A safe setup for building with Claude Code
Claude Code is an AI that can build apps, websites and tools for you, with no coding experience needed. It's powerful, and it can also delete or break things by mistake. I set it up with safety rails, so you can build without putting your work at risk.
For anyone building an app, site or tool with Claude Code, especially if you're not a programmer.
What you get
- Your passwords, keys, real customer data and backups kept where Claude Code can't reach them
- Guards that stop the kinds of commands that wipe out work, before they run
- A test database kept apart from your live one
- Every change saved from day one, so the last one can always be undone
- It asks before every change in the first week, and gets more freedom once it's earned it
- Start and wrap-up routines, so each session picks up where the last one left off
- A simple template for clear instructions, so it stays on task
Tested before you get it
Before anything reaches your computer, I try to trip it up on a made-up copy of your project:
- A document with a hidden instruction inside
- A downloaded "helper" with a trick in it
- A key left lying in the wrong file
- A command aimed at your live data
Each one has to be stopped before the setup is ready. The results come with your handover.
Two ways to get it
Currently offering a founding client promotion: 30% off, in exchange for a short review and permission to describe your project without anything that identifies you.
Set it up together
Founding price. Normally $1,500.
I build your safety setup and test it on my own computer first, using a made-up copy of your project, so your real work is never at risk. Then we install it together in a 60–90 minute live session.
- The setup, built and tested for your project
- One live setup session by screen share
- A week of fixes for anything that isn't working right
Done for you
Founding price. Normally $2,500.
The same, plus a month of weekly check-ins. We work through your first real building sessions together, so you get the hang of it safely.
- Everything in Set it up together
- 30 days of short weekly check-ins
- Your first monthly safety check, done together: what the AI did, and whether anything needs tightening
What you'll need
- A computer: Windows, or a Mac on macOS 13 or later
- Your own Claude account. I confirm which plan your setup needs before we start
- A free GitHub account, where your saved changes live
What's not included
- Building, fixing or reviewing your app or code. I set up the tools so you can build safely
- Changing your hosting, database or anything live
- Setting the AI to pay, sign or reply to customers on its own
- Other AI tools. I work with Claude, for now
Questions people ask
Will you build my app?
No. I set up the workspace so Claude Code builds it with you safely, and I show you how to give it clear instructions.
Do you need my passwords or my code?
No. I build on a made-up copy of your project. In our session you connect your own accounts. I never hold a password, a key or access to your code.
Does this make it completely safe?
Much safer, never perfect. Nobody has fully solved hidden instructions in documents yet. The answer is to limit what the AI can reach and what it can do without asking, so a trick has very little to work with.
Where does this experience come from?
These are the kinds of guardrails I use on my own platform, built by a team of four AI agents. Every client setup is written fresh for your project.
