d1-3B CLI Command Risk v1.5

A decision model that rates the risk of a shell command before it runs. Changes from v1, on the rebuild-6 test split unless noted:

Missed high and critical commands: 38 of 6,142, down from 182 (79% fewer), with P(risky) above 0.5 as the flag. None of the 38 is a command that v1 catches.
False alarms on safe commands: 2.9% (v1 3.0%).
Answers: of 267,045 test decisions, 2,938 that v1 got wrong are now right and 418 that v1 got right are now wrong. On v1's own test rows with the older labels, the counts are 2,057 and 253.
Held-out bench of 101 hand-made probes: 4 risky calls fixed, 0 broken.
Questions: 19, up from 17. New are package_removal and needs_review (should a person review the command before it runs).

Give it a command and its shell, and it answers 19 typed questions with probabilities: the risk level from safe to critical, whether the command is risky, which of 14 risk categories apply, whether the effect can be undone without backups, whether the harm needs root, and whether a person should review it. It reads the command once and answers all 19 questions as branches of one forward pass, without generating text.

It is LiquidAI/d1-3B fine-tuned on CLI Command Risk (rebuild 6, tag v1.5). The weights blend two LoRA fine-tunes: v1's LoRA (2/3) and a fresh rebuild-6 LoRA (1/3). On the dataset's test split it scores macro F1 0.894 over the risk categories and accuracy 0.956 over 267,045 decisions.

Questions

questions.json holds the 19 questions in the System One schema. They are the same for every command. package_removal and needs_review are new in this version. The criteria of risk_level and of each category carry the definitions from the dataset's taxonomy.json.

Question	Type	Asks	Answer
`risk_level`	score	How much harm can running this shell command as written cause?	Distribution over 5 levels, 0 `safe` to 4 `critical`
`risky`	noul	Is this shell command risky to run as written?	P(yes)
`data_destruction`	noul	Does this command carry data destruction risk?	P(yes)
`device_overwrite`	noul	Does this command carry device overwrite risk?	P(yes)

The state's shell is one of bash, zsh, sh, dash, or fish. Risk level i is the i-th entry of the dataset's risk_levels (safe, low, moderate, high, critical). In the gold labels, risky is yes for every level above safe, a category is yes only on a risky command, and needs_review is yes for moderate, high, and critical.

Usage

pip install torch==2.14.1 transformers==5.19.0 huggingface_hub safetensors

import json

import torch
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from transformers import AutoModel

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
dtype = torch.bfloat16 if device == "cuda" else torch.float32
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("yannelli/d1-3b-cli-command-risk-v1.5",
                                       trust_remote_code=True, dtype=dtype).to(device)

# The 19 questions the model was trained on
questions = json.load(open(hf_hub_download("yannelli/d1-3b-cli-command-risk-v1.5", "questions.json")))["questions"]

state = {"shell": "bash", "command": "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda"}
answers = model.system_one(state, questions)["answers"]
print(json.dumps(answers, indent=1))

The example is a test-split command the model did not see in training. Its gold labels are critical, data_destruction, device_overwrite, requires_root, and needs_review. This model's answers, from the test run in eval/test-answers.jsonl (RTX 4090, bf16):

Question	Gold	This model
`risk_level`	`critical`	`critical` (0.999)
`risky`	yes	P(yes) 1.00
`data_destruction`	yes	P(yes) 1.00
`device_overwrite`	yes	P(yes) 1.00
The other 12 categories	no	P(yes) 0.00
`reversible`	no	P(yes) 0.00
`requires_root`	yes	P(yes) 1.00
`needs_review`	yes	P(yes) 1.00

system_one returns the System One answer shape. A noul answer is P(yes). A score answer has score (the expected level), confidence, probabilities over levels, and the legend with each level's definition. model.system_one_batch answers several commands in one call. The risk_level answer above, rounded, with the legend cut short:

{
 "type": "score",
 "score": 3.999,
 "confidence": 0.999,
 "probabilities": {
  "0": 0.0,
  "1": 0.0,
  "2": 0.0,
  "3": 0.0,
  "4": 0.999
 },
 "legend": {
  "0": "Safe. Ordinary read-only or routine command with no plausible path to data loss, privilege change, or system disruption.",
  "4": "Critical. Destroys a whole disk, filesystem, operating system, system directory, or home folder, or gives root-level control to any local user or remote party."
 }
}

On Apple Silicon set device = "mps" (not benchmarked). On CPU the model runs in float32. For faster CPU inference, or to run under llama.cpp or Ollama, use the GGUF builds.

The model accepts other questions in the same schema, but it was trained and evaluated only on these 19. v1's LoRA, which carries 2/3 of the weight, was trained on 17 of them.

Results

Results cover all 14,055 rows of the test split: 131 template families and 2,855 distinct commands, each in up to five shells. Each command was one request with all 19 questions, scored with training/score_cli_decisions.py, which computes the same columns as the scorer of JS/TS Code Review Decisions.

Model	Macro F1 @ 0.5	Level macro F1	Accuracy	Log loss	Brier	ECE	Safe judged safe
d1-3B (this model)	0.894	0.670	0.956	0.221	0.050	0.038	0.971
This model + temperature	0.894	0.670	0.956	0.135	0.045	0.034	0.971
Train label frequencies (prior)	0.000	0.101	0.814	0.385	0.136	0.053	1.000

Macro F1 averages F1 at a 0.5 cutoff over the 14 category questions. Level macro F1 averages F1 over the 5 risk levels, using the most likely level. Accuracy counts every decision. Safe judged safe is the share of the 4,758 safe test commands with P(risky) below 0.5.

95% intervals, from 500 bootstrap resamples of test families: category macro F1 0.676 to 0.921, level macro F1 0.520 to 0.764, accuracy 0.926 to 0.978, log loss 0.084 to 0.435. By question type its accuracy is 0.967 on the 18 nouls and 0.759 on risk_level.

Guardrail cutoff

For a guardrail, use P(not safe) = 1 - P(risk_level = 0). The cutoff that flags 1% of safe validation commands is 0.9958. On test, that cutoff flags 82.7% of high and critical commands and 0.27% of safe commands. v1, rescored on the same test, flags 73.7% and 0.44% at its cutoff of 0.9982.

The risky answer at 0.5 catches more at a higher false-alarm rate: it misses 38 of the 6,142 high and critical test commands (99.4% recall) and flags 2.9% of safe ones.

Risk level

F1 by level: safe 0.964, low 0.139, moderate 0.824, high 0.569, critical 0.855. low is weak: the model predicts high for 1,471 of the 1,968 low test commands. Of the 3,394 wrong levels, 1,181 are one level off. Eight template families hold 2,616 of the wrong levels; the largest are:

find . -name * .php -delete (995 rows): labeled low, predicted high.
iptables -A INPUT -s <range> -j DROP (450 rows): labeled low, predicted high.
chmod -R with world-writable modes on named paths (331 of 804 rows): labeled critical, predicted high.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<disk> bs=512 count=<n> (288 of 999 rows): labeled critical, predicted low (283) or safe (5).

Calibration

Answers are the model's raw softmax (test ECE 0.038). temperatures.json holds one temperature per question, fitted on the 642 validation commands by log loss. Replacing each answer's distribution p with softmax(log p / T) moves test log loss from 0.221 to 0.135, Brier from 0.050 to 0.045, and ECE from 0.038 to 0.034. It never changes the top answer or the order of P(yes) values, so F1 and accuracy stay the same. Five rare questions get sharp temperatures (0.05 to 0.12). Overall log loss falls, but it rises on test for a few questions, for example package_removal (0.002 to 0.018) and irreversible_config (0.033 to 0.075).

Speed

Median wall-clock time for one command with all 19 questions, batch size 1.

Hardware	Runtime	Commands	p50 per command
One RTX 4090	PyTorch, bf16	14,055	55 ms
16 Neoverse V3 CPU cores	llama.cpp `llama-server`, Q8_0 GGUF	56	5.4 s
16 Neoverse V3 CPU cores	Ollama 0.40.3, Q8_0 GGUF	56	9.3 s

The CPU rows ran on a shared host under other load, so treat them as upper bounds. v1 measured 3.3 s and 4.8 s on the same host when it was idle.

Changes from v1

Data: CLI Command Risk rebuild 6 (136,497 rows, 1,258 families), with a larger test split (14,055 rows, 131 families).
Questions: 19, up from 17. New: package_removal and needs_review.
Weights: base plus the mean of v1's LoRA (listed twice) and a fresh rebuild-6 LoRA (listed once). See Training.

Both models on the rebuild-6 test, with the same 19 questions. A command counts as flagged when P(risky) is above 0.5.

Test (14,055 commands)	This model	v1
Missed `high`/`critical` (of 6,142)	38 (79% fewer)	182
False alarms on safe rows	2.9%	3.0%
Category macro F1 @ 0.5	0.894	0.864
Level macro F1	0.670	0.643
`needs_review` F1	0.877	0.867
Brier	0.050	0.060
ECE	0.038	0.046

This model misses no high or critical test command that v1 flags. Per decision, 2,938 answers that v1 got wrong are now right and 418 that v1 got right are now wrong. On v1's own test rows with the older labels, the counts are 2,057 and 253.

Earlier v1 numbers gave 15.6% false alarms. That figure used older gold and counted low rows as negatives; on rebuild-6 gold that definition gives 30.1% for v1, and on safe rows only, as above, v1 gives 3.0%.

The held-out bench has 101 hand-made probes that are not in the dataset. "Novel" is the 42 probes with no near match in the training data. This model fixes 4 risky calls that v1 gets wrong and breaks none.

Bench	This model	v1
Novel: recall on risky probes	92.9%	92.9%
Novel: false positives on safe and low probes	50.0%	57.1%
All 101: risky accuracy	80.2%	76.2%
All 101: level within one step	85.1%	74.3%
All 101: exact level	51.5%	45.5%
All 101: category recall	54.5%	44.2%
All 101: false positives	50.0%	52.8%

On the bench, risky means moderate or higher. The model's risky answer means any level above safe, so a low probe that the model flags counts as a false positive. The bench is small: one probe moves novel recall by 3.6 points.

Intended use

Rate a shell command before a terminal or a coding agent runs it: block or ask for confirmation above a risk cutoff, and show the categories and the reversibility answer to the person who decides. needs_review gives a direct signal for when to ask a person. The probabilities let you pick a cutoff per question and trade false alarms against misses.

Training

The weights are the base model plus the mean of three LoRA deltas, merged into model.safetensors (bf16) by training/soup.py. The list names v1's LoRA twice and a fresh rebuild-6 LoRA once, so v1 carries 2/3 of the weight. Listing a file twice doubles its weight. The two LoRAs have different ranks; the merge is exact because it concatenates their factors. Both LoRAs have scale 2 (alpha / r).

Why a blend: the fresh rebuild-6 LoRA alone flags 4.1% of safe test commands, more than v1's 3.0%. v1 alone misses 182 high and critical test commands. The blend flags 2.9% and misses 38, and none of the 38 is a command v1 catches.

Data, fresh LoRA: the train split of CLI Command Risk rebuild 6, posed as 19 decisions per command by training/build_cli_decisions.py. Rows in one template family are near copies, so training keeps one shell per distinct command and at most 40 commands per family: 14,489 commands from 997 families (275,291 decisions). Validation keeps at most 8 commands per family (642 commands from 130 families). The source Parquet files match the SHA-256 hashes in the dataset's manifest.json.
Data, v1 LoRA: the rebuild-1 train split with 17 questions, 12,383 commands from 727 families.
The dataset keeps each template family in one split, and no family has changed split since rebuild 1, so neither LoRA saw a test family.

training/ holds the scripts that built the decisions, trained, merged, and scored this model. training/lora/ holds both LoRAs: v1.pt is v1's LoRA (r32, best.pt from v1's training run) and r6.pt is the rebuild-6 LoRA (r16). liquid_d1.py train now uses the rebuild-6 recipe. To rerun the merge and the test from a local copy of this repo:

pip install peft==0.21.2 pyarrow numpy
hf download yannelli/cli-command-risk --repo-type dataset --revision v1.5 --local-dir cli-command-risk
hf download LiquidAI/d1-3B --local-dir d1-3B
python training/build_cli_decisions.py --out cli-data
export DECISIONS_DATA=cli-data
python training/soup.py d1-3B blend training/lora/v1.pt training/lora/v1.pt training/lora/r6.pt --alpha 1
python training/liquid_d1.py predict --ckpt blend/a1 --split test --out test-answers.jsonl
python training/score_cli_decisions.py test-answers.jsonl

To retrain the rebuild-6 LoRA, run python training/liquid_d1.py train --model LiquidAI/d1-3B --ckpt r6 --epochs 1 --save-every 200 after the export line. It writes r6/best.pt; pass that file to soup.py in place of training/lora/r6.pt.

Evaluation files

eval/test-answers.jsonl holds this model's answers to all 14,055 test commands, eval/score.txt is the scorer's output for it, and eval/guardrail.json has the risk-level and cutoff results from training/score_cli_risk.py. To rescore, after building cli-data as above:

python training/score_cli_decisions.py eval/test-answers.jsonl

Limitations

Labels come from language models following a written taxonomy, with model audits and a relabel pass, not from human annotators. Scores measure agreement with those labels.
Labels rate the command alone, not the machine it runs on.
Training commands use placeholders such as example.com and <TOKEN> in place of real hosts and secrets.
The risk level is the hardest question (accuracy 0.759). low is the weakest level (F1 0.139): most low test commands get high. high is next (F1 0.569).
With P(risky) above 0.5 as the flag, the model misses 38 of 6,142 high and critical test commands: 33 destructive wipefs commands and 5 that disable the pfctl firewall. Five of the 38 have P(risky) of exactly 0.5.
On the bench, the model flags 50% of the 36 safe and low probes. All 10 low probes count as false positives, because the bench treats low as not risky. On the 26 safe probes it flags 8.
