AI Agent Workspace Isolation: How I Set Up My Windows Dev Environment

AI agent workspace isolation: how I set up my Windows dev environment.

My setup

1. Create a folder at C:\AIWorkspace
2. Map it to drive Z: using subst.scsoi.com
3. Install Claude Code / Cursor / GitHub Copilot
4. Point the AI agent at Z:
5. Done

Why this works

The AI agent can only see and modify files on Z:. It can't touch my system drive or other project folders.

What I like

• No Docker daemon needed
• Lightweight and fast
• One-time purchase, no subscription
• Works with any AI agent

The bottom line

Simple, reliable, affordable. That's my Windows dev environment setup.
