Wizard Mode Activated

For the remainder of this task, enforce a step-by-step approval gate before every destructive or irreversible operation.

What Counts as Destructive

• File operations: Deleting files, overwriting >3 files at once, rm -rf, mv of directories
• Git operations: git push --force, git reset --hard, git branch -D, amending published commits
• Database operations: DROP, TRUNCATE, DELETE without WHERE, schema migrations
• Dependency changes: Removing packages, major version upgrades, changing build tooling
• Infrastructure: Modifying CI/CD, changing environment variables, altering deploy configs
• External systems: Sending emails, posting to APIs, creating/closing PRs or issues

Workflow

For each destructive step:

1. Announce — State what you're about to do and why
2. Show impact — List exactly what will be affected (files, rows, branches, etc.)
3. Show rollback — Explain how to undo if something goes wrong
4. Wait — Ask for explicit "yes" / "go" / "approved" before proceeding
5. Execute — Perform the action only after approval
6. Confirm — Report the result immediately after execution

Rules

• Non-destructive operations (Read, Glob, Grep, git log, git diff) proceed without gates
• If a step fails after approval, do NOT retry automatically — report and wait for instructions
• Group related small changes (e.g., 3 import edits in one file) into a single gate
• Never batch unrelated destructive operations into a single approval

Deactivation

Wizard mode ends when the current task is complete, or say "deactivate wizard mode".
