Remove block-commands skill

Overview

The

block-commands

skill documents how to use

.claude/settings.json

deny rules to block dangerous commands. However,

.claude/settings.json

is a repository-local file that is not distributed with plugins. Users installing the plugin would not get these deny rules, making this approach ineffective for a marketplace plugin.

The skill should be removed since it documents a pattern we no longer recommend for plugin distribution.

Related History

The block-commands skill was created alongside moving git prohibitions to settings.json, but this approach has proven unsuitable for distributed plugins.

Past tickets that touched similar areas:

• 20260127094857-use-deny-for-git-prohibition.md

  - Created block-commands skill and moved git -C prohibition to settings.json (same file)

Implementation Steps

1. Delete block-commands skill directory:

   • Remove

     plugins/core/skills/block-commands/

     entirely

2. Verify no references exist:

   • Confirm no other files reference

     block-commands

     skill

Considerations

• This removes documentation only, not actual functionality
• The

  .claude/settings.json

  deny rules remain in local repositories but are not part of plugin distribution
• For plugin-based command blocking, bundled shell scripts that refuse to execute are more appropriate (as done with archive-ticket)

Final Report

Deleted the block-commands skill directory. Verified that no other plugin files reference this skill. Documentation in .workaholic/specs/ and .workaholic/terms/ will be updated automatically by the documentation agents when /report runs.
