What problem does it solve? When working on production systems or debugging live environments, a single destructive command (like rm -rf or DROP TABLE) or an accidental edit outside the intended directory can cause serious damage. Guard mode activates two layers of protection simultaneously so risky operations are caught before they execute. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Destructive Command Warnings: Intercepts dangerous Bash commands such as rm -rf, DROP TABLE, and force-push, warning you before execution with the option to override. - Directory-Scoped Edit Boundary: Blocks Edit and Write operations on files outside a directory you specify, enforced via PreToolUse hooks. - Combined Safety Mode: Merges the /careful and /freeze skills into a single activation, ideal for touching production configs or debugging live systems. - Use Case: You are hotfixing a config file in a deployed service. Activate guard mode, restrict edits to the service's config directory, and any accidental force-push or edit outside that path is blocked or flagged. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to activate guard mode and restrict edits to your target directory, for example: turn on guard mode and lock edits to the src/config folder.
