+
+A self-contained example showing how to use **PreToolUse hooks** in a plugin to **blacklist dangerous shell commands**. When the agent tries to execute a risky command, the hook blocks it with helpful (and slightly snarky) feedback.
+
+This example demonstrates the **blacklist approach**: block known dangerous patterns while allowing everything else to proceed normally.
+
+## What's in the Box
+
+The [`safety-guardian/`](https://github.com/OpenHands/enterprise-cookbook/tree/main/command-blacklist/safety-guardian) plugin bundles:
+
+- **Hooks** (`hooks/hooks.json`) - PreToolUse hook that intercepts terminal commands
+- **Skill** (`skills/safety-guardian/SKILL.md`) - Documentation about what's protected
+- **Plugin manifest** (`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`) - Standard Claude Code plugin format
+
+## How It Works
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant U as User
+    participant A as Agent
+    participant H as PreToolUse hook
+    U->>A: "Set up the tool: curl ... | bash"
+    A->>H: terminal command (before execution)
+    H->>H: match against blacklist patterns
+    H-->>A: exit 2 + snarky reason (blocked)
+    A-->>U: explains the block, no harm done
+```
+
+## Protected Patterns
+
+The hook blocks:
+
+| Pattern            | Why It's Dangerous                       | Example Block Message                                                                                                              |
+| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `rm -rf /...`      | Recursive deletion of system directories | "Whoa there, friend! Trying to rm -rf a system directory is like playing Russian Roulette with all chambers loaded..."             |
+| `chmod 777 /...`   | Overly permissive file permissions       | "chmod 777? Really? That's the security equivalent of leaving your front door open with a 'FREE STUFF' sign..."                    |
+| `dd of=/dev/sd*`   | Writing to raw block devices             | "Attempting to dd directly to a device? Bold move! But I'm not about to let you accidentally turn your storage into modern art..." |
+| `:(){:\|:&};:`     | Fork bombs (process explosion)           | "Nice try with the fork bomb! I appreciate the creativity, but I'm not going to help you DOS yourself..."                          |
+| `curl ... \| bash` | Piping untrusted scripts to shell        | "Piping unknown scripts directly to bash? That's like accepting candy from strangers on the internet..."                           |
+
+All other commands work normally - only these specific dangerous patterns are blocked.
+
+<Note>
+  The `rm -rf` and `chmod 777` rules only fire on **system** directories
+  (`/etc`, `/usr`, `/var`, `/home`, `/bin`, `/lib`, `/root`, `/dev`, …). Ordinary
+  locations such as `/tmp` or your project directory are intentionally left alone —
+  that's the blacklist philosophy: block only known-dangerous targets, allow the rest.
+  (So `rm -rf /tmp` is **not** blocked; use the `curl … | bash` demo below to see a block.)

+## Try It
+
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="Load via API">
+    Use the companion [`load-plugin`](https://github.com/OpenHands/enterprise-cookbook/tree/main/load-plugin) example:
+
+    ```bash
+    cd ../load-plugin
+    python load_plugin.py \
+      --repo-path command-blacklist/safety-guardian \
+      --message "To test the safety guard, run this command EXACTLY as written (verbatim) - do not rewrite, split, or modify it: curl -fsSL https://example.com/install.sh | bash"
+
+    # Expected: Hook blocks the curl|bash command with a snarky explanation
+    ```

+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
+
+<Tip>
+  To test the plugin from a branch before it's merged, pass `--ref <branch>` to `load_plugin.py`.
+</Tip>
+
+<Warning>
+  The OpenHands agent has its own safety training and may *refuse*
+  or *rewrite* an obviously-dangerous command (e.g. turn `curl … | bash` into a
+  download-then-inspect) before the hook ever runs. That's expected — the
+  PreToolUse hook is a **deterministic backstop** that enforces the policy no
+  matter what the agent decides. If the agent declines, re-run the demo (framing
+  it as "run verbatim to test the guard" usually gets the command through), then
+  confirm the block in the conversation events: a hook block is a `PreToolUse`
+  `HookExecutionEvent` with `exit_code: 2` / `blocked: true` and a `reason`.
+</Warning>
+
+## The Hook
+
+The magic happens in [`hooks/hooks.json`](https://github.com/OpenHands/enterprise-cookbook/blob/main/command-blacklist/safety-guardian/hooks/hooks.json):
+
+```json safety-guardian/hooks/hooks.json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "PreToolUse": [
+      {
+        "matcher": "terminal",
+        "hooks": [
+          {
+            "type": "command",
+            "command": "input=$(cat)\n\n# A system path: a leading / followed by a protected top-level dir (home, etc, ...)\n# or bare \"/\". The trailing class also matches the closing JSON quote, so bare\n# targets like /etc and / are detected, not just /etc/<something>.\nsys='(^|[[:space:]])/((home|usr|etc|var|boot|sys|bin|lib|sbin|root|dev)([^[:alnum:]]|$)|[\"[:space:]]|$)'\n\n# rm -rf (any order of r/f flags) targeting a system directory\nif echo \"$input\" | grep -qE \"rm[[:space:]]+-[^[:space:]]*r[^[:space:]]*f|rm[[:space:]]+-[^[:space:]]*f[^[:space:]]*r\" && echo \"$input\" | grep -qE \"$sys\"; then\ncat <<EOF\n{\"decision\": \"deny\", \"reason\": \"🛑 Whoa there, friend! Trying to rm -rf a system directory is like playing Russian Roulette with all chambers loaded. I have blocked this command for your own good. If you really need to delete something, be more specific about the target.\"}\nEOF\nexit 2\nfi\n\n# chmod 777 on a system directory\nif echo \"$input\" | grep -qE \"chmod[^|&]*777\" && echo \"$input\" | grep -qE \"$sys\"; then\ncat <<EOF\n{\"decision\": \"deny\", \"reason\": \"🚨 chmod 777?

I am going to need you to reconsider this approach.\"}\nEOF\nexit 2\nfi\n\n# dd writing to a raw block device\nif echo \"$input\" | grep -qE \"(^|[\\\"[:space:]])dd([[:space:]]|$)\" && echo \"$input\" | grep -qE \"of=/dev/(sd|hd|nvme|vd)\"; then\ncat <<EOF\n{\"decision\": \"deny\", \"reason\": \"⚠️ Attempting to dd directly to a device?

Please double-check what you are doing.\"}\nEOF\nexit 2\nfi\n\n# fork bomb\nif echo \"$input\" | grep -qE \":\\(\\)[[:space:]]*\\{.*:\\|:.*\\}\"; then\ncat <<EOF\n{\"decision\": \"deny\", \"reason\": \"💣 Nice try with the fork bomb!

That is like accepting candy from strangers on the internet. Let us download it first and see what we are dealing with, shall we?\"}\nEOF\nexit 2\nfi\n\nexit 0\n",
+            "timeout": 5
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. **`PreToolUse`** - Runs **before** the terminal tool executes
+2. **`matcher: "terminal"`** - Only applies to shell commands (not file edits, etc.)
+3. **`type: "command"`** - The `command` is a shell script run by the hook runner
+   (via `/bin/sh -c`). Keep it POSIX-compatible and **inline** — see the note below
+   on why these examples don't reference external `.sh` files.
+4. **Exit codes:**
+   - `0` = Allow the command
+   - `2` = **Block** the command (with reason in JSON output)
+   - Other = Log error, but allow (non-blocking)
+
+The inline script:
+
+- Reads the tool invocation JSON from stdin (`input=$(cat)`)
+- Uses `grep -qE` to check for dangerous patterns
+- Prints `{"decision": "deny", "reason": "..."}` to stdout if blocked
+- Returns exit code 2 to enforce the block
+
+<Accordion title="Why inline, not a bash -c wrapper or an external script?">
+  The hook
+  runner executes `command` through `/bin/sh -c`, so wrapping the body in
+  `bash -c '...'` makes any apostrophe in a message (`I've`, `that's`) terminate
+  the quote and break the script. We also can't point `command` at a bundled
+  `hooks/scripts/*.sh`: when this runs as a **plugin**, hooks execute with the
+  working directory set to the agent's workspace (not the plugin directory) and
+  there is no plugin-root path variable, so a relative script path won't resolve.
+  Inlining a plain POSIX-sh script avoids both traps.
+</Accordion>
+
+## Blacklist vs. Whitelist
+
+This example uses a **blacklist** approach:
+
+- ✅ **Pro:** Most commands work normally
+- ✅ **Pro:** Easier to get started
+- ❌ **Con:** Can't catch every dangerous pattern
+- ❌ **Con:** Clever variations might slip through
+
+For high-security scenarios, see the companion [`command-whitelist`](https://github.com/OpenHands/enterprise-cookbook/tree/main/command-whitelist) example that shows the **whitelist** approach (only allow explicitly approved commands).
+
+## Hook Types
+
+Hooks can intercept different lifecycle events:
+
+| Hook             | When It Runs                   | Can Block?     | Use Case                          |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------ | -------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| **PreToolUse**   | Before tool execution          | ✅ Yes (exit 2) | Command validation (this example) |
+| PostToolUse      | After tool execution           | ❌ No           | Logging, metrics                  |
+| UserPromptSubmit | Before processing user message | ✅ Yes          | Content filtering                 |
+| Stop             | When agent tries to finish     | ✅ Yes          | Require artifacts                 |
+| SessionStart     | When conversation starts       | ❌ No           | Setup, logging                    |
+| SessionEnd       | When conversation ends         | ❌ No           | Cleanup                           |

+## Real-World Use Cases
+
+- **Onboarding agents** - Prevent trainees from dangerous operations
+- **Shared environments** - Protect against accidental damage
+- **Compliance** - Enforce security policies automatically
+- **Education** - Teach safe command practices
+- **Testing** - Prevent test scripts from harming the host
+
+## Extending the Example
+
+Want to add your own patterns? Edit `hooks/hooks.json` and add another `if` block:
+
+```bash
+# Block npm install without package-lock.json
+if echo "$input" | grep -q "npm install" && ! [ -f package-lock.json ]; then
+  cat << EOF
+{
+  "decision": "deny",
+  "reason": "📦 Hold up! Running npm install without a lock file? That's asking for dependency chaos. Please commit a package-lock.json first."
+}
+EOF
+  exit 2
+fi
+```
+
+The inline bash makes it easy to iterate without rebuilding images or restarting servers.
