FAQPage Schema
How do I add a warning prompt before running destructive bash commands like rm -rf or git reset --hard?▼

You can add safety guardrails by enabling careful mode, which implements pre-run hooks that detect risky patterns in bash commands and prompts you for confirmation before execution. It catches commands like rm -rf, git reset --hard, kubectl delete, and DROP TABLE.

Can I override the safety warning for specific destructive commands when I know they are safe?▼

Yes, careful mode provides a per-command override option that allows you to proceed with execution when appropriate, along with a safe-exception list for trusted tasks you want to run without prompts.

Does this destructive command warning system work for kubectl delete and database operations like DROP TABLE?▼

Yes, the safety guardrails detect risky patterns across multiple tooling environments, warning you before executing destructive commands like kubectl delete and DROP TABLE in your bash workflows.

What is the best way to prevent accidental data loss when debugging in production environments?▼

The best way is to implement pre-run hooks that warn before executing destructive commands. This protects systems by reducing the risk of data loss on prod or in shared environments during collaborative debugging.

Do I need Python3 installed to use bash command guardrails?▼

Yes, you need Python3 installed as a dependency to run the careful safety guardrails, which detect risky command patterns and prompt for confirmation before execution in your bash workflows.
