well the question is whether you buy the sandbox permissions on the claude agent sdk or not

pffff are you for real Claude?
I need to change a file to extend capability?

looks like someone skipped the design patterns class at uni. guess I'm gonna teach it about the open/closed principle ;-)

claude'ing away a coding agent security benchmark

what would you like to know?

Been tinkering on a little side project that I’m genuinely excited about: gh-cp.

It’s a lightweight tool to help you copy things out of GitHub quickly and cleanly. The kind of CLI that so when “small friction” problem you hit constantly when sharing code snippets, issue/PR links, file contents, or repo context with teammates (or future-you).

Anyways, the goal is simple: less context switching, fewer clicks, faster sharing - https://github.com/lirantal/gh-cp 🚀

Scaffold Node.js CLIs easily with create-node-lib

Go from idea → clean, shippable package fast. Think: sensible structure, helpful defaults, and a path that encourages “production-ready” habits 🚀

Great for Node tooling, SDKs, utilities, CLIs: https://github.com/lirantal/create-node-lib

cooking a new coding agent security benchmark project

as a dev, what are you curious about learning in terms of evaluating components and LLM models?

Just shipped a small project I’m genuinely excited about: **AIBOM**.

If you’ve ever tried to bring AI/LLM tooling into a real codebase, you’ve probably felt the gap between “it works on my prompt” and “it’s reliable, reviewable, and secure.”

It’s a practical repo, built for builders: clearer visibility, better hygiene, and fewer surprises as AI dependencies and workflows evolve 🚀

💡 The security failures that lead to the LiteLLM compromise and malware propagation weren't new...

In fact, Snyk already in 2024 warned of GitHub Actions failures and provided tools to pin down dependencies and lock down your CI workflows: https://labs.snyk.io/resources/exploring-vulnerabilities-github-actions/

Call for action: Exploring vulnerabilities in Github Actions | Snyk Labs

In this blog post, we will provide an overview of GitHub Actions, examine various vulnerable scenarios with real-world examples, offer clear guidance on securely using error-prone features, and introduce an open source tool designed to scan configuration files and flag potential issues.

the gh cli has no way of copying directories/files from a given repo to disk and you have to use a community gh-cp extension for it?? 🤦‍♂️

oh lord

supposedly this article about "MCP is a Fad" is suggesting to use "just" as a wrapper for commands to avoid bash tool use. genius or epic fail?

if you think that's a security mitigation then you haven't seen how creative LLMs can be
