Not everything needs to be AI-powered, even within an AI-first tool. I recently learned this while writing a Claude skill paired with the Claude in Chrome extension, and I got a lot more clarity on how to get the most out of these tools. Here’s what I learned.

We introduced Docker Sandboxes in experimental preview a few months ago. Today, we’re launching the next evolution with microVM isolation, available now for macOS and Windows. We started Docker Sandboxes to answer the question: How do I run Claude Code or Gemini CLI safely? Sandboxes provide disposable, isolated environments purpose-built for coding agents. Each agent...
