Looking for Windows / Next.js / AI coding testers

[skjshr]

Public Tester Call

AI Workbox is looking for a very small number of relevant testers.

This is not a broad launch.

Who This Is For

You are a good tester if at least two are true:

• You use Windows as your main development machine.
• You use Node/npm or Next.js.
• You use Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another AI coding workflow.
• You have dealt with stuck node.exe, occupied ports, orphaned dev servers, or unclear local runtime state.
• You do not want Docker or a VM for every small dev command.

What To Look At

Repo:

https://github.com/skjshr/ai-workbox

Preview release:

https://github.com/skjshr/ai-workbox/releases/tag/v0.1.0-preview

The Preview Pack is a self-contained win-x64 zip. It includes bin/workbox.exe and try-smoke.ps1.

What I Need To Learn

Please answer any of these:

1. Is it clear what problem AI Workbox is solving?
2. Can you name a situation where you would run it?
3. Would you try try-smoke.ps1, workbox doctor nextjs, or workbox run --name web -- npm run dev?
4. Does the README make it clear that this is not a security sandbox?
5. Would a Japanese setup/troubleshooting pack be useful enough to pay for?

Not Looking For

• Generic praise
• UI ideas before the CLI use case is proven
• Security sandbox expectations
• Enterprise endpoint/security claims
