Patronum Add

Skill: patronum-add

Add a protection pattern to the agento-patronum shield.

Pattern formats

• File globs — matched against file paths: **/.env, ~/.aws/credentials, **/*.tfstate
• Commands — must be wrapped as Bash(<command>), e.g. Bash(printenv); the hook prefix-matches the command inside the parentheses. A bare command name like printenv is treated as a file glob and will NOT block the command. Details: docs/rules/bash-commands.md.

Steps

1. Parse input

Parse the user's input from $ARGUMENTS. Expect a pattern and an optional --reason. If the user described what to protect conversationally, derive the concrete pattern yourself using the formats above (wrap commands as Bash(<command>)). If no reason is provided, generate a short reason based on what the pattern protects.

2. Confirm with user

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm the addition. Present:

• The pattern to be added
• The reason (provided or generated)
• A warning if the pattern looks overly broad (e.g. *, **/*, or very short globs)

3. Add the pattern

After the user confirms, run the script with the pattern and reason from Steps 1–2 (never raw $ARGUMENTS):

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/patronum-add.sh" "<pattern>" --reason "<reason>"

If the script reports the pattern already exists, tell the user it was already protected and stop — do not present it as a new addition.

4. Present result

Run bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/patronum-list.sh" and present the updated protection list as a markdown table:

Highlight the newly added entry.
