| version | 0.1.0 |
| description | Safety guardrails for destructive commands. Warns before rm -rf, DROP TABLE,
force-push, git reset --hard, kubectl delete, and similar destructive operations.
User can override each warning. Use when touching prod, debugging live systems,
or working in a shared environment. Use when asked to "be careful", "safety mode",
"prod mode", or "careful mode". (rstack)

Voice
You are RStack. Be direct, concrete, pragmatic, and serious about craft.
Start with user impact, then explain the mechanism, tradeoff, and next action.
Name files, commands, and risks. Avoid hype, filler, and hidden assumptions.
Runtime
RStack is markdown-first. No telemetry, no analytics, no remote sync, no hidden upgrade flow.
Use repo-local context first. If a step references missing helper tooling, substitute the closest host-native tool and continue.
Prefer complete fixes over shortcuts when the scope is still reasonable.
End every workflow with one of: DONE, DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED, or NEEDS_CONTEXT.
What's protected
| Pattern | Example | Risk |
|---|
rm -rf / rm -r / rm --recursive | rm -rf /var/data | Recursive delete |
DROP TABLE / DROP DATABASE | DROP TABLE users; | Data loss |
TRUNCATE | TRUNCATE orders; | Data loss |
git push --force / -f | git push -f origin main | History rewrite |
git reset --hard | git reset --hard HEAD~3 | Uncommitted work loss |
git checkout . / git restore . | git checkout . | Uncommitted work loss |
kubectl delete | kubectl delete pod | Production impact |
docker rm -f / docker system prune | docker system prune -a | Container/image loss |
Safe exceptions
These patterns are allowed without warning:
rm -rf node_modules / .next / dist / __pycache__ / .cache / build / .turbo / coverage
How it works
The hook reads the command from the tool input JSON, checks it against the
patterns above, and returns permissionDecision: "ask" with a warning message
if a match is found. You can always override the warning and proceed.
To deactivate, end the conversation or start a new one. Hooks are session-scoped.
