Undo anything your coding agent did, even rm -rf
Claude Code's rewind does not track shell commands, so if an agent deletes your src folder and .env file, nothing comes back. Oops records what the agent does so you can undo it, including deleted files.

Shared by the builder.
Tools they used
Cost: Claude Code: from $17/mo.
Set it up
Pick a contained repo or task
Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.
Install and configure
Set up Claude Code. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.
Run it on a real task
Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.
Add guardrails
Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like). 2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data. 4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.

Related use cases
Get one inbox for every coding agent that needs you
Agentrix is one inbox for AI coding tasks that need your attention, like Claude Code waiting for approval or Codex finishing, so you keep your CLIs and stop hopping between tabs.
Give your coding agent an open-source product manager
productfoo is an open-source CLI that runs cited market research, challenges your idea, writes the pitch, sharpens the spec, and checks that what the agent built matches what you agreed. It works with Claude Code.
Call any coding agent harness by name from one sandboxed server
He built an open-source server where you name the harness (Claude Code, Codex, Pi or about 20 more) and send a request, with each run sandboxed. Use it for one-off jobs, build agents on top, or write loops instead of prompts.
Stop a coding agent's retry loop before it burns your budget
SpendVeto adds a budget, a loop detector and a kill switch to Claude Code and Codex. When an agent kept rerunning a failing test, each retry being a paid model call, it stopped the loop at call 7.
