scratch-trash-guard

What problem does it solve?

Guard deletions by enforcing a mandatory mode choice and a typed confirmation code before any destructive file operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enforces explicit consent for destructive actions on files or directories.
• Offers two safety options: permanent deletion or moving to a dated trash directory with preserved paths.
• Generates a unique, exact confirmation code required to execute the action.
• Handles ambiguity by asking for a clear mode and code before proceeding.
• Provides final outcome reporting with the trash location or confirmation of permanent deletion.

Quick Start

Identify candidate files, present the target set, choose a mode (permanent delete or move to trash), then enter the exact confirmation code to execute.
