cc-safe-setup
Safety-first configuration for Claude Code. Prevents the accidents that happen when AI writes code autonomously.
What it does
Installs pre-built safety hooks into your Claude Code environment. These hooks run automatically before/after tool calls to block dangerous operations.
Categories:
- File protection: Block
rm -rf, prevent overwriting files outside project
- Git safety: Prevent force-push to main, block
reset --hard
- Credential guards: Stop
.env files from being committed or read by AI
- Token optimization: Warn on large file reads, limit subagent spawning
- Quality gates: Detect lazy rewrites, verify claims before committing
Quick start
npx cc-safe-setup
This runs an interactive wizard that configures hooks based on your risk profile.
Install individual hooks
npx cc-safe-setup --install-example large-read-guard
npx cc-safe-setup --install-example prevent-rm-rf
npx cc-safe-setup --install-example git-force-push-block
Why hooks instead of CLAUDE.md rules
Rules in CLAUDE.md are suggestions — Claude can forget them. Hooks are enforced at the system level. A hook that blocks rm -rf cannot be overridden by the AI.
From 800+ hours of autonomous operation: the hooks that matter most are the ones you don't notice until something goes wrong.
