Squidbrake
Squidbrake is a change control tool for AI agents that requires human sign-off for destructive actions.
Squidbrake acts as a change control system for AI agents by reviewing actions before they execute. Everyday tasks run autonomously, while irreversible actions like force pushes, file deletes, destructive SQL, and cloud deletes pause for human approval. The software installs via a single command, connects local AI agents, and opens a management dashboard. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, VS Code, and Antigravity. The tool runs locally on the user's computer and is available as open source software on GitHub.
