Developer AI
Cursor AI developer security
Rules, permission boundaries, inventory templates, and review gates for AI coding tools and terminal-capable agents.
Decision Path
Use the cluster as a workflow, not a reading list.
The pages below are ordered around the operating decisions a small team needs to make before expanding AI access.
- Inventory AI coding tools, extensions, agents, and code-review assistants.
- Set repository rules before tools see secrets or production-adjacent code.
- Require human review, CI, and secret scanning for AI-assisted changes.
- Treat terminal-capable agents as a higher-risk workflow.
