safe-delete

What problem does it solve?

Prevent catastrophic file deletion by intercepting unsafe rm invocations, blocking high-risk patterns, and turning recoverable removals into trash operations to enable easy recovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Blocks dangerous patterns including rm -rf /, rm -rf ~, sudo rm -rf, and other root- or wildcard-level deletions.
• Transforms safe rm to trash so deleted files are moved to the system Trash/Recycle Bin and can be restored.
• PreToolUse hook integration intercepts Bash commands before execution and supports per-project and global configuration.
• Configurable and auditable with customizable blocked patterns, allow-lists, and logging of decisions for compliance and debugging.
• Use case: A developer who accidentally types rm -rf ./node_modules will have the command converted to a trash invocation instead of permanently removing files.

Quick Start

Use the safe-delete skill to convert the command rm -rf ./dist into a recoverable trash invocation.
