Make Claude always do something as part of its work, enforced by a hook instead of memory. Creates an always-rule from one sentence ("/always rebuild the app and copy it to my desktop after code changes", "/always commit after every update", "/always run the tests before you commit", "/always update the PDF after every change we decide"), and controls existing ones with /always skip, pause, resume, list, remove. Use when the user types /always, or asks Claude to do something every time, after…
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
# Always An **always-rule** makes Claude do a task every time something happens: Claude cannot finish its reply, or cannot take the next step, until the task is done. It runs on the same engine as `/forge` (never-rules): one hook program, tested examples, backtest on past sessions, and the tamper guard. `<engine>` is `<skill-dir>/../forge/scripts/forge.py`, where `<skill-dir>` is the base directory shown when this skill loads. `<guardrails>` is the installed scope: `<project>/.claude/guardrails/` or `~/.claude/guardrails/`. The rule format is in [`../forge/reference/rules.md`](../forge/reference/rules.md) under **Always-rules**. ## Pick the branch from the arguments | Arguments | Do | |---|---| | none, `help` | Show the menu below and stop | | `skip [id]`, `pause [id]`, `resume [id]` | Nothing to run. The hook reads the user's own command from the conversation and announces it at the end of this reply. Say in one line what will happen, then stop. Never run anything to imitate it. | | `list` | `python3 <guardrails>/forge.py list --always` for each installed scope | …

How to install
mdr add mohammedatya/guardrail-forge/always@sha256:4bd672d20184150bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.9f8712f, 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.
