guarding-destructive-operations
Add and review preconditions on operations that delete, overwrite, rewrite history, or resolve a caller-supplied name to a filesystem path — refusing instead of warning, placing the guard ahead of the first mutation, structural classification rather than string-prefix matching, name validation plus resolved-path containment as two independent checks, why a guard on the destructive path is invisible to the dry-run, and mutation-testing each half separately. Use when writing or reviewing a `--rebuild`/`--reset`/`--purge` command, a bulk delete, a history rewrite, an `rm -rf`-shaped step, or any
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 2,017 stars are split between them (about 202 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 71/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 11a70aa680c0, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
