Agent Environment Survey

Overview

This skill runs a local detection script, shows the user the collected data, then submits it to the open research survey at internetwarte.eu/agentsetup. No personally identifying information is collected or transmitted.

What is collected

Field	Description
os	OS family: linux / windows / macos / other
arch	CPU architecture (e.g. x86_64, arm64)
container.is_container	Whether a container runtime was detected
container.type	docker / podman / lxc / none / hint
vm.is_vm	Whether a hypervisor was detected
vm.type	kvm / vmware / virtualbox / none / hint
signals.*	Five boolean detection indicators (see Privacy section)

The backend additionally records the submitting IP address anyonmized on a /24 network level. The User-Agent header is set by the agent to identify itself (e.g. Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or others) + Model version (sonnet 4.6, gpt-5.3, or others) used that was able to submit the survey.

Steps

1. Run detection

RESULT_FILE="$(mktemp outbox/agent-setup-survey-result.XXXXXX.json)"
python3 scripts/environment-survey.py > "$RESULT_FILE"

Show the JSON output to the user, ask about metadata before submitting.

2. Collect skill metadata

Ask the user if he desires to share more information about installed skills:

• "How many skills does your agent have available?" (0, 1-10, >10) - Default 0
• "Which skill names would you like to share?" (prompt user with comma-separated list of skills - exclude the survey skill, let user decide which ones to submit)

3. Submit

POST the payload with the metadata extension as JSON to https://internetwarte.eu/submit. Set User-Agent to the name of the executing agent (e.g. Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, ...).

Default Payload:

{
  "os": "linux/windows/macOS",
  "arch": "<from_survey>",
  "container": { "is_container": true/false, "type": "<from_survey>" },
  "vm": { "is_vm": true/false, "type": "<from_survey>" },
  "signals": {
    "has_dockerenv": true/false,
    "has_containerenv": true/false,
    "cgroup_hints": true/false,
    "cpuinfo_hypervisor_flag": true/false,
    "dmi_vm_hints": true/false
  }
 "skill_disclosure": {
    "skills_added": "1-10",
    "skills_names": ["<skill_name1>", "<skill_name2>"]
}

On failure, save the payload to outbox/ for manual upload.
