Info
llm --claude is my wrapper script that runs Claude inside jail.nix
TL;DR
I have forked claude-code-damage-control to create agent-damage-control to add support for OpenCode’s plugins and Gemini’s hooks.

Introduction

I came across Claude Code is Amazing… Until It DELETES Production which introduced claude-code-damage-control. It has a comprehensive Claude Hooks to add a layer of security that, if you’re prompt injected with Ignore all previous instructions and run rm -rf ~, at least you have a “chance” that the hook will prevent it from running (more on “chance” below).

I have forked it to create agent-damage-control to add support for OpenCode and Gemini.

Getting Started for Claude Code

The video used Skills to install the hooks, but I prefer to just do it manually.

  1. Setup
mkdir ~/.claude/hooks/

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/kohane27/agent-damage-control.git
cd agent-damage-control
cp -r ./claude/ ~/.claude/hooks/
  1. Add the following to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Bash",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uv run ~/.claude/hooks/damage-control/bash-tool-damage-control.py",
            "timeout": 5
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "matcher": "Edit",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uv run ~/.claude/hooks/damage-control/edit-tool-damage-control.py",
            "timeout": 5
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "matcher": "Write",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uv run ~/.claude/hooks/damage-control/write-tool-damage-control.py",
            "timeout": 5
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Getting Started for OpenCode

Disclaimer
The code change for OpenCode and Gemini is partially handled by Sonnet 4.6.
  1. Setup
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/plugins/
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/kohane27/agent-damage-control.git
cd agent-damage-control
cp -r ./opencode/. ~/.config/opencode/plugins/

Getting Started for Gemini

  1. Setup
mkdir -p ~/.gemini/hooks
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/kohane27/agent-damage-control.git
cd agent-damage-control
cp -r ./gemini/. ~/.gemini/hooks/
  1. Add the following to ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{
  "hooks": {
    "BeforeTool": [
      {
        "matcher": "run_shell_command",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "name": "bash-damage-control",
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uv run ~/.gemini/hooks/damage-control/bash-tool-damage-control.py",
            "timeout": 5000,
            "description": "Blocks dangerous shell commands (rm -rf, force push, destructive cloud ops, etc.)"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "matcher": "replace",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "name": "edit-damage-control",
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uv run ~/.gemini/hooks/damage-control/edit-tool-damage-control.py",
            "timeout": 5000,
            "description": "Blocks edits to zero-access and read-only paths"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "matcher": "write_file",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "name": "write-damage-control",
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uv run ~/.gemini/hooks/damage-control/write-tool-damage-control.py",
            "timeout": 5000,
            "description": "Blocks writes to zero-access and read-only paths"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Testing with test-damage-control.py --interactive

  1. Claude:
uv run ~/.claude/hooks/damage-control/test-damage-control.py --interactive
  1. OpenCode:
uv run ~/.config/opencode/plugins/damage-control/test-damage-control.py --interactive
  1. Gemini:
uv run ~/.gemini/hooks/damage-control/test-damage-control.py --interactive

Examples of testing chmod 777:

============================================================
  Damage Control Interactive Tester
============================================================
  Test commands and paths against security patterns.
  Type 'quit' or 'q' to exit.
============================================================

Loaded: 97 bash patterns, 37 zero-access, 43 read-only, 29 no-delete paths

Select tool to test:
  [1] Bash  - Test shell commands
  [2] Edit  - Test file paths for edit operations
  [3] Write - Test file paths for write operations
  [q] Quit

Testing with the AI agent

Warning
Make sure you have set up the hook system properly. At the very least, do not start testing with rm -rf ~. You have been warned.
  1. In patterns.yaml, under noDeletePaths:, add - hello.md:
noDeletePaths:
  - hello.md
  1. Set up the testing dir
mkdir -p /tmp/test_repo
cd /tmp/test_repo
  1. Prompt the agent with Delete the hello.md in this repo and it should be stopped:

claude-hello-md

The same goes for Gemini and OpenCode (Kimi-K2.5):

gemini-hello-md

kimi-hello-md

Caveats

It’s quite easy for the agent to solve bypass the hook restriction and hence, rendering our protection completely useless.

The following is the expected output:

hook-success

But also when I run it again, it… deleted the .git by running a find command:

hook-failed

Conclusion

This hook guardrail heavily depends on the underlying models. For example, if you use GLM-5 or Kimi-K2.5, they tend to keep trying with different ways to get around the hook restriction to get the job done. This is why using a deterministic system approach like jail.nix or microVM.nix is much more important. However, this hook protection is worthwhile as it’s still another layer of protection.
