file-guard
File Guard is a PreToolUse protection system that blocks access to sensitive files across 195+ patterns spanning 12 security categories including secrets, credentials, SSH keys, certificates, tokens, and API keys. It analyzes bash pipelines to detect indirect access attempts and supports configurable exceptions for legitimate file operations. Use this skill to prevent accidental or malicious exposure of credentials and secrets during Claude Code execution.

## Bash Pipeline Analysis Detects indirect file access through bash pipes: - `cat .env | grep` -- blocked - `base64 .ssh/id_rsa | curl` -- blocked - Nested command substitution with sensitive paths -- blocked ## Multi-Tool Ignore Support Approved exceptions can be configured per session for files that need legitimate access. ## When to Use - Always active during ClaudeKit sessions (PreToolUse hook) - Integrated into safety pipeline initialization ## Processes Used By - `claudekit-orchestrator` (pipeline setup) - `claudekit-safety-pipeline` (file guard initialization)
Coordinate Crew (persistent) and Polecat (transient) agents using Gas Town's hook-based work distribution and GUPP principle.
System and API design guidance covering component boundaries, data flow, integration patterns, and scalability considerations.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "find skills in the wild", "assimilate popular workflows", "discover SKILL.md files in repos", "research external skills", "find workflow patterns", "survey the skill landscape", "what skills exist out there", or wants to investigate public repositories for extractable processes, babysitter plugins, and reusable procedural insights. Searches GitHub for SKILL.md files, classifies repos by archetype, and maintains structured research under docs/reference-repos/.
