hf.warn-new-file-creation

To get a warning when creating new files in git, this Skill detects untracked files during development workflows and issues a non-intrusive one-time warning per file to reduce codebase clutter. It fires on the Write tool without blocking execution.

The best way to prevent codebase bloat from new untracked files is using a soft warning mechanism that encourages editing existing files instead of creating additional ones, maintaining lean repositories and reducing drift.

The new file creation warning does not block your coding workflow. It fires on PostToolUse for the Write tool and records a non-intrusive one-time warning per file, ensuring your development process continues without interruption.

Yes, common templates and test files are ignored by the new file warning system. It specifically targets untracked new files during coding, documentation, and configuration scenarios to reduce file bloat while excluding standard boilerplate.

Warning on new file creation during software development reduces codebase clutter and encourages editing existing files. This practice maintains lean repositories and reduces drift across coding, documentation, and configuration scenarios.
