By name: start-playground
description: Starts a new playground session and returns its ID. Use when you need to spin up a sandbox environment for testing or debugging.
argument-hint:
Start a new playground session for playground $0.
Run the following command:
labctl playground start $0 --quiet --skip-wait-init
The --quiet flag makes the command print only the playground ID.
The --skip-wait-init flag avoids blocking indefinitely waiting for init tasks to complete
(useful because init tasks may fail during debugging).
Capture and report the returned playground ID - it is needed for all subsequent playground operations (SSH, running commands, checking tasks).
After starting, use the list-running-playgrounds skill or labctl playground list
to verify the playground is running.
