rugged-gemini: Skill for Gemini CLI

.gemini/skills/guardrails/SKILL.md

guardrails is a skill for Gemini CLI from irahardianto/rugged-gemini. It costs 30 tokens per session (513 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pair of coding checklists: one before writing code and one after implementation. They cover project structure, testing, security, error handling, and logging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking a planned change before coding and reviewing the finished implementation for common engineering gaps.
Why use it?
It helps catch design violations, missing tests, security oversights, and operational problems before code is verified.

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

guardrails 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 11d 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

Guardrails

When to Invoke

  • Pre-Flight: before writing any code
  • Self-Review: after writing code, before verification

Pre-Flight

  • Identified applicable rules from GEMINI.md
  • Searched for existing patterns (Pattern Discovery — GEMINI.md § Architectural Patterns)
  • Project structure aligned (GEMINI.md § Project Structure)
  • I/O boundaries identified for abstraction
  • Test strategy determined (unit/integration/E2E)
  • Reviewed GEMINI.md § Rule Priority for conflicts

Any item unchecked → STOP and resolve.

Post-Implementation Self-Review

Security:

  • No hardcoded secrets/config
  • User input validated at boundaries
  • Parameterized queries (no SQL concat)

Testability:

  • I/O behind interfaces
  • Business logic pure (no side effects in calcs)
  • Dependencies injected

Observability:

  • Public ops logged (start/success/failure)
  • Structured logging with correlationId
  • Appropriate log levels

Error Handling:

  • Explicit error paths (no empty catch)
  • Errors wrapped with context
  • Resources cleaned up (defer/finally)

Testing:

  • Happy path covered
  • ≥2 error paths covered
  • Domain edge cases
  • I/O adapters modified → integration tests
  • UI modified → E2E tests exist/planned

Consistency:

  • Follows codebase patterns (>80%)
  • Naming conventions match
  • File org matches GEMINI.md § Project Structure

Language-Specific

Language File
Go languages/go.md
TypeScript languages/typescript.md
Flutter/Dart languages/flutter.md
Rust languages/rust.md

Load only for active languages. Missing file → flag for creation.

Compliance

  • All mandates (always-on rules)
  • Architectural Patterns GEMINI.md § Architectural Patterns
  • Testing Strategy GEMINI.md § Testing Strategy
  • Rule Priority GEMINI.md § Rule Priority
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

guardrails is a skill published in the GitHub repository irahardianto/rugged-gemini (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 513 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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.
