A Safeguard CLI session is live: it shows in the desktop and phone apps, where you read it, follow up and approve work on your computer. Here is how.
Use Plan to explore, Ask for unfamiliar work, Accept edits for refactors, Auto for daily fixes and Strict in CI. Keep the yolo flag for sandboxes.
Use safeguard exec for unattended checks: a pre-push hook, a nightly report sent to your phone, and a PR summary, with scans deciding pass or fail.
Type @ in the Safeguard CLI to pick a file from the folder you started in and attach it to your message, so the assistant reads exactly the file you mean.
Send work from the Safeguard phone app to a computer running the CLI, then answer each command with Allow once, Allow for turn or Deny before it runs.
