Careful Mode

Review and QAevalv1.0.0released 2026-07-06

Steps

Entry step: active. Each step names the specialist role it wants; the full working prompt is expandable.

   Careful mode is **active**: destructive tool calls now pause for the user’s approval before running.
   
   What gets flagged:
   
   | Pattern | Risk |
   |---|---|
   | `rm` of a workspace path (except build artifacts like `node_modules`, `dist`, `build`, `.cache`, `coverage`) | permanent file loss |
   | recursive shell deletes (`rm -r` / `rm -rf`) inside scripts | permanent file loss |
   | `DROP TABLE` / `DROP DATABASE` / `TRUNCATE` | data loss |
   | `git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `git checkout .` / `git restore .` | history rewrite / uncommitted-work loss |
   | `kubectl delete`, `docker rm -f`, `docker system prune` | live-infrastructure impact |
   
   Work normally — there is nothing special to do. When a call is flagged the user sees a permission card and decides. If they decline, adjust your approach instead of retrying the same call. Keep this task open for as long as careful mode should stay on; closing it uninstalls the guardrails.
