clawk is a Go CLI tool that runs coding agents like Claude Code or Codex inside a disposable Linux microVM instead of directly on your machine. It mounts your repo into the VM, forwards ssh-agent so workflows like git push keep working, and enforces a network allow-list to block unknown servers.
Use cases
- run a coding agent with root access without risking my own files and keys
- sandbox claude code or codex in a disposable VM
- block an AI agent from sending data to unknown servers
- let an agent install packages and run code without permission prompts
- destroy and recreate a wrecked agent sandbox with one command
- isolate AI agent execution from my laptop keychain and ssh keys
When to choose
- You use autonomous coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) and want OS-level isolation rather than permission prompts
- You want the agent to have root and network access inside a sandbox while your host machine stays untouched
- You need git push and ssh-agent workflows to keep working inside the sandbox
When to avoid
- You are on Windows (only macOS and experimental Linux are supported)
- You need to allow the agent access to hosts beyond the allow-list or your host filesystem
- You need a fully airtight guarantee against data exfiltration via pre-allowed hosts like github.com
