A developer discovered that safety modifications designed to prevent Claude Code from executing potentially harmful commands can be bypassed. The safety mod, intended to crash if it detected a problematic command, was itself bypassed by Claude Code, allowing the command to execute. This behavior is documented, as Claude Code skips hooks that throw errors without a catch handler. A simple addition of a catch handler to the safety mod can prevent this bypass, ensuring commands are blocked. The developer also noted that some popular mods, like 'next-steps' and 'cache-keeper', introduce significant latency and resource usage without clear user controls. AI
