Overall it's been great. However, I find myself having to review every single command, a lot of which are repetitive. It still saves me a ton of time, but it's quickly becoming a bit tedious

I wish I could give the agent some more autonomy. Like giving it a list of pre-approved commands or actions that it is allowed to run over ssh

For example:

    OK: ls, grep, cat, tail\n    Not OK: rm, mv, chmod, etc\n    OK: SELECT queries\n    Not OK: INSERT, DELETE, DROP, TRUNCATE\n

\nHas anyone successfully or satisfactorily solved this?

What setups have actually worked for you, and where do you draw the line between autonomy and risk?","time":1768417583,"title":"Ask HN: How do you safely give LLMs SSH/DB access?","type":"story"}],[46489257,{"by":"ichbinsoftware","descendants":1,"id":46489257,"kids":[46494284,46489269],"score":2,"text":"Hi HN

I wrapped my open-source album in an NPM package to treat music as a software dependency.

Why? So you can build visualizers or players without scraping. You get the lyrics, artwork, manifesto, BPM/Key metadata, and direct stream/download URLs programmatically.

- Main synth and effects came from hardware (synthesizers/circuits), not software.

This could potentially:

- Speed up initial development by bypassing traditional requirements gathering

- Allow business users to directly express their needs as working prototypes

- Let developers focus more on architecture, performance, security, and complex features

- Create more collaborative relationships between business and technical teams

Is this just the naive thinking of a software _user_ who doesn't understand how software development works, or could this application of vibe coding change how things are done?","time":1744987714,"title":"Ask HN: Is 'vibe coding' the future of software development?\"","type":"story"}],[43596438,{"by":"hsiYwko","descendants":5,"id":43596438,"kids":[43600699,43633251,43599954,43597727,43599081],"score":6,"text":"Hi HN!

This past weekend, I built a tool called GitSummarize, it's an open-source ai-powered documentation tool.

Given any public GitHub repository it generates high-quality documentation from the codebase using Gemini 2.5 Pro. Specifically, it tries to extract the tribal knowledge, business logic/rules embedded within codebases.

Pro Tip: You can replace "hub" with "summarize" in any repository URL to access its documentation.

I created this because there was a steep learning curve to understanding some of the open-source codebases out there while getting started with contributing. Having detailed documentation would have been super helpful in those situations.

This project was heavily inspired by GitIngest and GitDiagram so make sure to check those out as well!

Give it a try and I would appreciate any feedback!
