Profiles & Groups - Nono Docs

Profiles are pre-configured capability sets that define what a sandboxed process can access. Groups are the composable building blocks that profiles are made from. Together they codify security policy so you don’t have to specify flags manually every time.

Use nono profile to inspect, compare, and validate profiles and groups from the command line. See Profile Introspection for details.

Profiles

Why Profiles?

Manually specifying capabilities for every tool is tedious and error-prone:

# Without profiles - verbose and easy to misconfigure
nono run --allow-cwd --read ~/.claude --read-file ~/.claude/config.json -- claude

Profiles simplify this:

# With profiles - concise and auditable
nono run --profile claude-code -- claude

Profile Sources

Profiles can come from three sources, in order of precedence:

Source	Location	Trust Level
CLI flags	Command line	Highest - explicit user intent
User profiles	`~/.config/nono/profiles/.json` or `.jsonc`	Medium - user-defined
Pack / preset profiles	Installed packs or compiled presets	Base - audited defaults

CLI flags always override profile settings.

Profile Format

Profiles use JSON format:

{
  "meta": {
    "name": "my-agent",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "Profile for my custom agent"
  },
  "workdir": {
    "access": "readwrite"
  },
  "groups": {
    "include": ["node_runtime", "python_runtime", "git_config"],
    "exclude": []
  },
  "commands": {
    "allow": [],
    "deny": []
  },
  "filesystem": {
    "allow": ["$HOME/.config/my-agent"],
    "read": [],
    "write": [],
    "allow_file": [],
    "read_file": [],
    "write_file": [],
    "deny": [],
    "bypass_protection": [],
    "suppress_save_prompt": [],
    "unix_socket": [],
    "unix_socket_bind": [],
    "unix_socket_dir": [],
    "unix_socket_dir_bind": [],
    "unix_socket_subtree": [],
    "unix_socket_subtree_bind": []
  },
  "network": {
    "block": false
  },
  "session_hooks": {
    "before": {
      "script": "/path/to/setup.sh",
      "timeout_secs": 30
    },
    "after": {
      "script": "/path/to/cleanup.sh",
      "timeout_secs": 10
    }
  }
}

## Session Hooks

Session hooks are scripts that run before or after the sandboxed process, outside the sandbox with host privileges. Useful for setup and cleanup tasks the sandboxed process should not have access to -- for example, creating a private TMPDIR per session.

### Configuration

Both `before` and `after` are optional. Each hook specifies a script path and an optional timeout:

```json
{
  "session_hooks": {
    "before": { "script": "/path/to/setup.sh", "timeout_secs": 30 },
    "after":  { "script": "/path/to/cleanup.sh", "timeout_secs": 10 }
  }
}

script (required): absolute path to an executable script.
timeout_secs (optional): kills the script if it exceeds this duration.

Before hook

Runs before the sandboxed process starts. The script receives NONO_SESSION_ID, NONO_WORKDIR, and NONO_ENV_FILE — a temporary file where KEY=VALUE lines can be written to export environment variables to the sandboxed process.

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p "/tmp/$NONO_SESSION_ID"
echo "TMPDIR=/tmp/$NONO_SESSION_ID" >> "$NONO_ENV_FILE"

After hook

Runs after the sandboxed process exits. Receives NONO_SESSION_ID, NONO_WORKDIR, and NONO_EXIT_CODE. Cleanup only — does not export environment variables.

#!/bin/sh
rm -rf "/tmp/$NONO_SESSION_ID"

AF_UNIX Socket Grants

The unix_socket* filesystem fields grant connect(2) (and optionally bind(2)) on pathname AF_UNIX sockets. Abstract-namespace and unnamed sockets are never grantable — only filesystem-backed socket paths.

Field	Grants	Implied fs grant
`unix_socket`	`connect` only, single socket file	Read on the file
`unix_socket_bind`	`connect` + `bind`, single socket file	ReadWrite on the file (exists) or on the parent directory (pending — bind will create the file)
`unix_socket_dir`	`connect` only, any direct child of a directory	Read on the directory (recursive)
`unix_socket_dir_bind`	`connect` + `bind`, any direct child of a directory	ReadWrite on the directory (recursive)
`unix_socket_subtree`	`connect` only, any descendant of a directory	Read on the directory (recursive)
`unix_socket_subtree_bind`	`connect` + `bind`, any descendant of a directory	ReadWrite on the directory (recursive)

unix_socket_dir* forms are non-recursive at the socket layer: only sockets directly inside the named directory are covered. Use unix_socket_subtree* when a tool creates sockets below nested subdirectories. The implied filesystem grant is recursive (Landlock’s only expressible granularity), so socket scope is enforced separately by the supervisor (Linux) or Seatbelt path emission (macOS). Today, macOS enforces the direct-child versus subtree distinction in Seatbelt. Linux V4+ currently relies on Landlock filesystem rules for pathname AF_UNIX, so directory socket grants are recursive there until the seccomp AF_UNIX allowlist mediation path is enabled. Under restricted network modes (--block-net or --network-profile), connect(2) to a Unix socket requires an explicit unix_socket* grant — a plain allow_file/allow grant no longer implicitly permits it.

Working Directory

The workdir section controls whether and how the current working directory is automatically shared with the sandboxed process.

Value	Meaning
`"none"`	No automatic CWD access (default if section omitted)
`"read"`	Read-only access to CWD
`"write"`	Write-only access to CWD
`"readwrite"`	Full read+write access to CWD

When a profile specifies a workdir access level, nono will prompt the user to confirm CWD sharing (unless --allow-cwd is used to skip the prompt).

Filesystem Overrides and Group Composition

Fine-grained additive and subtractive composition lives across three canonical sections:

filesystem — path-based allow, deny, and deny-exemption entries
groups — policy group inclusion (include) and removal (exclude)
commands — startup-time command allow/deny (deprecated since v0.33.0; not enforced on child processes)

This is the primary mechanism for surgically customizing inherited profiles without redefining everything from scratch.

Field	Section	Description
`include`	`groups`	Policy group names to apply on top of inherited defaults
`exclude`	`groups`	Remove groups from the resolved group set (exclusion wins over addition)
`read`	`filesystem`	Additional read-only directories to allow
`write`	`filesystem`	Additional write-only directories to allow
`allow`	`filesystem`	Additional read+write directories to allow
`deny`	`filesystem`	Additional deny rules to apply (block read and write content). On macOS, Unix socket paths also emit a `network-outbound` deny so that `connect(2)` to the socket is blocked.
`deny`	`commands`	Deprecated in v0.33.0. Startup-only command denylist extension. Not enforced for child processes; prefer `filesystem.deny` and narrower grants.
`bypass_protection`	`filesystem`	Paths exempted from deny groups. Does not grant access — each path must also appear in `filesystem.allow`, `filesystem.read`, or `filesystem.write`.
`suppress_save_prompt`	`filesystem`	Paths whose runtime denials should not be offered in save-profile prompts. Does not grant access and does not hide diagnostics.

Renamed in issue #594. The old top-level policy section was dissolved into filesystem, groups, and commands in the canonical schema. Legacy names still deserialize with a deprecation warning; see the migration table in nono profile guide for the full mapping. The legacy keys will be removed in v1.0.0.

Adding a Deny Rule to an Inherited Profile

Block a specific path that a base profile would otherwise allow:

{
  "meta": {
    "name": "claude-deny-git",
    "version": "1.0.0"
  },
  "extends": "claude-code",
  "filesystem": {
    "deny": ["$HOME/.gitconfig"]
  }
}

nono run --profile claude-deny-git -- claude

Blocking Container Access (Docker, Podman, kubectl)

Use filesystem.deny as the enforcement mechanism. commands.deny remains deprecated startup-only compatibility behavior:

{
  "extends": "claude-code",
  "meta": { "name": "no-docker", "version": "1.0.0" },
  "filesystem": {
    "deny": ["/var/run/docker.sock"]
  },
  "commands": {
    "deny": ["docker", "docker-compose", "podman", "kubectl"]
  }
}

On macOS, filesystem.deny on a socket path also emits a network-outbound deny — Seatbelt classifies connect(2) as a network operation, so a file deny alone won’t block it. Prefer path- and network-based controls; commands.deny is not enforced for child processes.

Adding Write-Only Access

Grant write-only access to a directory without granting read:

{
  "meta": {
    "name": "write-only-cache",
    "version": "1.0.0"
  },
  "extends": "default",
  "filesystem": {
    "write": ["$HOME/.cache/my-agent-cache"]
  },
  "workdir": {
    "access": "none"
  }
}

Removing Groups from an Inherited Profile

Remove the deprecated startup-only command-gating group to allow rm, chmod, etc.:

{
  "meta": {
    "name": "no-dangerous-commands",
    "version": "1.0.0"
  },
  "extends": "default",
  "groups": {
    "exclude": [
      "dangerous_commands",
      "dangerous_commands_linux",
      "dangerous_commands_macos"
    ]
  }
}

Overriding a Deny Rule for a Specific Path

Some deny groups (like deny_credentials) are marked as required and cannot be excluded. Use filesystem.bypass_protection to punch a targeted hole through a deny group for a specific path. The path must also be explicitly granted via another filesystem entry — bypass_protection only removes the deny rule, it does not implicitly grant access.

{
  "meta": {
    "name": "docker-agent",
    "version": "1.0.0"
  },
  "extends": "opencode",
  "filesystem": {
    "allow": ["$HOME/.docker"],
    "bypass_protection": ["$HOME/.docker"]
  }
}

This allows access to ~/.docker even though deny_credentials blocks it by default. The deny override does not implicitly grant access — the matching filesystem.allow entry is required. This is equivalent to the CLI flag --bypass-protection:

nono run --profile opencode --allow ~/.docker --bypass-protection ~/.docker -- opencode

Suppressing Save Suggestions Without Granting Access

Use filesystem.suppress_save_prompt when a path is expected to be denied and you do not want nono to keep offering it as a profile addition:

{
  "extends": "claude-code",
  "meta": { "name": "claude-local", "version": "1.0.0" },
  "filesystem": {
    "suppress_save_prompt": ["$HOME/.copilot/settings.json"]
  }
}

filesystem.suppress_save_prompt only suppresses the save-profile suggestion for matching denials. The sandbox still denies the path, and the diagnostic footer still shows the denial, annotated with [save skipped] so it is clear why the path does not appear in the save prompt. The interactive save prompt applies this to every listed path suggestion when you choose suppress; it does not create any allow/read/write grants.

filesystem, groups, and commands fields are additive across inheritance. A child profile’s filesystem.deny is merged with the base profile’s filesystem.deny, and groups.exclude from both levels are combined.

Network Configuration

The network section controls network access and credential injection.

{
  "network": {
    "block": false,
    "network_profile": "claude-code",
    "allow_domain": ["my-internal-api.example.com"],
    "open_port": [3000],
    "listen_port": [8080],
    "credentials": ["openai", "anthropic"],
    "upstream_proxy": "squid.corp:3128",
    "upstream_bypass": ["git.internal.corp", "*.dev.local"],
    "custom_credentials": {
      "telegram": {
        "upstream": "https://api.telegram.org",
        "credential_key": "telegram_bot_token",
        "inject_header": "Authorization",
        "credential_format": "Bearer {}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Field	Description
`block`	Block all network access (default: `false`)
`network_profile`	Network profile name for host filtering (e.g., `minimal`, `claude-code`, `enterprise`). Set to `null` in a child profile to clear an inherited value.
`allow_domain`	Additional domains to allow through the proxy
`open_port`	Localhost TCP ports to allow bidirectional IPC (equivalent to `--open-port`)
`listen_port`	TCP ports the sandboxed child may listen on (equivalent to `--listen-port`)
`credentials`	Credential services to enable via reverse proxy (e.g., `openai`, `anthropic`)
`custom_credentials`	Custom credential service definitions for APIs not in the built-in list
`upstream_proxy`	Upstream (enterprise) proxy address, e.g., `squid.corp:3128`
`upstream_bypass`	Domains to bypass the upstream proxy (exact hostnames and `*.` wildcards)

Custom Credentials

The custom_credentials field lets you define credential services for any API:

Field	Required	Default	Description
`upstream`	Yes	-	Upstream URL (must be HTTPS, or HTTP for localhost)
`credential_key`	Yes	-	Keystore account name
`inject_header`	No	`Authorization`	Header to inject credential into
`credential_format`	No	`Bearer {}`	Format string (`{}` replaced with credential)

See Credential Injection for complete documentation.

Hooks

The hooks section defines hooks that nono will automatically install for specific applications.

{
  "hooks": {
    "claude-code": {
      "event": "PostToolUseFailure",
      "matcher": "Read|Write|Edit|Bash",
      "script": "nono-hook.sh"
    }
  }
}

Hook installation is idempotent - nono only installs or updates when needed.

Interactive Mode (deprecated)

The interactive field is parsed for backward compatibility but ignored. Supervised mode (the default) preserves the TTY, making this field unnecessary.

{
  "meta": { "name": "my-agent" },
  "interactive": true
}

Rollback Exclusions

The rollback section controls which files are excluded from atomic rollback snapshots:

{
  "rollback": {
    "exclude_patterns": ["node_modules", ".next", "__pycache__", "target"],
    "exclude_globs": ["*.tmp.[0-9]*.[0-9]*"]
  }
}

These exclusions are combined with gitignore patterns from the working directory.

Skip Directories

Use skipdirs to extend the built-in heavy-directory skip list for pre-exec trust scanning and rollback preflight:

{
  "skipdirs": ["generated", "vendor-cache"]
}

Entries are matched as exact path component names. They do not grant or deny sandbox access; they only prune traversal during trust discovery and rollback heuristics.

Environment Variables

Profiles support these environment variables in path values:

Variable	Expands To
`$WORKDIR`	Current working directory (from `--workdir` or cwd)
`$HOME`	User’s home directory
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`	XDG config directory (default: `~/.config`)
`$XDG_DATA_HOME`	XDG data directory (default: `~/.local/share`)
`$XDG_STATE_HOME`	XDG state directory (default: `~/.local/state`)
`$XDG_CACHE_HOME`	XDG cache directory (default: `~/.cache`)
`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`	XDG runtime directory (no default; left unexpanded when unset)
`$TMPDIR`	System temporary directory
`$UID`	Current user ID

Creating User Profiles

Use nono profile init to scaffold a new profile:

# Scaffold a profile that inherits from default with the node_runtime group
nono profile init my-agent --extends default --groups node_runtime

# Validate the generated profile
nono profile validate ~/.config/nono/profiles/my-agent.json

# Use the profile
nono run --profile my-agent -- my-agent-command

See Profile Authoring for the full workflow, including JSON Schema integration, editor autocomplete, and the LLM authoring guide. You can also load a profile by file path:

nono run --profile ./profiles/my-agent.json -- my-command

Overriding Pack Profiles

CLI flags always take precedence over profile settings:

# Use claude-code profile but block network
nono run --profile claude-code --block-net -- claude

# Use claude-code profile but add a custom domain
nono run --profile claude-code --allow-domain custom-api.example.com -- claude

# Add extra directory access
nono run --profile claude-code --allow ~/other-project -- claude

To keep a base profile but clear an inherited network profile, set network.network_profile to null in the child:

{
  "meta": { "name": "claude-code-netopen" },
  "extends": "claude-code",
  "network": { "network_profile": null }
}

You can also create a user profile with the same name to override a pack profile entirely.

Groups

Groups are named, composable collections of security rules. Profiles reference groups by name in their groups.include field.

How Groups Compose

Every profile’s effective capability set is built through composition:

((default_profile_groups + profile.groups.include) - profile.groups.exclude) + profile.filesystem.{allow,read,write} + profile.commands.allow - (deny_groups + profile.filesystem.deny + profile.commands.deny) + profile.filesystem.bypass_protection + CLI flags

default_profile_groups come from the built-in default profile
profile.groups.include adds additional groups on top
profile.groups.exclude removes groups from the composed set (exclusion wins)
profile.filesystem.allow/read/write, profile.filesystem.deny, and profile.commands.allow/deny apply additive overrides
profile.filesystem.bypass_protection punches targeted holes through deny groups (requires a matching grant in filesystem.allow/read/write)
CLI overrides (--allow, --read, --bypass-protection, etc.) are applied last

profile.filesystem.suppress_save_prompt and --suppress-save-prompt are prompt filters only; they do not participate in capability enforcement. The older filesystem.ignore and --ignore-denied forms are accepted as aliases, but new examples use the explicit suppress wording to avoid suggesting an access grant. Exclusions are applied after group addition. If the same group appears in both groups.include and groups.exclude, the exclusion wins.

Group Taxonomy

Groups use a structured allow/deny taxonomy:

Allow Operations

Field	Meaning
`allow.read`	Read-only access to listed paths
`allow.write`	Write-only access (no read)
`allow.readwrite`	Both read and write access

Deny Operations

Field	Meaning
`deny.access`	Block both read and write content (metadata like `stat` still allowed)
`deny.unlink`	Block file deletion globally
`deny.commands`	Block execution of listed commands

Other

Field	Meaning
`symlink_pairs`	macOS symlink-to-target path mappings (e.g., `/etc` to `/private/etc`)
`platform`	Restrict group to `"macos"` or `"linux"` only

Built-in Groups

nono ships with 32 built-in groups: Deny groups (block sensitive content):

deny_credentials - SSH keys, cloud credentials, GPG keys, container and package manager tokens
deny_keychains_macos - macOS Keychain databases, 1Password, password-store
deny_keychains_linux - Linux keyring, 1Password, password-store
deny_browser_data_macos - Browser data on macOS (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Arc, Brave)
deny_browser_data_linux - Browser data on Linux (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave)
deny_macos_private - macOS Messages, Mail, Cookies, MobileSync
deny_shell_history - Shell history files (.bash_history, .zsh_history, .python_history)
deny_shell_configs - Shell config files that may contain API keys (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile, .env)

Protection groups:

unlink_protection - Prevents file deletion, with override for user-writable paths
dangerous_commands - Blocks rm, dd, chmod, sudo, mkfs, pip, npm, kill, etc.
dangerous_commands_macos - macOS-specific: srm, brew, launchctl
dangerous_commands_linux - Linux-specific: shred, mkfs.*, fdisk, systemctl, apt, yum, dnf, pacman

System path groups (grant necessary system access):

system_read_macos - macOS system libraries, frameworks, dyld cache
system_read_linux - Linux system libraries, locale data
system_write_macos - macOS temp directories, cache paths
system_write_linux - Linux temp directories

Cache groups (user-level caches and state):

user_caches_macos - ~/Library/Caches, ~/Library/Logs, ~/Library/Preferences
user_caches_linux - ~/.cache, ~/.local/state

Runtime groups (language toolchain paths):

node_runtime - nvm, fnm, npm, pnpm, volta
rust_runtime - rustup, cargo
python_runtime - pyenv, conda, pip, uv
go_runtime - ~/go, /usr/local/go
nix_runtime - Nix profile paths, /nix/store, /nix/var (Linux only)
user_tools - Local bins, .desktop files, man pages, shell completions
homebrew - /opt/homebrew, /usr/local/Cellar, /usr/local/opt (macOS only)

Tool-specific groups (paths for specific applications):

claude_code_macos - macOS Keychain for Claude Code credential storage
claude_code_linux - ~/.local/share/claude
claude_cache_linux - ~/.cache/claude-cli-nodejs
codex_macos - macOS Keychain for Codex credential storage
opencode_linux - ~/.opencode/bin (Linux only, needed for Landlock exec)
vscode_macos - ~/.vscode, ~/Library/Application Support/Code
vscode_linux - ~/.vscode, ~/.config/Code

Command blocking is a best-effort surface-level control. It matches against the executable name being invoked directly. A process can bypass this by calling the equivalent syscall from within an allowed interpreter (e.g., os.remove() in Python, fs.unlinkSync() in Node.js) or by invoking a renamed copy of the binary. For hard filesystem protection, rely on the kernel-enforced deny groups and unlink_protection, which cannot be bypassed from userspace regardless of how the operation is invoked.

Platform-Specific Groups

Groups with a platform field only apply on that OS:

{
  "system_read_macos": {
    "platform": "macos",
    "allow": {
      "read": ["/System/Library", "/usr/lib"]
    }
  }
}

Groups without a platform field (like deny_credentials) apply on all platforms. Platform-specific groups use _macos or _linux suffixes by convention.

Platform Differences

macOS (Seatbelt) supports full deny-within-allow semantics. A group can allow /Users but deny /Users/luke/.ssh and the deny takes precedence. Linux (Landlock) is strictly allow-list. Deny groups are implemented as exclusion filters - broad allow groups that overlap deny paths will generate warnings. Avoid granting access to parent directories of deny paths on Linux.
