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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00095 | $0.00946 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00473 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00189 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00095 |
Grade A, and why
action-guard 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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Action Guard
Check before you act. Record after. Never do the same thing twice.
Why This Exists
AI agents lose state between sessions. Without a record of what you've already done, you will:
- Reply twice to the same post
- Send duplicate token transfers (unrecoverable on-chain)
- Deploy the same build twice
- Email the same person the same thing
This skill provides a universal dedup layer for any external action.
Quick Start
# Before acting — exits 1 if already done
node scripts/guard.js check <action-type> <target-id>
# After acting — record it
node scripts/guard.js record <action-type> <target-id> [--note "context"] [--parent <parent-id>]
# Examples
node scripts/guard.js check reply 2033701370289963286
node scripts/guard.js record reply 2033701370289963286 --note "replied to @startupideaspod" --parent 2033500000000000000
node scripts/guard.js check send CPcrV6UeL8CcEvC7rCV6iyUDxbkT5bkJifbz5PUs6zfg
node scripts/guard.js record send CPcrV6UeL8CcEvC7rCV6iyUDxbkT5bkJifbz5PUs6zfg --note "250K WREN airdrop"
Exit Codes
0— safe to proceed (no prior action found)1— STOP — action already taken (details printed to stderr)2— error (config missing, etc.)
How It Works
- Check hashes
<action-type>:<target-id>and searches the log - Also checks
--parentmatches — catches "different reply to same post" duplicates - Record appends to
.action-guard/actions.jsonl - Data persists across sessions — survives context resets

CLI Reference
node scripts/guard.js <command> [options]
Commands:
check <type> <target> Check if action was already taken
record <type> <target> Record a completed action
history [--type <type>] Show recent actions
stats Action counts by type
search <query> Search notes
Options:
--note "text" Context note (for record)
--parent <id> Parent/target ID (catches reply-to-same-post dupes)
--days <n> Limit history to N days (default: 30)
--data-dir <path> Data directory (default: .action-guard/)
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.

action-guard is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lord1Egypt/awesome-skill-forge (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 946 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
