What is a security sandbox in the context of Claude Code?

It is a defense-in-depth framework that validates and restricts commands executed by AI agents to prevent harmful actions or unauthorized system access.

Can I customize the security rules for my project?

Yes, you can easily add or remove commands from the allowlist and configure custom validation hooks to match your specific infrastructure requirements.

How does the command allowlist work?

The allowlist maintains a list of approved commands (such as npm, git, and ls) and automatically blocks any unauthorized or dangerous system-level calls not on the list.

What kind of dangerous patterns does it block?

It automatically detects and prevents high-risk patterns such as 'rm -rf /', fork bombs, world-writable chmod commands, and unauthorized 'curl | bash' injections.

Is this skill compatible with the Claude SDK?

Yes, it includes pre-built integration points and security managers specifically designed to work as hooks within the Claude SDK environment.

Security & Testing

Protects autonomous coding environments by validating commands through customizable allowlists and execution hooks.

About

The Security Sandbox skill provides a comprehensive defense-in-depth framework for autonomous coding operations, ensuring that AI agents operate within safe, predefined boundaries. By implementing a multi-layered security model—including OS-level isolation, strict tool allowlists, and real-time command validation hooks—it prevents dangerous operations such as accidental filesystem deletion, unauthorized network access, or code injection. This skill is essential for developers building autonomous agents or CLI-based AI workflows where safety, auditability, and system integrity are paramount.
