Hooks

The plugin includes hooks that run automatically to keep Claude disciplined:

• session-start — Injects ground rules (no sycophancy, literal execution, read before acting)
• retro-reminder — Nudges to run /retro if 3+ days since last one
• block-git-revert — Blocks git reset, git restore, git checkout -- <file>. Forces manual execution.
• block-unsafe-delete — Whitelists rm to specific directories only. Everything else blocked.
• pre-edit — "Did you read this file?" checklist before any edit
• ask-user-question — Enforces research-first, 4+ options, self-contained questions
• sync-shaping — Ripple-check reminders when editing shaping documents
• user-prompt-submit — Pre-response checklist (read the code, question vs instruction, test your changes)

Safe Delete

Claude loves running rm -rf. Protect yourself by replacing rm with trash so deleted files go to macOS Trash instead of being permanently destroyed:

brew install trash

Then alias rm to trash in your shell profile:

cat >> ~/.zshenv << 'EOF'
# Safe delete - moves to Trash instead of permanent deletion
rm() {
  local args=()
  for arg in "$@"; do
    [[ "$arg" =~ ^-[rRfidv]+$ ]] && continue
    args+=("$arg")
  done
  trash "${args[@]}"
}
EOF

This silently strips rm flags (-rf, -i, etc.) and sends files to Trash. Claude thinks it's deleting; you can undo from Trash.

Dotfiles

macOS dotfiles managed with GNU Stow.

New Machine Setup

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heyJordanParker/dotfiles/master/setup.sh | bash

This installs Xcode CLI tools, Homebrew, all packages from Brewfile, bun, and symlinks configs.

Manual Usage

# Add a new config
cd ~/dotfiles
mkdir -p newapp/.config/newapp
mv ~/.config/newapp/config newapp/.config/newapp/
stow newapp

# Remove symlinks
stow -D newapp

# Re-link after changes
stow -R newapp

Structure

Each top-level directory is a stow package. Files inside mirror their target location relative to $HOME.
