Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned adewale/guardrails-skill at 6f0278e98a.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The adewale-guardrails skill provides a mechanism to enforce safety and ethical boundaries within AI agent interactions. It allows developers to define rules and constraints that guide an agent's responses, preventing harmful or inappropriate outputs. This helps ensure responsible and trustworthy AI behavior across various applications.

When to use it

  • Content Moderation: Filter out offensive language or sensitive topics in chatbot conversations.
  • Data Privacy Compliance: Prevent agents from revealing personally identifiable information (PII) during interactions.
  • Brand Safety: Ensure agent responses align with brand values and avoid controversial statements.
  • Legal & Regulatory Adherence: Help agents comply with legal requirements regarding content generation and disclosure.

Key capabilities

  • Rule definition for safe outputs
  • Enforcement of ethical boundaries
  • Prevention of harmful or inappropriate responses

Example prompts

  • "Can you help me write a response that avoids mentioning any personal details?"
  • "Ensure the agent's reply doesn’t include any profanity."
  • “Restrict the agent from discussing political topics.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires careful configuration of rules to achieve desired behavior. Thorough testing is essential to ensure guardrails are effective without overly restricting legitimate interactions.
