Command Safety Checker: Guide

What it does

• Paste bash/zsh/PowerShell commands and detect risky execution patterns
• Flags destructive actions (delete/overwrite) and over-privileged runs (sudo/admin) with deterministic rules
• Shows a simple risk level: LOW / MED / HIGH (for reference)
• Provides a “safer steps” checklist automatically
• Runs locally in your browser (no server-side storage)

Use this when

• You’re about to run an AI-generated command and want a quick safety scan
• You want to spot rm -rf, sudo, risky redirects, etc.
• You need a last-minute check before running commands on a real machine

Keywords: command safety checker, dangerous shell command, rm -rf, sudo, powershell safety, ai command review

How to use

1. Open the tool
2. Paste the command(s) you plan to run (multi-line OK)
3. Read the risk level (LOW/MED/HIGH) and the findings
4. Review the safer steps checklist and re-check targets/paths/privileges

Tip: don’t start on production—test on a dummy folder/sandbox first.

Notes (limits)

• This tool does not guarantee safety (reference only).
• Rule-based checks can miss context-specific or environment-specific risks.
• Variables, pipes, redirects, privileges, and working directory can change outcomes.
• Static checks may miss environment-dependent or network-related risks.
• For important operations, use backups and least-privilege practices.
