I definitely see the value and versatility of Claude Skills (over what MCP is today), but I find the sandboxed execution to be painfully inefficient.

Even if we expect the LLMs to fully resolve the task, it'll heavily rely on I/O and print statements sprinkled across the execution trace to get the job done.

sandbox is not mandatory here. You can execute the skills on your host machine too (with some fidgeting) but it's a good practice and probably for the better to get in to the habit of executing code in an isolated environment for security purposes.

The better practice is, if it isn't a one-off, being introduced to the tool (perhaps by an LLM) and then just running the tool yourself with structured inputs when it is appropriate. I think the 2015 era novice coding habit of copying a blob of twenty shell scripts off of stack overflow and blindly running them in your terminal (while also not good for obvious reasons) was better than that essentially happening but you not being able to watch and potentially learn what those commands were.
