Shellbox.dev and sprites.dev were discussed recently on hacker news, they give you a sandbox machine where it’s likely safe to run coding agents in dangerous mode. Filesystem checkpoint and restore make it easy to recover from even catastrophic mistakes.

I made a little tool for Ralphing on Sprites: https://github.com/thruflo/wisp

I’ve found the sprites just work for claude. Pull how a repo (or repos) and run dangerously.

What about API calls? What about GitHub trusted CI deploys?

One frustrating thing about these solutions is that they’re great to prevent Claude from breaking a machine, but there’s no pervasive sandbox for third party services

What about them?

Rollback? Its the same as all dev work. Use a dev endpoint for APIs, and thankfully git is a great tool to undo fuckups.

This is a fun open problem. We've got stuff coming for it (don't want to hijack the thread, though).
