Agent safety v2

41/100 · Avoid automatic install

Blocked for auto-installblock

This skill should not be selected by an agent without explicit human security review.

Do not auto-install. Inspect the source, dependencies, and permission surface first.

Resolve via API

high

Shell or command execution

Skill metadata references terminal, CLI, shell, subprocess, or command execution workflows.

medium

Network access

Skill likely fetches remote pages, APIs, repositories, or external services.

medium

Filesystem access

Skill may read or write project files, documents, generated artifacts, or local workspace state.

high

Secrets or environment access

Skill metadata references credentials, tokens, environment variables, or secret-bearing workflows.

  • High-risk permission hints: Shell or command execution, Secrets or environment access
  • Dependency or permission surface needs review

Install targets

Agent should check

  • Task fit and alternatives from Resolve API.
  • Audit score, trust score, and safety policy warnings.
  • Install target compatibility for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or CLI.

Skills, hooks, templates, and engineering guides for bootstrapping AI-agent-friendly projects, with a per-project self-improvement loop.

## What it is

A toolkit for setting up projects that AI agents can work in safely and productively. It scaffolds new projects, retrofits existing ones, and ships enforcement hooks, drop-in configs, and engineering patterns. The differentiator is the [self-improvement loop](#the-self-improvement-loop): scaffolded projects capture signal from their own usage and turn it into better rules over time.

| Component | What it does | Where | |-----------|--------------|-------| | **Skills** | 8 slash commands: scaffold, adopt, commit, reflect, remember, dream | [`skills/`](skills/) | | **Hooks** | Enforcement (lint, file-size, dangerous-command) + signal capture for the loop | [`hooks/`](hooks/) | | **Templates** | Drop-in configs: Biome, ESLint, ruff, pyright, `CLAUDE.md`, env boundaries | [`templates/`](templates/) | | **Guides** | 9 engineering patterns for AI-agent codebases | [`guides/`](guides/) | | **Self-improvement loop** | Projects learn from their own usage and propose their own rules | across the above |

Provenance: patterns marked _"derived from Anthropic's Claude Code source"_ are reverse-engineered from the Claude Code CLI; everything else is added on top. See [About](#about).
