The First Thing I Set Up Before Any AI Coding Agent

Before I let any AI coding agent touch my machine, I do one thing: give it its own drive letter.

The 5-minute setup

  1. Create a folder for the agent workspace
  2. Map it to a drive letter
  3. Point the agent at that drive
  4. Start working

Tools

  • Local folder mapping: subst.scsoi.com
  • WebDAV/cloud mapping: drive.scsoi.com

Why first?

Because the first time an agent runs rm -rf, you want it to be confined to its own drive, not your home folder.

Set up the sandbox before you set up the agent.
