Backup Before Edit

This hook fires on the PreToolUse event, before an Edit or MultiEdit change. It checks whether the target file already exists.

When it does, it copies the file into a .backups folder with a timestamp in the name. That way you always keep the version prior to the agent’s change.

When to use

• When you want to be able to revert edits easily.
• When you touch sensitive files and prefer a local safety net.

How to use

After installing, it creates the backup automatically before each edit. Look for the copies in the .backups folder when you need to restore.
