Securing Claude Code: Guardrails for AI-Assisted Development by Jim Manico
In a presentation to OWASP London, Jim Manico, founder of Manicode Security, presents how he uses Claude Code to bootstrap projects safely using Claude Code and carefully scripted prompts and inputs. Using the approach he demos, developers won’t just vibe code sloppy, insecure software, but will set up their projects to get deterministic, high quality results.
Manico begins by starting Claude and having it create a new repository on GitHub. Once the repository.....
Sharp-eyed readers of this series may have noticed something…suboptimal: Up until this point, we’ve been creating certain objects as global variables. They’re immutable, so that may be technically OK, but those of a certain age have been taught for years how wrong that is, so technically OK or not, it just feels gross. In this post, we’re going to fix that with by implementing inversion of control with Koin...
In the last entry, we looked at how to read data from the device’s local database using Room and display it on the screen, but we did so using dummy data. In this entry, we’ll look at how to use Room in our components to persist user-entered data in our SQLite database...
In the last post — months ago (and, yes, I hand typed the em dash, not some soulless AI :) — we added support for the Room database API, so now we can store data, but we have no way of seeing what we’ve saved. We also have no way of giving it data to save. In this post, we’ll tackle the first part by creating views to show what we have, then loading the database.....
