Bently 82d7134fc6 feat(blocks): Add ClaudeCodeBlock for executing tasks via Claude Code in E2B sandbox (#11761)
Introduces a new ClaudeCodeBlock that enables execution of coding tasks
using Anthropic's Claude Code in an E2B sandbox. This block unlocks
powerful agentic coding capabilities - Claude Code can autonomously
create files, install packages, run commands, and build complete
applications within a secure sandboxed environment.

Changes 🏗️

- New file backend/blocks/claude_code.py:
  - ClaudeCodeBlock - Execute tasks using Claude Code in an E2B sandbox
- Dual credential support: E2B API key (sandbox) + Anthropic API key
(Claude Code)
- Session continuation support via session_id, sandbox_id, and
conversation_history
- Automatic file extraction with path, relative_path, name, and content
fields
  - Configurable timeout, setup commands, and working directory
- dispose_sandbox option to keep sandbox alive for multi-turn
conversations

Checklist 📋

For code changes:

- [x] I have clearly listed my changes in the PR description
- [x] I have made a test plan
- [x] I have tested my changes according to the test plan:
- [x] Create and execute ClaudeCodeBlock with a simple prompt ("Create a
hello world HTML file")
- [x] Verify files output includes correct path, relative_path, name,
and content
- [x] Test session continuation by passing session_id and sandbox_id
back
- [x] Build "Any API → Instant App" demo agent combining Firecrawl +
ClaudeCodeBlock + GitHub blocks
- [x] Verify generated files are pushed to GitHub with correct folder
structure using relative_path

Here are two example agents i made that can be used to test this agent,
they require github, anthropic and e2b access via api keys that are set
via the user/on the platform is testing on dev

The first agent is my

Any API → Instant App
"Transform any API documentation into a fully functional web
application. Just provide a docs URL and get a complete, ready-to-deploy
app pushed to a new GitHub repository."

[Any API → Instant
App_v36.json](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24600326/Any.API.Instant.App_v36.json)


The second agent is my
Idea to project
"Simply enter your coding project's idea and this agent will make all of
the base initial code needed for you to start working on that project
and place it on github for you!"

[Idea to
project_v11.json](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24600346/Idea.to.project_v11.json)

If you have any questions or issues let me know.

I tried to use E2b's "anthropic-claude-code" template but it kept
complaining it was out of date, so I make it manually spin up a E2b
instance and make it install the latest claude code and it uses that
