AI-generated terminal commands can sometimes be destructive if run without review. Developers need a way to preview potential impacts.

Create a tool that intercepts AI-suggested commands, analyzes their potential effects, and displays a safety summary before execution.

Individual developers would pay for personal licenses, while teams might purchase for shared security.

MVP would focus on common dangerous patterns like file deletions. Expand to more complex scenarios later.

Risk: Terminal integration could be technically challenging across different shells.
