What problem does it solve?
Blocks the Write tool from overwriting existing files with content, forcing the LLM to use the Edit tool instead. This prevents accidental full-file rewrites that lose content or introduce regressions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Prevents accidental overwrites by enforcing edits instead of rewrites.
- Supports exemptions patterns (e.g., *.lock, .generated., *.min.js, *.min.css) to allow safe overwrites.
- Easy configuration to enable or disable overwrite protection and tailor to project needs.
Quick Start
Configure the guard with your exemptions and options, then initialize it to start blocking overwrites.
