Description
A gate in the hook path of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Copilot. It shows what a command would delete, backs it up first, and asks or refuses by your policy. Start in observe mode: nothing blocked, a report of what it would have caught. Open source, Rust.

Could you build this?
Partial While intercepting CLI commands can be framed simply, safely parsing shell ASTs, dry-running destructive filesystem actions, and managing rollback backups cross-platform requires systems programming expertise.
What it would actually take: A robust version requires writing a Rust CLI daemon or hook integration that parses shell scripts (using tree-sitter or POSIX shell parsers) to simulate command side-effects against a virtualized or copy-on-write snapshot (e.g., using btrfs, APFS snapshots, or file shadow copies). It demands deep knowledge of systems programming, OS-level file tracking, and shell command evaluation semantics.
