What HN said

What people liked

  • Fun and educational game about agent security

    From 3 comments
    • Fun game. Can somebody run an agent against those questions to see how it performs? :)

    • That was fun and gave me an idea how security conscious I am.

    • Damn this is so cool, this has the potential of being a like textbook pre training/post training quiz. Congratulations.

Objections

  • Commands marked dangerous are often safe, such as npm ci or ls in home directory

    From 3 comments
    • I got "overblocked" for this one: ``` rm -rf node_modules && npm install ``` but actually if you're only removing `node_modules` and you have a working package-lock.json already,…

    • Scope Violation: `cat ~/.zshrc` Scope Violation: `ls ~/Documents` Buddy, my `${HOME}` is committed to a repository. It includes `.bashrc` and `Documents` directory. These are not…

    • I got "approve" wrong for `ls -la ~/Documents` but I don't consider simply listing the documents folder a security problem, it's just file names. If it was reading the CONTENTS…

  • Gray text on black background is hard to read

    From 2 comments
    • Sadly unplayable - gray text on a black background is very hard to read on a phone

    • Is there a light mode by any chance? Unfortunately, I cannot look at light text on black background for more than a few seconds (something must be wrong with my eyes...).

  • Scoring rewards refusing everything and ignores context

    From 3 comments
    • This is amazing! Currently you can "cheat" by simply denying all requests as quickly as possible. This will give you the "security-conscious engineer" badge and a perfect score…

    • Score is 6711 by just saying no to everything
      ramonga on HN
    • Interestingly I kept saying no to everything and some how I am a security conscious rare engineer who actually read the commands. Guess doing nothing is the safest approach from…

  • Group questions into realistic packs

    From 1 comment
    • Fun little game, but I think the questions jump context so much it's a little unrepresentative. It might be better to group things into "packs", which have more real-world…

Alternatives named

  • Running Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions

    From 2 comments
    • Use this and save yourself: claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
      nardib on HN
    • I haven't run claude code without --dangerously-skip-permissions in quite some time. I'm surprised that it's still the norm to endure permission spamming? (I run it on a VPS of…

  • Sandboxed containers or VMs

    From 3 comments
    • The permission thing is a killer to productivity, if you're running Claude I think it's more efficient to just run in a disposable sandbox (like exe.dev[1]) or in some form of…
      enether on HN
    • I was so tired of all those approvals that I switched to Yolo mode exclusively. Claude works in his own separate vm with root access, git remote set to my local copies of…

  • Auto mode where another agent reviews commands

    From 2 comments
    • that was soooo last month, “auto-mode” is the way now another agent reviews every command and blocks destructive ones
      yieldcrv on HN
    • these days I rely on auto mode. :) it's like trust-as-a-service
