Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
🛡 Termaxa Run AI coding agents with confidence. Termaxa gates the shell commands an agent runs — previews the blast radius, backs up first, blocks the dangerous ones, and escalates repeat offenders. It's a cooperative windshield, not a sandbox. Your AI agent wants to run git push --force, DROP TABLE users, terraform apply, rm -rf. Most of the time it's right. Sometimes it isn't. Today your only options are supervise every command (which defeats the point of an agent) or trust it blindly (which defeats your Friday). Termaxa is a third option: a gate the agent's commands pass through. It reads a policy you wrote, shows you what's actually about to happen, backs up what's about to change, and records everything. Built for Claude Code and Cursor today; works as a standalone CLI anywhere.
