Cc Safety Net

Workflow

Help the user configure custom blocking rules for CC Safety Net.

Use information already provided in the user's prompt. Ask only when the scope, action, rule intent, merge behavior, or target command is unclear.

1. Run npx -y cc-safety-net rule doc and treat that output as the complete source of truth for schema, paths, GitHub sources, matching behavior, and validation.
2. Determine the requested scope from the prompt when possible:
   • User: applies to all projects.
   • Project: applies only to the current project.
   • GitHub: edits or creates a shareable rulebook structure in the current repository.
3. Determine whether to add a rule, edit a rule, disable a rule, override a reason, migrate legacy rules, or explain custom rules from the prompt when possible.
4. Inspect existing configs before modifying installed local rules:
   • Run npx -y cc-safety-net rule verify
   • Run npx -y cc-safety-net rule list
5. Inspect relevant project files only when the user asks for rule suggestions or the requested rule depends on project context. Look at manifests, scripts, task runners, CI, infrastructure, database, migration, and deployment files that explain risky commands.
6. Convert the request into valid CC Safety Net JSON using rule doc.
   • For User or Project scope, add or edit the selected local rule.json and <rulebook-name>/rulebook.json.
   • For GitHub scope, add or edit .cc-safety-net/rules/<rulebook-name>/rulebook.json in the current repository.
   • Do not offer to add a GitHub source with owner/repo; installing rules from a GitHub source is outside this workflow.
7. Preserve unrelated existing rulebook sources, overrides, and rulebooks. Preview proposed JSON before writing when creating a new rulebook, merging with existing config, or resolving ambiguity.
8. For GitHub rules, ensure the repository layout is .cc-safety-net/rules/<rulebook-name>/rulebook.json, and ensure the source name, directory name, and rulebook name match exactly.
9. Validate after edits:
   • Project rules: run npx -y cc-safety-net rule sync, npx -y cc-safety-net rule verify, npx -y cc-safety-net rule test, and npx -y cc-safety-net rule list.
   • User rules: run npx -y cc-safety-net rule sync --global, npx -y cc-safety-net rule verify, npx -y cc-safety-net rule test --global, and npx -y cc-safety-net rule list.
   • Shareable GitHub rulebook-only edits: run npx -y cc-safety-net rule verify and npx -y cc-safety-net rule test <rulebook-name>. Run sync and list only if the rulebook is also installed in local rule.json.
10. If validation or tests fail, show the exact errors and make the smallest fix.
11. Confirm the saved paths or GitHub rulebook path and summarize the added or updated rules.

Rules

• Custom rules can only add restrictions; they cannot bypass built-in CC Safety Net protections.
• Config files list rulebook sources. Rule definitions live in rulebook.json, not directly in rule.json.
• Do not use legacy inline .safety-net.json or ~/.cc-safety-net/config.json rules. Convert existing legacy files with npx -y cc-safety-net rule migrate.
• Every rule command must be listed in allowed_commands, and every rule must have at least one blocked fixture.
• Blocked fixtures must specify the expected rule; include allowed fixtures for close-but-safe commands.
• Local source names are bare names such as project-rules; do not put filesystem paths in rules.
• Invalid config, corrupt cache, invalid local rulebooks, or remote rulebook repair failures fail closed until repaired with npx -y cc-safety-net rule sync.
