View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Guard mode combines two safety layers: destructive command warnings (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push) and directory-scoped edit restrictions. It activates both protections at once with a single command. Designed for working on production systems or live debugging sessions where mistakes are hard to reverse.
Instead of manually tracking which files you've touched or second-guessing destructive commands, guard mode enforces both constraints automatically so you can't accidentally overwrite the wrong directory or run a command that deletes data.
When to use it
- Restricting edits to a single service directory while debugging a live API
- Blocking accidental DROP TABLE or rm -rf during a database migration
- Working in a shared repo where only one subdirectory should be touched
- Locking down file writes to a feature branch directory before a production deploy
- Adding a safety net when pair-debugging on a system you don't fully know yet
