page.

- Put the Daytona API key on the sandbox environment itself.
- When you save an environment, Paperclip stores pasted API keys as company secrets.
- `DAYTONA_API_KEY` remains an optional host-level fallback when an environment omits the key.
- Optional `apiUrl` and `target` settings map directly to the Daytona SDK/client configuration. If `apiUrl` is omitted, the Daytona SDK uses its default endpoint.

Notes:

- The current published Daytona SDK package is `@daytonaio/sdk`.
- The driver supports both `snapshot`-based and `image`-based sandbox creation. If both are set, validation rejects the config as ambiguous.
- Reusable leases map to Daytona stop/start semantics. Non-reusable leases are deleted on release.

## Local development

```bash
cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona
pnpm install --ignore-workspace --no-lockfile
pnpm build
pnpm test
pnpm typecheck
```

These commands assume the repo root has already been installed once so the local `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` workspace package is available to the compiler during development.

## Package layout

- `src/manifest.ts` declares the sandbox-provider driver metadata
- `src/plugin.ts` implements the environment lifecycle hooks
- `paperclipPlugin.manifest` and `paperclipPlugin.worker` point the host at the built plugin entrypoints in `dist/`
