What it does
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. Solo builders 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 ship-phase 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.
