+# OptiKit CLI - Safety & Validation Features
+
+## Overview
+
+OptiKit now includes comprehensive safety and validation features to prevent data loss, ensure proper environment setup, and provide users with confidence when running potentially destructive operations.
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Pre-Flight Validation
+
+All commands now perform validation checks before executing to ensure the environment is properly configured.
+
+### Validation Types
+
+#### 1. Flutter Project Validation
+**Function:** `validateFlutterProject()`
+**Checks:**
+- `pubspec.yaml` exists in current directory
+- `pubspec.yaml` contains Flutter SDK reference
+
+**Used by:** All commands
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+❌ Not a Flutter project: pubspec.yaml not found.
+ℹ️  Please run this command from the root of a Flutter project.
+```
+
+#### 2. Flutter SDK Validation
+**Function:** `validateFlutterSdk(useFvm: boolean)`
+**Checks:**
+- If using FVM: `.fvm/flutter_sdk` directory exists and `fvm` command available
+- If not using FVM: global `flutter` command available
+
+**Used by:** build commands, clean commands
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+❌ FVM Flutter SDK not found at .fvm/flutter_sdk
+ℹ️  Run 'fvm install' or use --disable-fvm flag.
+
+OR
+
+❌ Flutter SDK not found.
+ℹ️  Install Flutter: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install
+```
+
+#### 3. iOS Project Validation
+**Function:** `validateIosProject()`
+**Checks:**
+- `ios/` directory exists
+- Either `Runner.xcodeproj` or `Runner.xcworkspace` exists
+
+**Used by:** iOS build commands, iOS clean command, open-ios command
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+❌ iOS project directory not found.
+ℹ️  Run 'flutter create .' to add iOS support.
+```
+
+#### 4. Android Project Validation
+**Function:** `validateAndroidProject()`
+**Checks:**
+- `android/` directory exists
+- Either `build.gradle` or `build.gradle.kts` exists
+
+**Used by:** Android build commands, open-android command
+
+**Error Messages:**
+```
+❌ Android project directory not found.
+ℹ️  Run 'flutter create .' to add Android support.
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💾 Automatic Backup System
+
+Critical files are automatically backed up before any destructive operations.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Backup Creation:** Files are copied to `.optikit-backup/` directory with timestamp
+2. **Location:** Backups stored in same directory as original file
+3. **Naming:** `filename_YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS-mmmZ.ext`
+4. **Retention:** Last 5 backups are kept (configurable)
+5. **Cleanup:** Old backups automatically removed
+
+### Backed Up Files
+
+| Command | Files Backed Up |
+|---------|----------------|
+| `clean-flutter` | `pubspec.lock` |
+| `flutter-update-version` | `pubspec.yaml`, `ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`, `ios/Runner/Info.plist` |
+
+### Example Backup Structure
+
+```
+your-flutter-project/
+├── pubspec.yaml
+├── .optikit-backup/
+│   ├── pubspec_2025-12-23T10-30-00-000Z.yaml
+│   ├── pubspec_2025-12-23T11-15-30-000Z.yaml
+│   └── pubspec_2025-12-23T12-45-10-000Z.yaml
+├── ios/
+│   ├── Runner.xcodeproj/
+│   │   ├── project.pbxproj
+│   │   └── .optikit-backup/
+│   │       └── project_2025-12-23T10-30-00-000Z.pbxproj
+│   └── Runner/
+│       ├── Info.plist
+│       └── .optikit-backup/
+│           └── Info_2025-12-23T10-30-00-000Z.plist
+```
+
+### Backup Functions
+
+#### Create Backup
+```typescript
+createBackup(filePath: string): string | null
+```
+- Creates timestamped backup of file
+- Returns backup path on success, null on failure
+- Automatically creates `.optikit-backup/` directory
+
+#### Restore Backup
+```typescript
+restoreBackup(originalPath: string, backupPath: string): boolean
+```
+- Copies backup file back to original location
+- Returns true on success, false on failure
+
+#### Cleanup Old Backups
+```typescript
+cleanupBackups(directory: string, keepCount: number = 5): void
+```
+- Removes old backups beyond keepCount
+- Keeps most recent backups
+- Called automatically (can be manual too)
+

+
+## ⚠️ Overwrite Warnings
+
+Commands that may overwrite existing data now display warnings.
+
+### Module Generation
+
+**Command:** `optikit generate module <moduleName>`
+
+**Warnings:**
+```
+⚠️  Module user_profile already exists at lib/module/user_profile
+ℹ️  Files will be overwritten...
+```
+
+Users are informed when modules will be overwritten, giving them a chance to cancel (Ctrl+C).
+
+### VSCode Settings
+
+**Command:** `optikit setup-vscode`
+
+**Messages:**
+```
+ℹ️  .vscode directory already exists.
+```
+
+Informs users when directories already exist before proceeding.

+[src/utils/validationHelpers.ts](src/utils/validationHelpers.ts)
+
+### Functions
+
+```typescript
+// Validates Flutter project structure
+validateFlutterProject(): boolean
+
+// Validates Flutter SDK availability
+validateFlutterSdk(useFvm: boolean = false): Promise<boolean>

+
+## 🎯 Command-Specific Safety Features
+
+### Build Commands
+**Validation:**
+- ✅ Flutter project exists
+- ✅ Flutter SDK available (FVM or global)
+- ✅ Platform project exists (iOS or Android)
+
+**No backups:** Build commands don't modify source files
+
+### Clean Commands
+**Validation:**
+- ✅ Flutter project exists
+- ✅ Flutter SDK available
+
+**Backups:**
+- `pubspec.lock` (before deletion)
+
+**Step-by-step logging:** Each operation logged individually for clarity
+
+### Version Update
+**Validation:**
+- ✅ Flutter project exists
+- ✅ Files exist before modification
+
+**Backups:**
+- `pubspec.yaml`
+- `ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`
+- `ios/Runner/Info.plist`
+
+### Module Generation
+**Validation:**
+- ✅ Module name format (lowercase, numbers, underscores only)
+- ✅ Module name not empty
+
+**Warnings:**
+- Module already exists (will overwrite)
+
+### Open Project Commands
+**Validation:**
+- ✅ Flutter project exists
+- ✅ Platform project exists (iOS or Android)

+## 📋 Error Handling Flow
+
+```
+1. Command invoked
+   ↓
+2. Pre-flight validation
+   ├─ ❌ Validation fails → Clear error message → Exit with code 1
+   └─ ✅ Validation passes
+      ↓
+3. Backup critical files (if destructive operation)
+   ├─ ❌ Backup fails → Warning logged → Continue (user decision)
+   └─ ✅ Backup succeeds
+      ↓
+4. Execute command
+   ├─ ❌ Command fails → Detailed error → Exit with code 1
+   └─ ✅ Command succeeds
+      ↓
+5. Success message → Exit with code 0
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Benefits
+
+### For Users
+1. **Confidence:** Know that files are backed up before changes
+2. **Clarity:** Clear error messages when something is missing
+3. **Safety:** Prevent accidental data loss
+4. **Recovery:** Easy restoration from backups if needed
+
+### For Developers
+1. **Reusable:** Validation and backup utilities can be used across commands
+2. **Consistent:** Same patterns applied everywhere
+3. **Maintainable:** Centralized validation logic
+4. **Testable:** Functions can be unit tested
+
+### For CI/CD
+1. **Fail Fast:** Invalid environments caught immediately
+2. **Clear Errors:** Detailed messages for debugging
+3. **Proper Exit Codes:** Scripts can handle failures correctly
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Best Practices
+
+### When Adding New Commands
+
+1. **Always validate** appropriate project structure
+2. **Backup files** before modifying them
+3. **Log each step** for better user feedback
+4. **Exit with code 1** on errors
+5. **Provide helpful** error messages with suggestions
+
+### For End Users
+
+1. **Review backups** in `.optikit-backup/` directories
+2. **Keep backups in .gitignore** (already configured)
+3. **Don't rely on backups** for critical data (use git!)
+4. **Report issues** if validation is too strict
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+Currently, configuration is hardcoded but can be made configurable in the future:
+
+- Backup retention count: 5 backups
+- Backup location: `.optikit-backup/` in same directory as original file
+- Timestamp format: ISO 8601 with special characters replaced
+
+---
+
+## 📌 Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for safety features:
+
+1. **Interactive Prompts:** Ask user confirmation before destructive operations
+2. **Dry-run Mode:** Preview changes without executing
+3. **Backup Compression:** Compress old backups to save space
+4. **Backup Export:** Export all backups to external location
+5. **Rollback Command:** Easy command to restore from last backup
+6. **Config File:** User-configurable safety settings
+7. **Backup Metadata:** Track what command created each backup
+8. **Smart Cleanup:** Clean backups based on age and importance
