AI deployment requires robust safety checks beyond dry runs

The author expresses hesitation in deploying AI-powered tools, even after a successful dry run, due to concerns about their safety and reliability. They propose a "ship card" system, a JSON file committed alongside the tool, to enforce predefined gates and evidence requirements before allowing write operations. This system includes locking down accessible paths, saving dry-run outputs like stdout and diffs, and setting limits on the number of changed files to mitigate potential damage. AI

IMPACT Suggests a practical framework for improving the safety and reliability of AI tools before deployment.

RANK_REASON The item is a personal reflection and proposal for AI tool safety, not a release or significant industry event.

    I stare at a green dry-run and still hesitate to ship. One passing fixture is not a write-mode signal for me. Would you let that helper touch a shared branch tonight? A solo CLI can look finished and still be unsafe to run. The missing piece is saved evidence, not another clever …
