Crush Configuration and Security
1. The core config mindset​
Crush configuration should be understood through three questions:
- which model powers it,
- what local resources it can access,
- how results are reviewed before they are trusted.
2. Local access is the real safety issue​
Like other coding agents, Crush becomes powerful because it can work close to:
- source code,
- local files,
- shell commands,
- developer tooling.
That also means teams should treat it as a privileged development tool, not as a harmless chatbot.
3. Safe operating habits​
Use these defaults:
- work on branches,
- avoid exposing unnecessary secrets,
- review all generated diffs,
- start on low-risk repositories first.
4. Day-two operations​
Once the first session works, the next questions are usually:
- which models are approved,
- how the CLI is distributed to developers,
- what review standards apply,
- whether logs or traces should be retained.
5. Practical rollout advice​
Treat Crush like any other code-writing tool with elevated power: useful, productive, and worth governing carefully.
