FAQPage Schema

How do I prevent accidental destructive commands when debugging live production systems?▼

Preventing destructive commands in production requires activating a guard mode that enforces directory-scoped edit restrictions and triggers warnings before harmful operations execute. It protects critical systems during live debugging.

How do I set up directory-scoped edit restrictions for collaborative development?▼

Directory-scoped edit restrictions are set up by specifying a target directory to restrict edits to, then enabling guard mode to apply a directory-wide edit freeze. This enforces strict edit boundaries for collaborative environments.

Do I need any specific extensions installed to enforce edit boundaries and command warnings?▼

Yes, enforcing edit boundaries and command warnings requires the /careful and /freeze skills to be installed beforehand. The system uses these dependencies to store the freeze boundary in a state file and report the active guard status.

What is the best way to freeze edits and warn against destructive operations simultaneously?▼

The best way to freeze edits and warn against destructive operations is to combine both safety features into a single activation. This mode applies a directory-wide edit freeze alongside destructive command warnings for maximum protection.

Can I use guard mode to protect critical systems during DevOps operations?▼

Yes, you can use guard mode to protect critical systems during DevOps operations by enforcing a user-specified edit boundary and warning before destructive commands. It is suitable for production touches and strict operational guardrails.
