ai-coding-agent-guardrails

ai-coding-agent-guardrails is a skill for Claude Code from iradoweck/antigravity-awesome-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,577 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of ai-coding-agent-guardrails, MIT.

A security guide for using AI coding assistants safely in team repositories. It covers limiting what an assistant may read or change, protecting secrets, isolating execution, requiring review, and keeping audit records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define repository rules, block access to secret files, restrict dangerous commands, require approval for sensitive changes, and run coding agents in safer environments.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that an assistant exposes credentials, runs destructive commands, changes sensitive infrastructure, or pushes unreviewed code. The controls make its permissions clearer before it works on a project.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 .tools/scan_agent_output.py $STAGED_FILES.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 C, and why

ai-coding-agent-guardrails scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- NEVER execute `rm -rf`, `DROP TABLE`, `kubectl delete`, or `terraform destroy` commands

AI Coding Agent Guardrails

Secure the use of AI coding agents across engineering teams. This skill covers permission boundaries, secret protection, sandbox isolation, code review gates, and audit trails for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Codex.


Permission Boundaries

CLAUDE.md Configuration

Create a CLAUDE.md at the repository root to restrict Claude Code behavior:

# CLAUDE.md

## Restrictions

- NEVER read or output contents of .env, .env.*, secrets.yaml, or any file matching *.pem, *.key
- NEVER execute `rm -rf`, `DROP TABLE`, `kubectl delete`, or `terraform destroy` commands
- NEVER push directly to main or master branches
- NEVER modify files in the infrastructure/, terraform/, or .github/workflows/ directories without explicit user approval
- NEVER install new dependencies without listing them first for review
- NEVER access or display API keys, tokens, passwords, or connection strings

## Allowed Operations

- Read and modify application source code in src/, lib/, and tests/
- Run test suites with `npm test`, `pytest`, `go test`
- Run linters with `eslint`, `ruff`, `golangci-lint`
- Create new branches with prefix `ai/` or `agent/`
- Create and modify files in docs/ directory

## Code Standards

- All new functions must include docstrings or JSDoc comments
- All new code must have corresponding unit tests
- Follow existing code style and patterns in the repository
- Maximum file length: 500 lines. Suggest splitting if exceeded.

Command Allowlists

For agents that execute shell commands, define an explicit allowlist:

# .agent-permissions.yaml
agent_permissions:
  allowed_commands:
    - "npm test"
    - "npm run lint"
    - "npm run build"
    - "pytest"

    - "git status"
    - "git diff"
    - "git log"
    - "git checkout -b"

    - "git commit"
    - "ls"

    - "terraform"
    - "aws"
    - "gcloud"
    - "az"
    - "docker push"
    - "npm publish"

  blocked_paths:
    - ".env*"
    - "**/*.pem"
    - "**/*.key"
    - "**/secrets/**"
    - "infrastructure/**"
    - ".github/workflows/**"

  allowed_paths:
    - "src/**"
    - "lib/**"
    - "tests/**"
    - "docs/**"
    - "package.json"
    - "pyproject.toml"

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.
