Developer troubleshooting Claude Code mod failures

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered issues with a "guard mod" designed to prevent risky shell commands when using Claude Code. The mod, intended to intercept commands like `rm -rf` and `git push --force`, was enabled but failed to function, logging nothing. The developer identified several potential pitfalls, including the project not being trusted by Claude Code, incorrect log file locations, and misconfigured plugin options.
