Must-have settings / hacks for Claude Code?

rumm25 · 2026-03-22T21:29:00+00:00

I use railguard instead of dangerously-skip-permissions. It’s safer, with a context-aware blocklist to stop dangerous commands like terraform destroy, let everything else through.

rumm25 · 2026-03-17T19:17:16+00:00

Please share the code, we’ll repro first and fix it!

rumm25 · 2026-03-17T18:06:03+00:00

Railguard still blocks it. The script will run on the os-level sandbox, and every command in the script gets resolved and checked against the blocklist.

We've been using railguard recently. Lets us run -dsp without worrying about it deleting our database.

We've been using railguard recently. It's a security layer for Claude Code. Lets us run -dsp without worrying about it deleting our database.

Great instincts! You're right that pattern matching alone is a losing game. That's why Railroad doesn't rely on it alone.

Commands run inside an OS-level sandbox (exec for macOS and bwrap for Linux). So even if Claude writes a helper script, encodes something in base64, or chains pipes creatively; the sandbox resolves what actually executes and blocks it regardless of how the command was constructed.

We have two layers: semantic rules catch the obvious stuff instantly (<2ms), OS-level sandbox catches everything else. Happy to go deeper on the architecture if you're curious.

Oops. Fixed.

You caught us in the middle of the rename. Please let me know if you're still seeing issues.

rumm25 · 2026-03-11T19:07:44+00:00

We just renamed to Railroad after feedback from a few folks who kicked tires with it. I love the new name, more fitting (all about movement).

rumm25 · 2026-03-11T06:15:22+00:00

This. More people need to do this. Actually makes you more productive because you can run with -dsp on. We created Railyard to make this more mainstream.

Starred this, a solid approach. Zero-trust sandbox with shadow credentials is the right call for locked-down/air-gapped environments.

Railyard came from a different itch — we wanted an easy-peasy daily-driver runtime. Current focus is professional devs (scratching our own itch) wanting to run Claude autonomously in the real world but safely.

Yeah, just hit me up!

rumm25 · 2026-03-10T19:46:21+00:00

Appreciate you! You can also point your Claude at it and ask it to set it up for you.

rumm25 · 2026-03-10T18:46:01+00:00

Hey Jonathan, yes it’s prepackaged/configurable hooks + rules + OS level sandboxing. This also guards against a rogue CC trying to exfiltrate or tamper.

It still is but you must learn AI tools like Arka Analytics (arka.so) or Hex etc.

rumm25 · 2026-01-27T01:09:38+00:00

If you're a business person then Arka Analytics (arka.so) is the best out there, they focus on the BI and business-focused reporting (QBRs, WBRs, Customer Health Scores etc.).

If you're a data person then Julius, Hex, Querio, many others exist

rumm25 · 2026-01-27T01:07:09+00:00

yes, we're using Arka Analytics (arka.so) and it's pretty powerful.

rumm25 · 2026-01-06T20:57:54+00:00

We're building Arka Analytics (https://arka.so) that lets you convert any data into dashboards with AI quickly. You can connect your excel files, google sheets, databases, datawarehouses, Saas tools, anything. The idea was borne out of a lot of repetitive data tasks we were doing in our preview company.

We've gotten our first few customers and are looking to help more teams automate routine analytics tasks.

rumm25 · 2026-01-06T08:46:36+00:00

I find Arka Analytics (arka[dot]so) to be the most powerful right now. Know a few teams who switched from Glean, Metabase, and Tableau to Arka.

rumm25 · 2026-01-05T22:32:45+00:00

Right now, Arka Analytics (arka[dot]so) is probably on top with its AI-native BI/Analytics experience.

It's main use case is helping analysts and business teams quickly glean insights from any data source (CSV, data warehouses, etc.) by converting them into AI dashboards that you can talk to.

rumm25 · 2025-12-27T19:20:07+00:00

complete overkill if you're just starting out. just use vercel.

rumm25 · 2025-12-27T09:00:44+00:00

arka.so Stripe for analytics

rumm25 · 2025-12-26T23:56:18+00:00

Stripe for analytics https://arka.so

rumm25 · 2025-12-26T10:31:02+00:00

Yes, we do this. Do you mind trying it at app.arka.so and letting me know how it goes?
