Before running any delete, review the checklist and execute commands in the safe order:
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Prevent shell session breakage during rm -rf by running pwd first to verify the current directory. Change to a parent directory or use absolute paths after confirming your location to ensure you never delete the active working directory.
Shell sessions break when rm -rf deletes the current working directory or its ancestor. Avoid this by running pwd to verify your location and changing to a safe parent directory before executing the recursive delete command.
The safe pattern for rm -rf in shell scripts requires a pre-delete checklist: check pwd, ensure the script is not inside the target directory, and execute the delete using explicit absolute paths to prevent accidental working directory removal.
Yes, safe-rm protects filesystems during interactive shell operations by enforcing a mandatory pre-delete checklist. It verifies the working directory before rm -rf operations to ensure deletes happen only from safe locations with explicit path references.
If your shell session breaks after an accidental rm -rf, follow recovery guidance to restore the session. The skill provides clear recovery steps and outlines how to minimize risk during future automated tasks using safe patterns.
