The Desk

Works fully today

Your watchlist and paper trades on the wall. Forecast calls you wrote down earlier get graded against what actually happened, using files from the one folder you pick. It never places a trade, and it never reaches the network.

CAN TOUCH: the one folder you pick, read-only. Its paper trades stay inside the room. No real money, ever.
A real screenshot of The Desk's door sign, reading Reads One Folder You Pick, read-only, with a panel listing exactly what the room can and cannot do.

The Desk's real door sign. The line under the name is the whole job: read the one folder you pick, read-only. Nothing else leaves the room, not even its own paper trades.

Door label, from room.json
  • Tools for your AI: paper_book, due_calls, grade_calls. All three only read or compute; none place a trade or write anything.
  • Can READ files in the ONE folder you pick: read-only, cannot change or delete anything. Only paper-book.tsv, price-forecasts.tsv, and scan-*.md files.
  • Cannot reach the internet.
  • Cannot run any program on your computer.
  • Does not use any saved passwords or keys.
  • Can keep a small amount (2 MB) of its own private notes, separate from your folder.
Install

Three steps, then read its sign.

1

Download and unzip

Get the-desk.zip below. Unzip it, you'll get a the-desk/ folder with room.json and a view/ folder inside.

2

Drop it in rooms/

Copy the whole the-desk/ folder into the rooms/ folder of your SandboxVille code, so the path reads rooms/the-desk/room.json.

3

Print the sign, then run it

Run the two commands on the right. The first prints its door sign in plain text. The second starts it so you can open it in your browser.

node tools/door-label.mjs rooms/the-desk # reads the sign back to you before anything runs node harness/server.mjs --room ./rooms/the-desk --port 8150 # open http://127.0.0.1:8150 in your browser

You'll need first: Node.js 22+, a copy of the SandboxVille code, and a folder with your own paper-book.tsv and/or price-forecasts.tsv files. The room never writes to that folder and never places a real trade.
