Fun! Played twice and refused all dangerous commands, with only one "over-block". Although I disagree that saying no to `kill $(lsof -t -i:3000)` is over-blocking. It's such a simple command I'd rather run it myself and be fully aware of what process I'm killing.

Pressed 1 for everything, no regrets

Interestingly I kept saying no to everything and some how I am a security conscious rare engineer who actually read the commands. Guess doing nothing is the safest approach from security standpoint.

Reminds me of the "Papers, please" game. Glory to Arstotzka!

Very fun. I can only imagine building this with Claude and testing needed a bit of mental concentration.

git reset --soft HEAD~1

Uh, how is this an overblock? It is literally a destructive command. No way I want an LLM agent rewriting my commit history. What if that commit was already pushed to a protected branch?

Why do you call it destructive? It rewrites history only locally and reversibly (the disappeared commit is still in reflog and can be recovered with another reset) and also doesn't destroy uncommitted changes, so it's quite safe. You can only lose data with it by resetting an unpushed commit and then waiting long enough to let the unreferenced commit be garbage collected.

Commit history is data. I might not realize what happened until the gc happens.

That was fun and gave me an idea how security conscious I am.

Sadly unplayable - gray text on a black background is very hard to read on a phone

To be realistic, 99% of the time it should be a totally innocuous command. If half of the commands are dangerous then you don't get fatigue because you're aware what you're doing is dangerous.

So are there 3 threats? 8? Is it a different game?

Does everyone get a "good" score even if they missed 5 threats?!

It's a game you play over one minute. They probably saw more prompts than you.
