Is this skill configured per project or globally?

It can be used both ways; you can install it globally for all Claude Code sessions or include specific instructions in a project's CLAUDE.md file.

Can I still force a permanent deletion if needed?

The skill is designed to prioritize safety by default. While it transforms standard 'rm' to 'trash', its primary goal is to ensure no file is unrecoverable during an AI-driven session.

Does this work with sudo commands?

Yes, the skill specifically monitors and blocks 'sudo rm -rf' patterns to prevent unauthorized or accidental system-level modifications.

How does Safe Delete prevent accidental file loss?

It uses PreToolUse hooks to intercept Bash commands, blocking dangerous patterns like 'rm -rf /' and redirecting standard 'rm' commands to the 'trash' utility for easy recovery.

Do I need to install any external tools for this skill to work?

Yes, you need a trash utility installed on your system, such as 'brew install trash' on macOS or 'trash-cli' on Linux, for the redirected commands to execute.

Safeguards your filesystem by intercepting dangerous rm commands and redirecting safe deletions to a recoverable trash utility.

Safe Delete provides a critical safety layer for Claude Code by preventing catastrophic data loss during file management tasks. By utilizing PreToolUse hooks, the skill automatically blocks high-risk patterns like 'rm -rf /' and 'sudo rm -rf' while transparently transforming standard 'rm' commands into recoverable 'trash' operations. This ensures that even if the AI suggests a deletion, files remain recoverable through the system trash rather than being permanently purged, making it an essential tool for developers who want to maintain a safe and reversible development environment.
