Code

You can use these models to write code. No duh, Almanc, tell me something I don't know!!

The safest way to do this is to keep it working in a contextual chat window. This version doesn't have any access to your computer's local resources, documents, or infrastructure. This isn't very efficient and you'll burn through tokens faster if you're building complex things. For scripts and smaller things that don't have dependencies, this is fine. 

The most efficient-to-safe way to do this to grant very very specific access and use the agent within a tool like Visual Studio Code (VSCode for short). You can also use model-specific native apps like OpenAi's Codex or Claude Code. VSCode gives you a lot of control and allows you to switch accounts super fast! Nice. Model-specific native apps have some other bells and whistles. I've used 'em all and I tend to gravitate to VS Code with consistency. 

This gives your agent Terminal Access, but it asks for permission for each run. If you don't know what you're doing this could be very dangerous. Even though it's widely used and accessible! It is very important that you give write access to a tightly scoped directory. 

Even more efficient and very unsafe is autonomous agentic tools like OpenClaw. I'd skip it unless you have a windows box on a VLAN that you can insulate from... everything!
