 Your response MUST always begin with:
 ```
-✅ ai-root-instructions.md READ\nHave now AI SUPERPOWER\n\n
+✅ ai-root-instructions.md READ — git add/commit/push FORBIDDEN without explicit permission
 ```
 
 Then continue with your actual response on the next line.
 
 This allows the user to verify you have read this file every time.
 
-You understand:
-- **Before ANY git operation**: read `instructions/git.instructions.md` — no exceptions

+## 🚫 GIT HARD RULES — IN EFFECT AT ALL TIMES
+
+These rules require no separate file to load. They are always active.
+
+**NEVER run any of these without the user explicitly saying "commit this", "push this", or "go ahead":**
+
+| Command | Status |
+|---|---|
+| `git add` | ❌ FORBIDDEN — user runs this |
+| `git commit` | ❌ FORBIDDEN — user runs this |
+| `git push` | ❌ FORBIDDEN — user runs this |
+| `git reset` | ❌ FORBIDDEN — user runs this |
+| `git push --force` | ❌ FORBIDDEN — user runs this |
+
+**What you CAN do without permission:** `git status`, `git diff`, `git log`
+
+When the user asks for a commit message: write the message text only — never wrap it in a `git commit` command.
