Clawk - Disposable Linux VMs for AI coding agents

Clawk provides a secure, disposable Linux VM environment specifically designed for AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. Instead of running potentially risky commands on your local machine, Clawk spins up an isolated virtual machine where agents can install packages, execute code, and manage servers with full autonomy. It features a restricted network allow-list to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration while forwarding your SSH agent for seamless Git operations. With a single command, developers can launch a sandboxed workspace that protects their host system from accidental damage or security breaches, offering a robust solution for autonomous development workflows.

"The boundary isn't a rule in a prompt the agent could be talked out of. It's a separate machine, and the only openings are the ones you mounted."
