SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guards against destructive command execution and enforces directory-bound edits to protect critical systems during admin tasks and debugging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Combines careful-style destructive-command warnings with freeze-style edit boundaries to prevent accidental damage.
  • Provides pre-tool safety hooks that verify Bash actions, edits, and writes before they run.
  • Use Case: Enable guard mode during prod maintenance to ensure edits stay inside a safe directory and destructive commands are warned.

Quick Start

Activate guard mode and set a freeze directory to restrict edits to a safe path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent destructive bash commands from running during production maintenance?

You can prevent destructive bash commands by enabling guard mode, which applies pre-tool safety hooks to verify actions and warns against destructive command execution before they run.

How do I enforce directory-bound edits to restrict file modifications to a safe path?

To enforce directory-bound edits, activate guard mode and set a freeze directory, which applies edit boundaries to ensure modifications stay restricted inside a designated safe path.

What is pre-tool safety checking for bash actions and file writes?

Pre-tool safety checking is a mechanism that verifies bash actions, edits, and writes against safety boundaries and destructive command patterns before they are executed.

Can I use safety hooks to protect systems when multiple contributors are debugging?

Yes, guard mode is specifically designed for admin, debugging, and production maintenance scenarios where multiple contributors could cause unintended changes to critical systems.

Does guard mode work with cross-skill hooks for comprehensive write safety?

Yes, guard mode integrates cross-skill hooks with careful and freeze components, combining destructive-command warnings with edit boundaries to provide comprehensive write safety.
