disable-discipline

/git-discipline:disable-discipline

Disable the git-discipline PreToolUse:Bash guards for the current session. All guards (commit-format, commit-subject, commit-body, commit-trailers, git-dash-c, push-wip-gate) are torn down until the operator runs /git-discipline:enable-discipline. Other sessions are not affected; the sentinel is session-specific.

Operator-actuated, by design

The sentinel file is operator territory. The sentinel-protect guard denies any agent-driven Bash call that creates or removes a git-discipline-disabled-* file, with no magic-comment or env-var escape. That guard fires even when the operator typed this command: the agent's job here is to prepare the exact command and hand it to the operator, who runs it via the ! prefix in the prompt (or their own terminal). The physical keystroke that flips the switch is always the operator's.

When to use

Only when the operator explicitly types this command. Never suggest this to get past a blocked commit. The guards exist for a reason; bypassing them is the operator's choice, not Claude's.

Typical use: a session that deliberately works outside the normal commit schema (e.g. a series of trivial fixup commits, a rebasing session, or an experimental branch where the discipline does not apply temporarily).

Recovery

Restore the guards with /git-discipline:enable-discipline. Check the status with /git-discipline:discipline-status.

Implementation

Perform the following steps:

1. Determine the current session_id. Read $CLAUDE_SESSION_ID from the environment if available. Alternatively: get the session_id from the transcript path available in the hook context, or derive it from the most recent JSONL file under ~/.claude/projects/. If neither works, use the global sentinel (see below).

2. Do NOT run the sentinel write yourself; the sentinel-protect guard denies it. Print the ready-to-paste command for the operator instead.

   If session_id is available:

   ! mkdir -p ~/.laicluse/git-discipline && touch ~/.laicluse/git-discipline/git-discipline-disabled-<SESSION_ID>
   

   If session_id is NOT available (global sentinel; warn that this disables the guards for ALL sessions until removed):

   ! mkdir -p ~/.laicluse/git-discipline && touch ~/.laicluse/git-discipline/git-discipline-disabled-global
   

   Substitute <SESSION_ID> with the literal id so the operator can paste the line as-is. When LAICLUSE_HOME is set to a non-default location, substitute that root for ~/.laicluse.

3. Tell the operator, in one line, to paste the command (the ! prefix runs it directly in the session) and that /git-discipline:enable-discipline restores the guards.

4. After the operator has run it, confirm via [ -f <sentinel-path> ] (read-only checks are not blocked) and report the resulting state.

Do not write further explanation or caveats. The operator typed this command deliberately.
