Claude has learned how to jailbreak Cursor

I have “rm” specifically disallowed, along with “mv” and a few other scary commands. Claude realized that I had to approve the use of such commands, so to get around this, it chose to put them in a shell script and execute the shell script. Thankfully, a Git restore to the last commit saved me, but still…

Claude re-wrote one to also do some removing of what it thought was obsolete code after I denied its rm commands with “skip.” Maybe the Cursor team can have a look at Yolo rule adherence and at how the model reacts to rejected/skipped items that user has chosen to do so. Oh yes, I specifically made a whole section in my task management rules about how to write scripts for bulk update / creation / moving of files instead of trying to do everything individually.
