guardrail-patterns

guardrail-patterns is a skill for Codex from ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm. It costs 58 tokens per session (236 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding guide for changing command-safety checks in the opencode-swarm project. It covers how shell commands are cleaned up, split, checked, and tested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing guardrail code, shell-wrapper parsing, .swarm path handling, or tests for unsafe commands.
Why use it?
It helps prevent changes from accidentally creating ways to bypass destructive-command blocking. It also keeps the required project instructions and test checks in view.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

Good fit Use it when editing guardrail code, shell-wrapper parsing, .swarm path handling, or tests for unsafe commands.

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

guardrail-patterns 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 9d 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

Guardrail Patterns

Read, in order:

  1. AGENTS.md
  2. .agents/skills/engineering-conventions/SKILL.md
  3. .agents/skills/writing-tests/SKILL.md if tests are touched
  4. .opencode/skills/generated/guardrail-patterns/SKILL.md

Codex-specific execution notes:

  • Use rg to locate the current guardrail section numbers before editing; line numbers in generated skills can drift.
  • Preserve wrapper-unwrapping, normalization, and per-segment evaluation order unless the task is specifically to change it.
  • Add or update adversarial tests for bypass surfaces, argument-order permutations, Windows shell forms, and .swarm path variants.
  • Run focused guardrail tests after the change and report exact commands.
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.
