safety-guard
Use this skill to prevent destructive operations when working on production systems or running agents autonomously.
npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill safety-guard --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Safety Guard — Prevent Destructive Operations ## When to Use - When working on production systems - When agents are running autonomously (full-auto mode) - When you want to restrict edits to a specific directory - During sensitive operations (migrations, deploys, data changes) ## How It Works Three modes of protection: ### Mode 1: Careful Mode Intercepts destructive commands before execution and warns: ``` Watched patterns: - rm -rf (especially /, ~, or project root) - git push --force - git reset --hard - git checkout . (discard all changes) - DROP TABLE / DROP DATABASE - docker system prune - kubectl delete - chmod 777 - sudo rm - npm publish (accidental publishes) - Any command with --no-verify ``` When detected: shows what the command does, asks for confirmation, suggests safer alternative. ### Mode 2: Freeze Mode Locks file edits to a specific directory tree: ``` /safety-guard freeze src/components/ ``` Any Write/Edit outside `src/components/` is blocked with an explanation. Useful when you want an agent to focus on one area without touching unrelated code. ### Mode 3: Guard Mode (Careful + Freeze combined) Both protections active. Maximum safety for autonomous agents. ``` /

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill safety-guard --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
