description	Use before git mutation, branch deletion, resets, cleaning, force pushes, broad restore commands, PR operations, or any git action with destructive or remote side effects.

Git guardrails

Core rule

Use prompt and permission safety. Do not add hook scripts unless the user explicitly asks.

Always inspect first

• git status --short
• git diff
• git diff --cached
• git log --oneline -n 15 when history matters

Ask first

• git push
• git reset --hard
• git clean -f or stronger
• git branch -D
• git checkout . or broad git restore .
• force push, amend, rebase, or history rewrite
• committing files that may contain secrets

Commit rule

Commit only when the user explicitly asks. If committing, use repository style and do not bypass hooks.

Output

State the intended git action, the evidence inspected, and the safety decision: proceed, ask, or block.
