name: dangerous-actions
description: "MUST activate when action OR its consequence is potentially dangerous/irreversible/destructive, or HIGH RISK, or environment is stage, pre-prod, prod, or blast radius."

<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.
