description	Full safety mode: destructive command warnings + directory-scoped edits. Combines /careful and /freeze. Use for maximum safety when touching prod or debugging live systems.

guard: Full Safety Mode

Activates both destructive command warnings and directory-scoped edit restrictions. This is the combination of /careful + /freeze in a single command.

Setup

Ask the user which directory to restrict edits to:

Guard mode: which directory should edits be restricted to? Destructive command warnings are always on. Files outside the chosen path will be blocked from editing.

Once the user provides a directory path, set the freeze boundary.

What's active

1. Destructive command warnings — rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push, etc. will warn before executing (you can override)
2. Edit boundary — file edits restricted to <path>/. Edits outside this directory are blocked.

Protected command patterns:

• rm -rf, DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE, git push --force, git reset --hard, kubectl delete, docker rm -f

Safe exceptions (no warning needed):

• rm -rf node_modules / .next / dist / __pycache__ / .cache / build

To remove the edit boundary, run /unfreeze. To deactivate everything, end the session.
