What is Freestyle for coding agents?

Freestyle creates isolated sandboxes so AI coders can run wild without wrecking your machine — think Node envs with firewalls.

Do coding agents really need sandboxes?

Yes, unless you love surprise rm -rf or leaked secrets. Execution risk trumps bad code every time.

Is Freestyle open source and free?

Totally — npm install freestyle-sandbox, tweak, ship. No paywalls.
