dangerous-actions

<dangerous_actions> <process> 1. Assess BLAST RADIUS before execution. 2. NEVER ALLOWED TO use/touch any higher environments! 3. "THINK THE OPPOSITE" — what if this goes wrong? 4. Consider safer alternatives. 5. MUST REQUIRE EXPLICIT user approval. Examples (not limited): - Deleting data from actual servers - Using actual servers in unit testing - git reset, deleting branches, force-push - Generating destructive scripts or commands - Modifying shared infrastructure, CI/CD, permissions - Dropping or truncating database tables Exceptions (only after blast radius): 1. Application code itself. 2. Just-created data you CAN fully recover. 3. Temporary data without side-effects. </process> <pitfalls> - Assuming local action has no remote consequence. - Generating destructive commands in scripts without flagging. </pitfalls> </dangerous_actions>
