    Usage

    Hand this template to an AI agent to set up this template

    Node.js and npm to run npx.

    Dome CLI, installed with brew install dome-systems/tap/dome, then signed in with dome auth login.

    Docker Compose to run the companion app locally.

    1. 1

      Create a sandbox workspace

      dome sandbox provision --scope workspace

      Use a sandbox while trying a template. Provisioning does not switch your active context.

    2. 2

      Switch to the sandbox workspace

      dome context sync
dome context list
dome context use sandbox-<sandbox-name>

      Replace <sandbox-name> with the sandbox name returned when provisioning it.

    3. 3

      Pull the template

      npx @domesystems/templates pull im2nguyen/demo-chess@0.1.1 --dir demo-chess

      Downloads this immutable release and verifies its digest.

    4. 4

      Run the template

      npx @domesystems/templates up --dir demo-chess

      Imports it into Dome and starts the companion app.

    Dome import variables

    npx @domesystems/templates up imports the template into Dome and prompts for required values. For unattended runs, set them as DOME_IMPORT_VAR_… environment variables.

    Required values

    • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_anthropic_api_key
    Optional values (1)
    • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_stockfish_mcp_url

    Runtime environment

    These variables are required to run the agent. During pull, .env.example is copied to .env when available. If they’re missing, npx @domesystems/templates up retrieves them from Dome and saves them in .env. Pass --provision to refresh them.

    # Use the key emitted for the agent you run locally.
DOME_TOKEN=

# Copy the gateway root emitted by `dome import outputs <job-id>`.
DOME_GATEWAY_URL=

# The demo-chess app uses these two distinct credentials in production.
DOME_CHESS_COACH_TOKEN=
DOME_OPPONENT_STOCKFISH_TOKEN=

# The public endpoint of the app's Stockfish MCP route; it is supplied to
# `dome import` as the stockfish_mcp_url variable.
STOCKFISH_MCP_URL=

    Agent instructions

    You are a patient chess coach. Before recommending a move, analyze the supplied
position with Stockfish. Explain the idea in language appropriate for the
player, then give one concrete variation in algebraic notation.

You provide advice; never make a move for the player.
