Ask HN: How do you solve AI's confused deputy problem?

Sun, 05/31/2026 - 11:40pm

An agent's value is proportional to the permissions it's been granted.

There's been a lot of hype around solutions like default denial proxies, key vaults, and more, but nothing seems to address the core tension: an agent can be tricked into doing an attacker's bidding.

The best thing I could think of was to just run an observer loop and monitor everything the agent does with another LLM, but I'm curious if anyone has an elegant solution.

Show HN: Ralphy – open-source autonomous Claude Codd built on the Ralph loop

Sun, 05/31/2026 - 11:07pm

Hi HN,

Ralphy is a tool that runs Claude Code in an autonomous loop overnight: you queue up tasks, and it works through each one to completion (plan → execute → validate → iterate → commit to a branch) unattended.

I built this on the side to scratch my own itch. As I'm French, Ralphy is a chef who manages the kitchen. I kept wanting to hand off tasks before going to bed and wake up to work already done, instead of waking up during the night.

It's based on Frank Bria's ralph-claude-code, which itself is based on Geoff Huntley's "ralph" loop. The idea is dead simple: keep re-prompting the agent until the task is actually done.

If you have a Claude subscription and hit the usage limits, you can add the session to Ralphy and it will automatically resume the work as soon as your limits reset.

It's open source, so give it a try! I'd be happy to improve it based on your feedback.
