wip-file-guard

Hook that blocks destructive edits to protected identity files. For Claude Code CLI and OpenClaw.

When to Use This Skill

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.

Do NOT Use For

• Protecting binary files or images
• Blocking all edits (it allows small edits, only blocks destructive ones)
• Repos without identity files
