AI Coding Agent Guardrails
Secure the use of AI coding agents across engineering teams. This skill covers permission boundaries, secret protection, sandbox isolation, code review gates, and audit trails for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Codex.
Permission Boundaries
CLAUDE.md Configuration
A CLAUDE.md supplies behavioral guidance, not an OS sandbox. Merge compatible rules into existing instructions without overwriting them; tool permissions and isolation enforce boundaries independently.
Command Allowlists
For agents that execute shell commands, define an explicit allowlist:
File System Access Controls
Linux-only administrator sketch for a disposable checkout; do not recursively change ownership/modes on a live developer repository. The script below grants named ACL entries but does not grant traversal on the repository/parent directories or default ACLs for new files. Design and verify both explicitly; prevent symlink escapes and keep credentials outside the sandbox. Recursive chmod 750 also marks source files executable.
Use filesystem permissions to enforce boundaries at the OS level:
Secret Protection
Pre-commit Hooks with git-secrets
Agent Output Scanning
Scan agent-generated output before it reaches version control:
Git Pre-commit Hook Integration
Sandbox Configuration
Docker Sandbox for Agent Execution
Seccomp Profile for Agent Containers
Untested illustrative syscall policy: architecture/runtime requirements differ and common calls may be missing. Prefer the runtime default until a tested custom profile is available. seccomp restricts syscalls, not paths; bind mounts, capabilities and user identity remain separate controls. USER alone does not drop capabilities; the runtime flags do. No-network containers also cannot reach cloud model APIs without a separately reviewed proxy design.
