Use safe-rm to remove files by renaming them to .obsolete instead of permanently deleting. This makes deletions reversible, collision-safe, and hook-compliant.
Run: ./.claude/bin/safe-rm [files or directories]. Then verify renamed files exist as [name].obsolete and recover with mv [name].obsolete [name].

Safe file removal renames target files to .obsolete instead of permanently deleting them, making deletions reversible. Run ./.claude/bin/safe-rm [files or directories] to rename files, then restore by moving them back from .obsolete to their original names.
Yes, deletions are fully reversible. Files renamed to .obsolete can be restored by renaming them back to their original names using mv [name].obsolete [name], making this approach ideal for refactoring and cleanup workflows.
Safe-rm uses timestamp suffixes to create collision-safe renames when a .obsolete file already exists, preventing overwrites and ensuring each removal operation creates a unique, recoverable state.
Safe-rm supports batch operations on multiple files and directories, including temporary build artifacts, deprecated code during refactoring, old tests, assets, and documentation—any content you want to clean up while preserving recoverability.
Yes, safe-rm is hook-compliant and operates within pre-tool hook constraints, making it suitable for automated shell workflows and version control integration without interfering with existing hook logic.
Safe-rm provides reversibility for cleanup operations, reducing risk during refactoring and batch deletions. Collision-safe timestamped renames and status reporting give you control and visibility over what's being removed.
