What problem does it solve?

Safety guardrails prevent accidental destructive commands by warning before they execute and allowing you to override with caution in shared environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PreToolUse hook that inspects Bash commands for destructive patterns
  • Interactive warnings that prompt for confirmation before dangerous actions
  • Per-command override policy to enable safe experimentation in development

Quick Start

Enable careful mode and let the guardrails warn you before risky commands.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent accidental destructive Bash commands from executing?

To prevent destructive Bash commands, you need guardrails that warn you before execution and require explicit confirmation. This Skill inspects commands via a PreToolUse hook and prompts for confirmation before dangerous actions run.

Can I require confirmation before running commands like rm or git reset?

Yes, requiring confirmation before running commands like rm or git reset is the core function. The guardrails detect destructive patterns in your Bash tools and trigger interactive warnings that prompt you to approve the action.

Does this safety mode work with kubectl delete in production environments?

This safety mode works in production environments by intercepting kubectl delete and similar risky operations. It logs usage analytics and enforces safety checks across both development and production contexts to prevent accidental damage.

How do I override the Bash command guardrails for safe experimentation?

You override the Bash guardrails using the per-command override policy. This allows you to bypass the confirmation prompts for specific commands, enabling safe experimentation during development without disabling protection globally.

Do I need python3 installed to use Bash command guardrails?

Yes, python3 is required to use these Bash command guardrails. The environment must have python3 installed to execute the PreToolUse hook that inspects commands and enforces the confirmation workflow.

What are the limitations of using a PreToolUse hook for destructive command protection?

A limitation of using a PreToolUse hook for destructive command protection is that it only inspects Bash tools for known destructive patterns. Complex or obfuscated commands might bypass the pattern matching if they do not match predefined risk signatures.
