Show HN: Doberman: The AI watchdog that stops Claude from deleting your database

Doberman, a new AI security tool launched on Hacker News, claims to stop AI models like Claude from executing dangerous commands such as deleting a database, addressing the gap left by existing guardrails that only block 89% of threats. The two-layer system monitors every input, output, and tool call at runtime, combining deterministic security guidelines with dynamic learning from user behavior.

Landing Page: https://www.trydoberman.dev/ The Problem: AI guardrails only protect against 89% of dangerous commands. This may seem pretty good until you think of it as a lock that lets 1 in 9 intruders in.

What is Doberman: Doberman is a two layer security system wrapped around your LLM monitoring every input, output and tool call. The first layer is deterministic based on state of the art security guidelines, the second layer is dynamic, learning from your use and personal preferences.

How is Doberman different: It is a dynamic two-layer security system that sits at runtime and monitors every input, output, and tool execution, adapting with you as you work.
