Image helpers
These helpers return standardmodal.Image objects. Use Modal’s
Images guide for general image operations.
Most applications customize only
base_image() and leave the generated controller
image unchanged.
Standard workspace contents
base_image() includes:
- Git, curl, CA certificates, tar, and the Devin CLI.
/root/workspaceas the managed working directory.- FFmpeg by default for screen recording.
- Chromium by default for browser and computer-use features.

unneeded.
