Why it matters
Useful for individual developers, AI power users, and small teams who want a Claude-Code-style agent running as a real desktop app instead of a CLI tweak, because Open-Cowork packages the sandbox, the MCP tool installer, and the Feishu/Slack connectors into one MIT-licensed binary, which means a working agent goes from zero to running in a single install.
Who should use it
Who should skip it
Skip or sandbox it if you cannot review permissions, data access, and failure modes before use.
Risk explanation
It installs Claude Code and MCP tools into a sandbox on your machine, so audit the sandbox boundary, the Feishu/Slack connector permissions, and the file-system access scope before letting it run unattended.
