bash-guard

A shell-command safety check with user-editable rules. Shell commands are instructions typed into a terminal to operate on files, Git, and other system tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review every Bash command against rules for dangerous file deletion, Git history changes, downloaded scripts, and identity-management changes.
Why use it?
It can block risky commands before they run, including destructive Git or filesystem operations and untrusted commands piped from the internet.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

bash-guard scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
