I actually agree partially with the title.

I just let the agent run - it'll run better diagnostics than I can (misc. git, permission checks, commands with flags I don't remember).

If the process yields an error - it means it can't solve it and I have to step in.

Being desperate and copy pasting the error back in is just foolish procrastination.

The actual body of the article with just passing in your api keys is insane tho.

I'm the OP and wanted to clarify. We do not give Claude Code access to production API keys. The intent was staging databases and I've updated the post to make it more clear.

We assume that every API key we put into Claude Code can be leaked and therefore make sure there's nothing sensitive behind them.
