Hub and source of truth for the repo-root guardrail documents (CHARTER.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, TESTING.md, SECURITY.md) that keep AI agents anchored to human intent while a project evolves within its declared boundaries. Explains the doc set, the authority hierarchy, the shared format, and how skills consult the docs, suggests which guardrails fit a repository, and drafts one only on explicit user request. Use when the user asks what guardrail docs are, which ones a repo should adopt, to suggest…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# guardrail <guardrail_skill> <role> The guardrail skill is the hub and source of truth of the `guardrail_*` family: it defines what guardrail documents are, which ones can exist, how they rank, what shape they share, and how other skills consume them. A guardrail document is a standing, human-owned markdown file at the project root that carries one domain of durable project truth an AI agent must respect or consult while working. Guardrail docs exist because unattended agents drift: a task to do X quietly becomes Y, and Y becomes Z, with no human in the loop. The guardrail layer is the human's standing voice at the moment of work: direction the agent reads and respects in every session, long after the conversation that set the direction is gone. Humans set direction through these docs; agents execute within the boundaries the docs declare and surface every conflict they meet. A guardrail bounds work; it never freezes it: the project adapts, grows, and is deliberately steered within its declared boundaries, and the docs themselves evolve with the project through their human-owned change path. …

How to install
mdr add theafh/ai-modules/guardrail@sha256:7e271b745ed9b386The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
