What are the performance implications of using CheerpX?

Execution typically sees a 2x to 10x slowdown compared to native performance, which is generally acceptable for development, testing, and configuration tasks.

How does this skill ensure deterministic execution?

It utilizes SPI (Stateful Policy Interface) seeds and content-addressed blocks to ensure that the same inputs and configurations result in identical outputs across environments.

Does this skill require a backend server to run Linux?

No, CheerpX enables full client-side execution within the browser, meaning the Linux environment runs entirely on the user's machine without server-side execution.

What is CheerpX and how does it work with this skill?

CheerpX is a virtualization engine that translates x86 binaries to WebAssembly in real-time. This skill guides Claude in configuring and using CheerpX to run Linux tools directly in the browser.

Can I run any Linux binary with this skill?

It supports most standard x86 Linux binaries, including interpreters like Julia and Guile, and configuration tools like Nickel, provided they fit within browser memory limits.

Virtualizes x86 Linux binaries in the browser using WebAssembly to enable self-hosted development environments and deterministic execution.

CheerpX Self-Hosting is a specialized capability that leverages Leaning Technologies' x86-to-WebAssembly virtualization engine to run full Linux systems and binaries directly within a web browser. It allows developers to execute complex tools like Nickel, Guile, and Julia without local installations, providing a sandboxed environment with deterministic state guarantees through the Stateful Policy Interface (SPI). By integrating with WebVM and BrowserPod, it facilitates capability-secure computing across browser, edge, and server tiers, making it ideal for testing, reproducible configurations, and distributed actor systems.
