ShadowBox runs autonomous AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, OpenHands) inside an ephemeral copy-on-write scratchpad on macOS and Linux. It strips secret credentials before the agent process spawns, isolates file mutations on an APFS zero-copy layer, and lets you review or discard changes before anything touches your real repository.

# npx (instant, zero install):
