careful

careful is a skill for Codex from Global-mindee/WAY. It costs 87 tokens per session (671 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of careful, MIT.

A safety check for commands that can delete data, overwrite history, or remove resources. It pauses before operations such as recursive file deletion, database deletion, force-pushing Git changes, and Kubernetes deletion.

In plain words
What is it for?
It checks shell commands for destructive patterns before they run and asks for confirmation when a command may cause data loss or other damage.
Why use it?
It helps prevent irreversible mistakes, especially when working with production systems, live debugging, or shared code. You can review each warning and choose whether to continue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

careful scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Safety Advisory: This skill includes safety checks that check bash commands for destructive operations (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push, git reset --hard, etc.) before execution. When using this skill, always pause and verify before executing potentially destructive operations. If uncertain about a command's safety, ask the user for confirmation before proceeding.

/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

What's protected

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 permissionDecision: "ask" with a warning message if a match is found. You can always override the warning and proceed.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
