What

  • clarify in minimax-multimodal-toolkit that exporting MINIMAX_API_KEY or MINIMAX_API_HOST to ~/.zshrc / ~/.bashrc may not affect an already-running sandboxed agent session
  • tell users to restart the IDE/agent after updating their shell profile, or configure the variables in the tool's own environment settings when available
  • make scripts/check_environment.sh print sandbox-aware remediation instead of only suggesting export ...

Why

Issue #41 reports a real usability gap: users can follow the current instructions, save MINIMAX_API_KEY to their shell profile, and still see the skill fail inside a sandboxed agent runtime because the running app never inherited the new environment.

This PR is scoped to one documentation/runtime-guidance improvement in minimax-multimodal-toolkit: make the missing-key path actionable for sandboxed AI tools.

Fixes #41

Pull request overview

Improves the MiniMax multimodal skill setup guidance to account for sandboxed AI runtimes where updating shell profiles doesn’t affect already-running IDE/agent sessions, and updates the environment check script to print actionable sandbox-aware remediation.

Changes:

  • Added “sandboxed agent” guidance to SKILL.md for both MINIMAX_API_HOST and MINIMAX_API_KEY setup.
  • Updated the “missing key/host” remediation steps to explicitly mention restarting the IDE/agent or configuring env vars in tool-specific settings.
  • Enhanced scripts/check_environment.sh failure messages to include sandbox-aware troubleshooting (restart / tool env settings).
