An assistant can draft small helpers in Python, shell, Tcl or Make, but every generated line runs with the user's own permissions. This topic shows how to review each draft, preview it with a dry run, and try it on a copy first.
Safeguard | What it catches |
|---|---|
Review | Destructive commands, wrong paths and over-wide globs. |
Dry run | The exact files a step would touch, without touching them. |
Copy trial | Real effects on disposable data before live data is at stake. |
Pattern checker | Repeat occurrences of known risky spellings. |
Lesson | What it covers |
|---|---|
Destructive commands, paths, globs and a first review pass. | |
Rerunnable steps, preview flags and rerun arithmetic. | |
Copy trials, small fixtures and result comparison. | |
A runnable checker for risky shell patterns and its limits. |
The listing shows names, not effects. A copy trial shows what the script changes before live files are at stake.
