jai contains AI agents on Linux

jai is a lightweight Linux sandbox for AI coding agents from Stanford Secure Computer Systems and FDCI. It keeps the working directory writable while copy-on-write protecting the rest of home, with stricter modes when confidentiality matters.

// ANALYSIS

This is the right kind of boring infrastructure: it lowers the blast radius of local agent workflows without forcing everyone into Docker or a VM.

  • Copy-on-write home plus private temp dirs target the most common failure mode: destructive file writes and wiped dotfiles.
  • Strict mode is the more serious security story, because it swaps in a separate UID and empty home for real confidentiality.
  • The ergonomics matter: `jai codex` or `jai claude` is far easier to adopt than a handwritten bubblewrap wrapper or container image.
  • It is still not a hard security boundary; network access remains, and casual mode can still read anything your user can read.
