action-guard

action-guard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lord1Egypt/awesome-skill-forge. It costs 95 tokens per session (946 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A duplicate-action check for irreversible or externally visible actions, such as sending messages, transferring tokens, or deploying software. It records completed actions so later sessions can check them first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking and recording replies, transfers, emails, messages, deployments, and other actions that should happen only once.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of repeating an action when an agent has lost its previous session state. A check can stop the action if the same target was already handled.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/guard.js check <action-type> <target-id>.

Good fit Checking and recording replies, transfers, emails, messages, deployments, and other actions that should happen only once.

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 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.

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)
  • 1STOP — action already taken (details printed to stderr)
  • 2 — error (config missing, etc.)

How It Works

  1. Check hashes <action-type>:<target-id> and searches the log
  2. Also checks --parent matches — catches "different reply to same post" duplicates
  3. Record appends to .action-guard/actions.jsonl
  4. Data persists across sessions — survives context resets

Action Types

Use any string. Common types:

Type Use For
reply Social media replies
post Original posts
send Token/crypto transfers
email Outbound emails
deploy Production deployments
dm Direct messages
webhook Webhook triggers

CLI Reference

  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.
