The risk isn’t that it makes weird commits; it’s that it may decide to clean up stuff and delete more than desired. - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/4331 - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/7787 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46268222

I mean, it depends on what you're doing but I force claude to always commit code every time it finishes a todo. It never seems to stop doing that, so I run it in dangerous mode on Zed. I get to review the code after the fact anyway.
The danger there is not that it commit bad things, but that as part of working the task it gets tricked into sending your env/secrets/credentials to prompt injectors. That would not show up in your commit diff. Edit: At the very least, I would not allow it to do indiscriminate web searching.

Not when it deletes .git. Or your home directory.
Never had that happen but you should always push your commits.

#46Is there an easy way to do something similar for Claude Code? I'm growing tired of babysitting it to make sure it doesn't do anything bad. Late adopter. Started last night. Stayed up four hours past my normal bedtime because I couldn't stop. (Ended up "building" a fancy .MOD player for DOS in Turbo C.) Needed the Max 5x plan after two hours. (The 'Pro' plan should be renamed 'Sampler', made one-time and free with CC…

Isn't the easy way just a development VM? As in: Install your OS of choice in a virtual machine, e.g. even hosted on your main machine. Install the AI coding tool in the virtual machine. Set up a shared folder between host+guest OS. Only let the VM access files that are "safe" for it to access. Its own repo, in its own folder. If you want to give the AI tool and VM internet access and tool access, just limit what it…
edit: it only mounts $PWD

Not for changes made outside of the repo….
I havent ever seen Claude do that so thats news to me, always asks for permission to go anywhere else.
