guard-pack

A plugin that combines six safety checks for coding-agent tool calls into one Node.js process. The checks cover configuration, dangerous commands, secrets, tests, Git operations, and case-sensitive path issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for adding safety checks around agent actions, including command execution, handling secrets, modifying tests or Git data, and accessing files whose names differ only by letter case.
Why use it?
It centralizes several protections and avoids starting a separate Node process for each check. It also warns that installing it alongside the individual guards would run the protections twice.

Getting it into your agent

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

guard-pack 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 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.

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

{
  "name": "guard-pack",
  "description": "All six guard hooks in one Node process: config-guard, block-dangerous-commands, protect-secrets, protect-tests, git-safety, and case-insensitive-guard, evaluated in that order with the first blocking verdict winning in that guard's own output format. Installing the guards individually costs six Node startups per matching tool call (about 35 ms each); the pack pays one. Env vars pass straight through (HOOK_SAFETY_LEVEL for all guards uniformly, HOOK_ASK_*, CONFIG_GUARD_ALLOW). Do not install alongside the individual guard plugins: duplicated guards run twice.",

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.
