README

Excerpt

Config location: .workflow/config.json → guard section

{
  "guard": {
    "enabled": false,
    "mode": "allow",
    "paths": []
  }
}

Enforcement: The workflow-guard hook (PreToolUse on Write/Edit) reads this config and blocks operations targeting files outside boundaries. Requires hooks level >= full.

Output boundary: ALL file writes MUST target .workflow/config.json (guard section) only. NEVER modify hook files, .claude/settings.json, or source code.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
