Approval Boundary Tool for Claude Code Repository Work
A developer has created a tool called "approveonce" that adds an approval boundary for AI-assisted repository work with Claude Code. The tool addresses the concern that "I'll review it carefully" feels insufficient when local repository work can actually execute code.
How the Tool Works
The tool implements a specific workflow loop:
- See the plan first
- Approve once
- Let the run happen locally
- Keep proof afterward
What It Does
The tool adds a review step before local execution instead of assuming a good plan should automatically authorize the run. This creates a safety boundary between planning and execution phases when using AI coding assistants for repository work.
Development Process
The developer built this tool themselves because they felt existing approaches were "too soft" once local repo work could actually run. Claude Code helped iterate on the implementation and tighten the product/UI copy into a smaller workflow. While the developer chose the boundary and final behavior, Claude was part of building the working version.
Availability
The tool is free to try at https://arkheos.ai/approveonce/. Proof of execution is available at https://arkheos.ai/proof/.
The developer is primarily interested in whether this boundary feels useful to people already using Claude Code rather than pitching the tool.
