How to have a Claw agent review a repository with approval gates with Xyne Spaces

Run a sandboxed agent that reads a repo and runs code, with you approving every write.

Remote script. Claw agents run real code and shell commands inside a sandbox, so review what the agent executes before approving any follow-up work.

Who it is forAn engineering lead who wants an agent to read a codebase and report on it, without giving it write access by default.

The problemCode review and investigation take time, and agents that run code are risky when they can change things without a check.

The outcomeThe agent returns a review of the repository, and every write it proposes waits for your approve or decline click.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22.x and pnpm 10.15.0
  • A container runtime with Compose, such as OrbStack, Docker Desktop or Podman
  • Git and a terminal
  • Model provider settings if you want agents to run (see docs/setup/ai-providers.md)

Steps

  1. Start the stack with pnpm run up and open http://localhost:3002 for Xyne Claw.
  2. Create an agent in Claw and point it at the repository you want reviewed.
  3. Ask the agent for a read-only review of the code and its failing tests.
  4. When the agent proposes a write, such as a ticket or a message sent as you, approve or decline the card in the thread.
  5. Read the final review and check the cited files before acting on it.

Prompt for your agent

Use the Claw agent in Xyne Spaces to review the repository <repo-name> that is connected to my account. Expected output: a short review listing issues by file and line. Verify that every write action waits for approval and that no write happens without a card being approved.

Caveat. The README says the sandboxed shell runs in a Kata Containers microVM with egress closed, so the agent cannot reach outside networks from that shell, which limits what the review can fetch.
