Overview

About This Skill

The claude-code-safety-net is a powerful Claude Code automation skill designed to act as a protective barrier against destructive git and filesystem commands. By intercepting potentially harmful commands before they execute, this plugin ensures that developers can work more safely and confidently. With its intermediate complexity, the skill can be implemented in approximately 30 minutes, making it a quick yet effective addition to your development toolkit. The primary benefit of the claude-code-safety-net is its ability to prevent accidental execution of critical commands such as 'rm -rf', which can lead to irreversible data loss. Additionally, it blocks destructive git commands like 'git reset --hard', safeguarding uncommitted changes from being lost. This is particularly valuable for teams working in shared environments, as it enhances security protocols by flagging and reviewing all destructive operations before execution. While the time savings are not explicitly quantified, the prevention of data loss and the reduction of troubleshooting time can lead to significant efficiency gains. This skill is essential for developers, product managers, and AI practitioners who rely on git and filesystem commands in their workflows. It is especially relevant for those working in collaborative settings where the risk of unintentional data loss is heightened. By integrating the claude-code-safety-net into your AI-first workflows, you can ensure that AI agents operate within safe parameters, automatically catching harmful commands that could disrupt your projects. Implementing the claude-code-safety-net requires an intermediate understanding of git and filesystem operations. As the skill is still gaining traction, with 944 GitHub stars but no weekly installs reported, it represents a niche yet critical addition to the growing landscape of AI automation tools. By adopting this skill, you can enhance your development practices, reduce the risk of costly mistakes, and foster a more secure coding environment.

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Implement the Claude Code Safety Net for my project. Review the following git commands: [GIT_COMMANDS]. Identify any that could be potentially destructive and suggest safer alternatives or confirm their safety. Additionally, analyze the following filesystem commands: [FILESYSTEM_COMMANDS] and flag any that might cause data loss. Provide detailed explanations for each identified command.

Example Output

After analyzing the provided git commands, the following were identified as potentially destructive: 'git push --force' and 'git reset --hard HEAD'. These commands can overwrite changes and lead to data loss if not used carefully. Instead, consider using 'git push --force-with-lease' to ensure you don't overwrite others' work unintentionally. For the filesystem commands, 'rm -rf /path/to/directory' was flagged as dangerous. It's recommended to use 'mv /path/to/directory /path/to/backup_directory' to safely back up your data before deletion. Always ensure you have a backup before executing any destructive commands.
