Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 2918542c78 fix(hooks): nest freeze/careful permissionDecision under hookSpecificOutput
Claude Code ignores a top-level permissionDecision, so the /freeze deny and
/careful ask guards silently allowed everything. Nest both under
hookSpecificOutput with permissionDecisionReason, update the shape-blind
tests to pin the nested form, and document the constraint in both skill
templates (regen included).

Closes half of #1459 (freeze enforcement chain).

Contributed by @jawadakram20 (PR #2331; team-init hunk deferred to the
dedicated team-init fix).

When to invoke this skill

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".

/careful — Destructive Command Guardrails

Safety mode is now active. Every bash command will be checked for destructive patterns before running. If a destructive command is detected, you'll be warned and can choose to proceed or cancel.

mkdir -p ~/.gstack/analytics
echo '{"skill":"careful","ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","repo":"'$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")'"}'  >> ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true

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 a hookSpecificOutput payload with permissionDecision: "ask" and a warning reason if a match is found (the decision must be nested under hookSpecificOutput — Claude Code ignores a top-level permissionDecision). You can always override the warning and proceed.

To deactivate, end the conversation or start a new one. Hooks are session-scoped.
