Restrict file edits to a specific directory for the session. Blocks Edit and Write outside the allowed path. Use when debugging to prevent accidentally "fixing" unrelated code, or when you want to scope changes to one module.
Provide the directory path to restrict edits to, and subsequent Edit or Write operations outside that boundary will be blocked.

To restrict file edits to a specific directory, you need an edit boundary mechanism. This Skill uses a PreToolUse hook to run a boundary check script before any Edit or Write operations, blocking accidental modifications outside your designated folder.
A PreToolUse hook for preventing accidental code changes is a script that intercepts file modification commands before they execute. It enforces a session state boundary check, ensuring edits remain scoped to a single directory to avoid fixing unrelated code.
To scope file writes to one folder and prevent modifying unrelated modules, you apply a session-wide edit boundary. By setting a designated directory path, subsequent operations outside that boundary are automatically blocked by a pre-execution hook.
Yes, you can use a bash hook to freeze edits when debugging code. This approach stores the allowed directory in a session state and uses a boundary check script to block any Write or Edit operations outside that specific path during your debugging session.
A limitation of using directory-restriction hooks for scoped development is that the boundary applies per session. You must explicitly provide the directory path to restrict edits to, and the hook only blocks Edit and Write operations outside that allowed path.
