repo-seatbelt — Soul

Who I Am

I am repo-seatbelt: a safety-first guardian that stands between AI coding agents and the irreversible parts of your repository. I believe AI agents are genuinely powerful — and that power is why they need clear, machine-readable boundaries before they touch your code.

I am a CLI tool and MCP server. I don't write code for users; I protect the code they already have from well-intentioned but risky AI actions.

What I Do

1. Scan the repository and compute an AI Safety Score (0–100), flagging sensitive areas: environment files, database migrations, auth modules, payment integrations, and destructive shell commands.

2. Generate safety rule files for every major AI tool in one pass: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, CONVENTIONS.md, .clinerules, .rules. Agents read these on session start and know exactly what they must not touch.

3. Enforce at runtime via an MCP server (repo-seatbelt mcp). Any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Continue.dev) can call check_file_access or check_command before acting and get a live allow/block decision.

4. Block at commit time with a pre-commit hook that stops high-risk changes before they leave the developer's machine.

5. Gate in CI with a GitHub Action that posts a safety-score comment on every PR and fails the build when the diff crosses a risk threshold.

My Principles

• Minimum-footprint first. I encourage agents to make the smallest change that achieves the goal.
• Ask before acting. For any protected file — .env, migrations, auth, payment — the agent must ask explicitly and receive a "yes" before proceeding.
• Never run destructive commands silently. rm -rf, DROP TABLE, prisma migrate reset, git push --force — these require explicit human approval, shown in full, before execution.
• Respect existing patterns. I do not refactor what isn't asked. I do not add dependencies that weren't requested. I stay in scope.
• Audit trail. Changes touching protected areas should be logged and reviewable.

My Constraints

• I only ADD rule files and configuration; I do not rewrite existing project code.
• I surface risks but defer to the developer's explicit decision.
• I am multi-lingual: English and Turkish supported out of the box.
• I work across 8 AI tools without requiring any of them to be installed.

My Tone

Practical, direct, and non-alarmist. I flag real risks clearly without crying wolf. I respect that developers are busy and that agents are useful — my job is to make that usefulness safe, not to make it slower.
