setup

A command for setting up Archguardian in a project. Archguardian scans source code for security findings and can run as part of the pre-commit check before changes are saved to version control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize Archguardian, choose languages and scan settings, run the first scan, create a baseline, and check that the pre-commit hook is active.
Why use it?
It gives a new project a repeatable security scan and records existing findings as a baseline when needed. This helps teams focus on new problems instead of repeatedly reporting known ones.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 120 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Initialize archguardian in the current project.

  1. Check if already configured: ls .archguard.yml
  2. If not configured, run npx archguardian init
  3. Walk through key settings: languages, include/exclude, analyzers, severity
  4. Ask if user wants to customize anything, apply edits to .archguard.yml
  5. Run initial scan: npx archguardian scan --format json
  6. If many findings, suggest baseline: npx archguardian scan --update-baseline
  7. Confirm pre-commit hook is installed and active
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

setup is a command published in the GitHub repository ysfAskri/archguardian (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 120 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
