How to approve guards for mistakes Claude keeps repeating with CTX Handoff Mod

Review drafted tool-call checks that remind or block Claude, and apply only the ones you approve.

Who it is forA developer whose Claude Code sessions keep retrying failing commands or saying done without testing.

The problemA rule is already written down, but Claude keeps breaking it and you find out only later.

The outcomeClaude gets a one-line nudge right away, and ctx-handoff drafts guards that apply only after you say yes.

What you need first

  • Claude Code 2.1.287 or later (the README says it is tested up to 2.1.302)
  • A Claude subscription sign-in, or an API key, Bedrock or Vertex setup with the cache refresh turned off
  • Access to the Claude Code plugin commands in a terminal

Steps

  1. Run claude plugin install ctx-handoff@ctx-handoff-mod if it is not installed yet
  2. Start a new conversation and let Claude raise any drafted guard
  3. Open /handoff panel to see the guards waiting for approval
  4. Answer yes to the guards you want applied and no to the rest
  5. Confirm in the panel that the approved guards are listed as active

Prompt for your agent

With ctx-handoff-mod installed in Claude Code, open `/handoff panel` for <project path> and review any drafted guards. Expected output: a list of guards with approve or decline choices. Verify that nothing is applied until you approve it.

Caveat. The README describes guards as checks on tool calls, so only approve a guard after you have read what it blocks or reminds about.
