SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents accidental or unwanted edits by restricting file modifications to a configurable directory for the current session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Directory-boundary enforcement for Edit and Write operations to keep changes scoped to a chosen module or folder.
  • Session-scoped lockdown that can be activated during debugging and lifted with a reset command.
  • Simple integration as a PreToolUse hook that checks the target path and denies operations outside the boundary.

Quick Start

Provide a directory path to freeze when prompted; the tool will enforce the boundary for subsequent edits within that session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restrict file edits to a specific directory to prevent accidental changes?

You can restrict file edits to a specific directory by using a PreToolUse hook that validates target file paths and denies write operations outside the designated boundary. This keeps modifications scoped to a chosen folder during a session.

Can I lock edits to a folder during a debugging session?

Yes, you can lock edits to a folder during a debugging session by activating a directory-boundary enforcement hook. This prevents accidental modifications to files outside the target module while you work.

How does a PreToolUse hook validate file paths for write operations?

A PreToolUse hook validates file paths by reading a persisted directory path, checking the target file path against that boundary, and returning a deny decision for any edit or write operation attempted outside the allowed directory.

What is the best way to scope edits to a single module for modular development?

The best way to scope edits to a single module is to enforce a directory boundary that restricts write operations to that specific folder. This avoids collateral modifications to other parts of the project during development.

How do I lift the directory edit restriction after finishing my debugging workflow?

You can lift the directory edit restriction by issuing a reset command. This deactivates the session-scoped lockdown and allows write operations to proceed normally outside the previously designated boundary.
