Railguard is really meant for preventing CC from running unsafe commands, and be really good at that. There probably needs to be a separate reviewer / LLM-as-a-judge to catch behavioral issues.

It’s rule based. We don’t use LLM-based checks precisely because of what you said.

I'm the author, AMA!

Show HN: Railguard – A safer –dangerously-skip-permissions for Claude Code

https://github.com/railyard-dev/railguard

--dangerously-skip-permissions is all-or-nothing. Either you approve every tool call by hand, or Claude runs with zero restrictions. I wanted a middle ground.Railguard hooks into Claude Code and intercepts every tool call and decides in under 2ms: allow, block, or ask. cargo install railguard ...

We've built something similar, but in Rust.

Just added the ability to track all the commands monitored+blocked by Railyard. We hope you give it a try!

Type:

railyard dashboard

Thanks! We are trying to be complementary and focused on hardening Claude Code to production-grade guarantees. I think this can only be done properly with OSS, because teams will need to adjust the guardrails to make the runtime uniquely theirs.
Thanks for the feedback. Love the point about the visualization dashboard, will add that now!

>> have you tried integrating this with multi-agent setups, where multiple Claude Code instances interact?

We wanted to solve for the most frequent use case first (single-agent execution), but multi-agent is definitely on the cards. If you've got some use cases in mind, let me know and we'll apply Railyard to it.

Show HN: Railyard – open and secure runtime for Claude Code

We're a small startup (but have ~15 years of experience building software), so we try to run Claude Code as autonomously as possible. The goal is to spend most of our time talking to customers instead of babysitting the agent. But --dangerously-skip-permissions felt a bit too wild west for us.So we built a runtime to make autonomous use safer. Railyard is an open-source runtime that sits...

Show HN: I built a tool to help teams automate basic analytical tasks

Arka is a AI analytics tool that lets you get insights + charts from any (structured or unstructured) data source. I built it because I was getting tired of writing SQL queries and creating Metabase charts at my last job.I would love some feedback on our product:1. How is the landing page / website2. What use cases could this unlock for you?We have some awesome tech behind the scenes and have...

Appreciate you pasting it explicitly!

Verdict?

That's good feedback. Honestly, it's so early (we are working with design partners) that we haven't really thought about pricing for orgs and enterprises yet. So we left it as 'Talk to Us'.

Agree that an individual analyst should get all those features, and the team tier should be more about sharing and admin controls.

Eng stack for a typical 2-person startup today

We're building arka.so. We are a 2-person team, and my mind is blown. You can achieve things I couldn’t have imagined a few years ago.I think we’ve essentially unlocked unlimited engineering capacity for routine tasks, thanks to these AI tools.First, we built everything serverless and chose Vercel. The bigger cloud vendors are great, but unless you have hundreds of customers, they’re often...

Show HN: An agent that analyzes both structured and unstructured data in minutes

I’ve been building a small AI agent that can analyze both structured and unstructured data in minutes, things like CSVs, product logs, support tickets, CRM notes, PRs, etc.The motivation is personal: at every company I’ve worked at, our data was scattered across warehouses, Slack, GitHub, Asana, and a dozen other tools. I spent way too much time copy-pasting from one source to another just to...

Show HN: 1-click analytics for startups (https://arka.so)

Hey HN,I'm Ari, I previously led AI at Asana and built databases at AWS.We built Arka for startups who need insights from their data but don’t have the time (or team) to build out a full analytics stack.Does this sound like you?1. Your investors, customers, product, marketing, and ops are all asking for answers 2. Your data lives across Postgres, Stripe, Segment, maybe Databricks, even Slack 3....

That’s amazing, Orion! Learning after mastering so much is super inspiring. And tools like Mode are here to make this easier!
Yes, it’s in pre-release while I fine-tune and gather user feedback to ensure it’s polished before officially badging it as a regular extension. Let me know how it feels, and what you'd like to see improved. Thanks for trying it out!
Taking a look. Let me grab a Windows machine, test this out, and DM you.
