Step-by-step Workflow

guard — Workflow

Auto-generated from SKILL.md. The skill itself is the source of truth; this is a human-readable map of what it does and how it runs.

What it does & when to use

Full safety mode: destructive command warnings + directory-scoped edits. Combines /careful (warns before rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push, etc.) with /freeze (blocks edits outside a specified directory). Use for maximum safety when touching prod or debugging live systems. Use when asked to "guard mode", "full safety", "lock it down", or "maximum safety". (gstack)

Triggers

• guard mode
• full safety
• lock it down
• maximum safety

Components

Single-file skill — all instructions live in SKILL.md.

Invoke

• Slash: /guard
• Or a natural-language request matching the triggers above.

Source: SKILL.md in this directory.

Execution Logic

The skill executes when its trigger fires (slash command, natural-language match, or direct invocation). It reads its references, applies its rules, and produces the documented outputs.

Edge Cases

See the source skill's references/ and scripts/ folders for edge-case handling.

Failure Handling

A skill failure surfaces as a tool error or a partial output; never a silent skip. Re-run with --verbose (where applicable) for diagnostics.

Integration Notes

• Claude — invoked via the Skill tool with skill: "guard".
• Codex — referenced from AGENTS.md if mirrored.
• Antigravity — referenced from the workspace agent rules if mirrored.
• HQ Project — listed on the landing page Skills section + post-login sidebar.
• MD Project (md.sgnk.ai) — file rendered from Skills/Guard/workflow.md.
• Obsidian — file rendered with frontmatter + tags.

Usage Examples

Invoke via slash command or natural language matching the skill description.
