Red Light Green Light blocks unauthorized agent edits

Red Light Green Light introduces a tiered permission guardrail framework for AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Pi, and Codex. By implementing customizable red, yellow, and green safety modes, the system prevents autonomous agents from straying beyond defined project bounds or mutating unauthorized files during software development workflows.

// ANALYSIS

AI coding agents are notorious for overstepping boundaries, touching files outside their assigned context, or introducing unintended breaking changes; Red Light Green Light solves this by placing explicit permission guardrails directly on agent operations.

–Enforces strict safety modes (red/yellow/green) to manage autonomous file modifications and agent permissions.
–Designed specifically to mitigate scope creep and unauthorized code edits in tools like Claude Code and Codex.
–Fully open-source, giving developers full visibility and customizable rule definitions for local agent execution.
