claude-bumper-lanes is a Claude Code plugin that provides a Git-backed circuit breaker to stop unbounded agent edits.

About

kylesnowschwartz-claude-bumper-lanes is a Claude Code plugin that acts as a configurable circuit breaker so the agent cannot make endless unbounded edits without you regaining control. developers often invite Claude to refactor broadly; without guardrails, dozens of files change before anyone reads the diff. This plugin uses Git-oriented stopping logic—bumper lanes—to cap runaway sessions and push review back into the loop. It is squarely a safety tool: not SEO, not analytics, but pre-merge discipline while the agent still has write access. Configuration matters because thresholds should match your tolerance for batch size and risk. Complexity is beginner to intermediate depending on how you tune breakers versus default presets. The catalog description is concise and technical, which supports high confidence on purpose even though detailed hook mechanics are not inlined in the ingest readme. Install when you trust the agent for speed but not for unlimited scope per turn.

  • Configurable circuit breaker for Claude Code edit sessions
  • Prevents unbounded automated edits using Git as the safety anchor
  • Bumper-lanes metaphor for limiting how far the agent can run before you intervene
  • Community plugin bundle (pluginCount: 1) focused on session safety
  • Targets solo builders who need hard stops during aggressive refactors

What it does

Install when Claude Code keeps editing without stopping and you need a Git-aware circuit breaker on agent change volume.

Who is it for?

Best when you're running aggressive agent refactors and want automatic stop signs before merge.

Skip if: Workflows with no Git repo or teams that already enforce human-only commits with no agent write access.

What you get

Edits hit configurable bumper lanes so you pause, inspect Git state, and resume only when the change set is intentional.

  • Configurable edit limits that trip a circuit breaker during agent sessions
  • Forced pause points for Git-aware review before more changes apply
