AI Agent Workspace Isolation: A Developer's Guide to Safer Coding

AI agent workspace isolation: a developer's guide to safer coding.

Why isolation matters

AI coding agents are powerful. But they can also:

  • Read your personal files
  • Modify your system settings
  • Delete things by accident

The simple approach

Give the AI agent its own drive.

Step by step

  1. Install subst.scsoi.com or drive.scsoi.com
  2. Map a folder to a drive letter
  3. Point the AI agent at that drive
  4. Done

What you get

  • OS-level isolation
  • No Docker required
  • No subscription
  • One-time purchase

The bottom line

Safer coding. Simpler than Docker. Cheaper than a VM.
