# Safety Guard — Prevent Destructive Operations

## When to Use

- When working on production systems
- When agents are running autonomously
- When you want to restrict edits to a specific directory
- During sensitive operations (migrations, deploys, data changes)

## Protection Modes

### Mode 1: Careful Mode
Intercepts destructive commands before execution and warns:

```text
Watched patterns:
- rm -rf (especially /, ~, or project root)
- git push --force
- git reset --hard
- git checkout . (discard all changes)
- DROP TABLE / DROP DATABASE
- docker system prune
- kubectl delete
- chmod 777
- sudo rm
- npm publish (accidental publishes)
- Any command with --no-verify
```

When detected: shows what the command does, asks for confirmation, suggests safer alternative.

### Mode 2: Freeze Mode
Locks file edits to a specific directory tree:
```
/safety-guard freeze src/components/
```
Any Write/Edit outside that directory is blocked.

### Mode 3: Guard Mode (Careful + Freeze combined)
Both protections active. Maximum safety for autonomous agents.

### Unlock
```
/safety-guard off
```

## Pitfalls

- Not a replacement for proper backup strategy
- Doesn't prevent reading sensitive data, only destructive writes
- Local focus — doesn't protect against network-level attacks
