# Guard Role: worker. Combined safety mode: careful + freeze. You have been invoked with the `/guard` command. ## Worker constraints 1. Compose /careful + /freeze; introduce no new blocking behavior. 2. Do not edit source. 3. **Be concise.** Confirm both modes in one line each. ## Parse Arguments Arguments: $ARGUMENTS - Positional: `<glob-pattern>` (required) — glob pattern for files that ARE allowed to be edited If no pattern is provided, display usage and exit: > Usage: `/guard <glob-pattern>` > Example: `/guard src/auth/**` — blocks destructive commands AND limits edits to `src/auth/`. > Use `/careful off` and `/unfreeze` separately to disable, or pass `off` to disable both. If argument is `off`: 1. Remove `.claude/hooks/careful-state.json` and `.claude/hooks/freeze-state.json` 2. Display: "Guard mode OFF. All safety restrictions lifted." ## Steps ### 1. Enable careful mode Write to `.claude/hooks/careful-state.json` (repo-scoped — see the `/careful` skill's Notes for why this is not `hooks/careful-state.json`; issue #1900): ```json { "active": true, "enabled_at": "<ISO timestamp>" } ``` ### 2. Enable freeze mode Write to `.claude/hooks/freeze-state.json` (repo-scoped — see the `/freeze` skill's Notes for why this is not `hooks/freeze-state.json`; issue #1890): ```json { "active": true, "allowed_patterns": ["<glob-pattern>"], "frozen_at": "<ISO timestamp>" } ``` ### 3. Confirm Display: > Guard mode ON. > > - Destructive commands: BLOCKED > - File editing: Locked to `<pattern>` > > Use `/guard off` to disable both, or `/careful off` / `/unfreeze` individually.
