Hook that blocks destructive edits to protected identity files. For Claude Code CLI and OpenClaw.
Hook that blocks destructive edits to protected identity files. For Claude Code CLI and OpenClaw.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Use wip-file-guard for: Protecting CLAUDE.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, MEMORY.md, and other identity files from being overwritten Blocking AI agents from replacing file content instead of extending it Surviving context compaction (behavioral rules get erased, but hooks don't) This is a technical guardrail, not a prompt. It blocks the operation before it happens.
Protecting binary files or images Blocking all edits (it allows small edits, only blocks destructive ones) Repos without identity files
Two rules: Write is blocked on protected files. Always. Use Edit instead. Edit is blocked when it removes more than 2 net lines from a protected file.
CLAUDE.md, SHARED-CONTEXT.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, CONTEXT.md, TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md
Any file matching: memory, memories, journal, diary, daily log
node guard.mjs --list # list protected files bash test.sh # run test suite
Add to ~/.claude/settings.json: { "hooks": { "PreToolUse": [ { "matcher": "Edit|Write", "hooks": [ { "type": "command", "command": "node \"/path/to/wip-file-guard/guard.mjs\"", "timeout": 5 } ] } ] } }
The deny message tells the agent to re-read the file and use Edit instead. If the agent ignores it, it's likely post-compaction and has lost context. The hook will keep blocking.
Check the net line removal. Edits that remove more than 2 lines from a protected file are blocked. Small edits (adding or replacing 1-2 lines) are allowed.
