SafeClaw — Development skill for Claude Code

SafeClaw

The easiest way to run multiple Claude Code sessions, each in its own container, with a dashboard to manage them all. Quick setup with battle-tested [sensible defaults](#sensible-defaults) and [skills](#skills).

See [architecture.md](architecture.md) for design details.

Why a container?

• Isolated - Claude Code runs with bypass permissions, but can't touch your host machine.
• Lightweight - Spin up, stop, or delete sessions in seconds. Much faster than a full VM.
• Portable - Works on any machine with Docker. Same environment everywhere.

This lets you run Claude Code with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` safely and fast.

One session per container

Each Claude Code session runs in its own container. Spin up as many as you need - they're isolated from each other and start in seconds. Run different research tasks, projects, or experiments in parallel without interference. Conversation history is automatically stored on your host machine via a volume mount.

Quickstart

# Build image (once, or after changes)
./scripts/build.sh

# Start container and web terminal
./scripts/run.sh

# To mount a local project (host_path:container_path)
./scripts/run.sh -v ~/myproject:/home/sclaw/myproject

# Run multiple sessions with -s
./scripts/run.sh -s work        # safeclaw-work on next available port
./scripts/run.sh -s research    # safeclaw-research on next available port

On first run, `run.sh` will prompt you to set up authentication tokens. It then starts a web terminal at http://localhost:7681 and opens it in your browser.

Dashboard

Manage all sessions from a web dashboard:

node dashboard/server.js

Opens at http://localhost:7680 with:

• Create new sessions with volume mounts and initial queries
• All sessions listed with start/stop/delete controls
• Live iframe views of active sessions
