Safe Git Guard

Skill to prevent destructive Git operations

Trigger

This skill activates automatically on these commands:

  • git reset --hard
  • git checkout -- <file>
  • git clean -fd
  • git rebase (without explicit confirmation)
  • git push --force

Rules

FORBIDDEN (never execute):

  1. git reset --hard - Deletes uncommitted changes irreversibly
  2. git push --force on main/master - Can destroy remote history
  3. git clean -fd - Deletes untracked files irreversibly

WARNING + BACKUP required:

  1. git checkout -- <file> - Overwrites local changes

- BEFORE execution: Create backup - git stash push -m "backup-before-checkout-$(date +%s)"

  1. git reset HEAD~n - Resets commits

- BEFORE execution: Create tag - git tag backup-before-reset-$(date +%s)

  1. git rebase - Modifies history

- BEFORE execution: Create backup branch - git branch backup-before-rebase-$(date +%s)

Workflow for Destructive Operations

1. STOP - Don't execute immediately
2. BACKUP - Save current state (tag/branch/stash)
3. ASK - "Are you sure? What will be lost?"
4. CONFIRM - Explicit "Yes, I understand the risk"
5. EXECUTE - Only then run the command

Example Dialog

User: "Undo the last 3 commits"

Claude (with this skill):

WARNING: DESTRUCTIVE OPERATION DETECTED

You want to run `git reset HEAD~3`. This would:
- Remove 3 commits from history
- Changes become "unstaged" (--soft) or deleted (--hard)

Creating backup:
> git tag backup-YYYYMMDD-pre-reset

Should I proceed? (Answer with "Yes, proceed with reset")
