About heinzel

Heinzel — System Administration with Safety Guardrails Heinzel is a set of rules that turns an AI coding assistant into a cautious, methodical sysadmin. It works with Claude Code, OpenCode, or any other terminal-based AI tool that can read project files and run shell commands. It manages Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS targets — remote servers over SSH and the local machine alike — and runs on any workstation where your AI tool runs, including Windows (via WSL or natively).
