Diagnose, install, and verify Agent Guard's plugin-local binary, jq and gitleaks dependencies, the active host integration, and live hook protection. Use when Agent Guard reports degraded protection, a SessionStart warning asks for setup, plugin hooks fail or appear bypassed, or a user asks to finish or repair Agent Guard installation.

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

# Setup Agent Guard

Make Agent Guard operational without silently changing the machine. Diagnose first, request approval before package-manager or download actions, and finish with a real smoke test.

## Workflow

1. Resolve the Agent Guard executable without confusing the plugin with a standalone install.
   - First use the plugin binary two directories above this skill: `../../bin/agent-guard` relative to this `SKILL.md` directory.
   - Resolve the path from the skill directory, confirm that it is executable, and use it for every plugin diagnosis and smoke test.
   - Separately inspect `command -v agent-guard`, if present. Compare its `version` with the plugin binary and report version drift, but do not substitute it for the plugin binary or modify the standalone installation without explicit approval.
   - Only fall back to `command -v agent-guard` when the plugin-relative binary is unavailable, and clearly state that plugin-local verification could not be completed.
   - Do not install a second copy of Agent Guard merely to get a command on `PATH`.

2. Run the read-only diagnosis:

   ```sh
   "<agent-guard-bin>" setup
   ```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jeongjaesoon/agent-guard/setup-agent-guard@sha256:3f111fc4ef4ff59a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.7661c74, 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.
