- People adding computer access to AI coding chats
- Worth noticing
- The demo shows local WSL2 execution and rejects `sudo rm -rf /`; the site explicitly says its guardrails are not a sandbox.
Field notes
The setup examples connect Husk to AI clients through MCP, while `husk doctor` reports available computer and model providers; the sample report shows local and Ollama ready, with Docker unavailable. Named workspaces are described as surviving reconnects and restarts. The site also presents a separate path from chat transcripts to agent specifications and runnable tasks, alongside its computer-access tools.
