    You need to use hooks to actually block it from doing things. CLAUDE.md files are just guidance, and it’s not guaranteed to follow everything (and the longer the file gets, the more likely it’ll ignore stuff - it should be kept as short as possible)

    https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks

    Hooks are code that runs at a certain point (eg after you submit a prompt, before a tool call, after a turn, etc) that can do some validation, verification, logging, etc.

    It does still try to work around the blocks though, but it’s not as bad as trying to put the restrictions in the prompt.

      Yep but the granularity of copilot is “allow once” vs “allow forever”. Gemini is much better: besides also having “allow for this session” it never tries to run python scripts it writes on the spot or command lines that are 4 lines long. And doesn’t double down when I say I won’t allow python at all.

      My setup shares the same agents and skills files for both cli tools.
