Prompting a coding agent to confirm before risky actions
How to write an instruction that makes a coding agent pause before destructive or shared-system actions, and why a prompt alone is not enough protection.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

The parts of a local code Q and A tool: chunker, keyword index, embeddings, vector search and a local model server. What each does and how to lock it down.
What data protection by design and by default means in code and architecture: minimisation, retention, access defaults and pseudonymisation.
Preview dependency upgrades with the Safeguard CLI fix command in dry run mode, limit them by severity and version jump, then open a draft pull request.
Seven checks to run on your own machine before you open a pull request that touches dependencies, from lockfile diffs to license and gate results.
Which checks go in a pre-commit hook, which in pre-push, and which only in CI? Three tests decide it: speed, bypass risk and who needs the result.
A GRANT on existing tables does not cover tables you create later. Learn how ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES works and which role it applies to.
The pnpm workspace: protocol forces a dependency to resolve to a package in your monorepo, so a missing or renamed package fails instead of using the registry.
pnpm catalogs let a monorepo declare each shared dependency version once in pnpm-workspace.yaml. Here is the syntax, the benefits and the limits to know.
