Show HN: Agent Box – Instant Sandbox VM for Claude Code(Macs) (github.com)

Agent Box has introduced a sandboxed virtual machine (VM) designed specifically for Claude Code on macOS Apple Silicon, granting it unrestricted access to system resources without endangering the host machine's stability. This innovative environment addresses limitations of Claude Code, which previously struggled with installing system packages and running Docker containers. With full sudo access and an isolated workspace, developers can now execute complex operations with confidence, as any mistakes made within the VM won't impact their primary Mac system. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it enhances the usability and functionality of Claude Code, empowering developers to utilize machine learning tools more effectively. Agent Box's VM setup, utilizing a native ext4 filesystem, ensures high I/O performance while maintaining real-time collaboration through an SSHFS mount. By providing a structured yet flexible environment—complete with essential tools like Docker, Node.js, and Git—Agent Box strengthens Claude Code's capabilities, facilitating smoother experimentation and productivity for developers working in AI and machine learning frameworks.
