The free Claude Code Safety Checklist
Never lose your work to Claude Code again. The 2-minute safety setup that stops almost every "Claude deleted my work" story. Free. One email, the checklist, done.
"Claude deleted my work." Never be that story.
One wrong command can wipe hours of work, with no undo. This is the 2-minute safety setup I run on every machine I let Claude Code touch, before it starts. Drop your email at the bottom and the checklist lands in your inbox.
What's inside
Three habits that stop almost every "Claude deleted my work" story before it starts:
- The one setting that gives you an undo button before Claude touches a single file.
- A safety net under the files git never sees, the ones
/rewindcan't bring back. - The 10-minute, mostly-free setup I run on every machine: plain steps, no jargon.
Plain steps, no jargon. Set up in about 10 minutes, most of it free.
What's the catch?
- Free: most of it is built into tools you already have.
- One email, the checklist, done: no spam, unsubscribe anytime.
- Written from real "Claude deleted my work" reports.
P.S. Want the automatic version?
The checklist is the free, do-it-yourself net, and for most people it's enough. But there's one gap it can't fully close on its own: the uncommitted file, the gitignored .env, the folder you made twenty minutes ago. Git never had a copy, and /rewind can't bring deleted files back.
If you'd rather not think about it, Undeletable closes that gap for you. It quietly saves a copy of everything before Claude touches anything, so when a command goes wrong you just type /restore and it's back. $19, one-time, money-back if it doesn't save you. No account, runs on your machine.
Totally optional. The free checklist above is the main event. This is just the version that runs itself.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Claude Code Safety Checklist really free?
- Yes, most of it is built into tools you already have. It's one email, the checklist, done. No spam, no account, unsubscribe anytime.
- How long does the safety setup take?
- About 10 minutes, most of it free. The steps are plain, no jargon, and they're the same ones I run on every machine I let Claude Code touch.
- Doesn't Claude's /rewind already protect me?
- No. /rewind tracks Claude's edits, not the files it deletes through the shell, and it can't bring back the gitignored files git never saw. The checklist puts a real safety net under those files before Claude touches anything.
