Disposable Linux VMs for coding agents directly addresses AI agent orchestration and developer experience with strong community signal.
Summary
Clawk runs coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) inside a disposable Linux VM via a single `clawk` command, using OCI images as rootfs without requiring Docker. Network allow-lists and ssh-agent forwarding prevent data exfiltration while enabling git pushes, and wrecked VMs reset with `clawk destroy && clawk` without losing code or conversation history.
