## Post 1: Local Only Git Writes

🚨 Your AI agents are running without guardrails.

Blocks git writes when local-only mode is active, preventing accidental remote pushes during development.

The problem? AI agents run autonomously. A single unchecked operation—a force-push, an unapproved deploy, a dependency injection—can unwind days of work in seconds. Traditional CI won't catch it. Your human reviewer might miss it.

The solution? **Gate `local-only-git-writes`** in ThumbGate stops high-risk operations *before* they execute. No second chances. Just prevention.

This isn't about slowing down. It's about building trust in autonomous systems. Every gate is a rule learned from real failures.

🔒 Install ThumbGate today:
```bash
npx thumbgate@latest init
```

Then add this gate to your config and sleep better.

Warns when editing .env files—catches accidental token deletion.

Protects your workflow by style audit mode active. action recorded for review but allowed to proceed.

## Post 5: Loop Abuse Prevention

🔓 Git operations—unguarded by default.

Protects your workflow by high-risk command detected inside a loop. scheduled tasks must not perform egress or destructive writes without explicit approval.
