Git Guardrails

Sets up a PreToolUse hook that intercepts and blocks dangerous git commands before Claude Code executes them.

Prerequisites

• jq: required for the hook script to parse tool input — install with brew install jq or apt-get install jq
  • Important: if jq is not installed, the hook will fail open (allow all commands). Always verify jq is available after setup.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

• Wants to prevent destructive git operations from being run by the AI agent
• Asks to add git safety hooks to Claude Code
• Wants to block git push, git reset --hard, or other dangerous commands
• Is setting up a new project and wants guardrails on git operations
