I built a VS Code approval boundary for AI repo work

I built this because I wanted help from AI coding tools without handing them silent control over the repo.

The shape is small on purpose:

• see the plan first
• approve once
• let it run locally
• keep proof afterward

That is what ApproveOnce does.

It is a VS Code-first product for people who like AI coding speed but still want a real approval boundary before the repo gets touched.

Product:

Proof:

The question I am testing is pretty simple:

will builders pay for tighter control over AI execution, or is this something people only say they want?

If you have built, sold, or used AI dev tools, I would love your read on:

• whether this feels like a real product or just a workflow
• whether the trust/control wedge is sharp enough
• where you would expect the first real buyers to come from
• whether the current one-time founding-access offer feels early, fair, or wrong
