guard-skills

Guard-skills is a pack of quality gates for AI coding agents. You point your agent at them and they run a second pass over the code it just wrote, catching the specific ways AI-generated code tends to fail: swallowed errors, hardcoded "success" returns, hallucinated APIs, tests that assert nothing. Free and MIT licensed.

Five skills cover the bases. One guards general clean code, one guards test quality (mock abuse, duplicate tests, implementation-detail assertions), and one treats your docs as claims and verifies each against the actual code. Two more are specific to WordPress and WooCommerce, handling escaping, sanitization, and money math. Install is a one-liner through the skills CLI, with nothing to host.

If you let an AI agent write code, this is a cheap safety net for catching the slop before it ships. It's complementary to your real CI tooling, not a replacement for it. Useful at any team size, though heavier teams will still want proper linters and human review on top.

The catch: it's brand new, just a couple of commits in, and tied to agents that support the skills format. Half the pack is WordPress and WooCommerce specific, so a general developer really gets three of the five skills. Worth watching as it grows.
