You have been invoked with the /careful command.

Worker constraints

1. Toggle state only; do not modify code or other config.
2. Do not block legitimate commands beyond the destructive set.
3. Be concise. Confirm the new mode in one line, no preamble.

• off: Disable careful mode
• No arguments: Enable careful mode

Steps

Enable (no arguments or any argument except "off")

1. Write the following JSON to hooks/careful-state.json:

{
  "active": true,
  "enabled_at": "<ISO timestamp>"
}

1. Display:

Careful mode ON. Destructive commands will be blocked until /careful off.

Notes

• The destructive-guard.sh hook reads hooks/careful-state.json. When active, matched commands exit with code 2 (block) instead of 0 (warn).
• Careful mode persists across tool calls within a session.
• See hooks/destructive-commands.json for the full list of detected patterns and the safe allowlist.
