Claude Code, especially with the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag on, carries inherent risk when run on your main machine. You can eliminate / mitigate these risks by creating a separate environment on your spare Mac with everything it needs to have access to. It has an added bonus of being able to talk to Claude Code anytime, anywhere from your phone.
