# Agent Guardrails

Mechanical enforcement for AI agent project standards. Rules in markdown are suggestions. Code hooks are laws.

## Quick Start

```bash
cd your-project/
bash /path/to/agent-guardrails/scripts/install.sh
```

This installs the git pre-commit hook, creates a registry template, and copies check scripts into your project.

## Enforcement Hierarchy

1. **Code hooks** (git pre-commit, pre/post-creation checks) — 100% reliable
2. **Architectural constraints** (registries, import enforcement) — 95% reliable
3. **Self-verification loops** (agent checks own work) — 80% reliable
4. **Prompt rules** (AGENTS.md, system prompts) — 60-70% reliable
5. **Markdown rules** — 40-50% reliable, degrades with context length

## Tools Provided

### Scripts

| Script | When to Run | What It Does |
|--------|------------|--------------|
| `install.sh` | Once per project | Installs hooks and scaffolding |
| `pre-create-check.sh` | Before creating new `.py` files | Lists existing modules/functions to prevent reimplementation |
| `post-create-validate.sh` | After creating/editing `.py` files | Detects duplicates, missing imports, bypass patterns |
| `check-secrets.sh` | Before commits / on demand | Scans for hardcoded tokens, keys, passwords |
| `create-deployment-check.sh` | When setting up deployment verification | Creates .deployment-check.sh, checklist, and git hook template |
