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

# Working in this repo

exit-status-guard is a Claude Code PreToolUse hook. It denies Bash commands
whose exit status is the answer and gets discarded — piped into a filter,
backgrounded behind an `echo`, or sequenced before a state change with `;`.

Work is tracked in the repo-root backlog, [`docs/queue/`](https://github.com/karlkfi/claude-bouncer/blob/main/docs/queue/README.md),
shared with the other four guards. File items with the `exit-status-guard`
label; the issue links below point at the retired `claude-pipe-guard`
repository and are history, not somewhere to file.

## Layout

| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
| `scripts/bash-exit-status-guard.py` | The whole guard. Stdlib only. |
| `exit-status-guard.json` | Shipped gate registry. Data, not code. |
| `scripts/run-python-hook.cmd` | Cross-platform launcher. Do not "simplify" it. |
| `scripts/friction-report.py` | Read-only transcript analyzer. |
| `tests/test_exit_status_guard.py` | Table-driven suite. Both directions asserted. |
| `tests/test_packaging.py` | Asserts the wired-up files ship runnable. |
| `tests/launcher_check.py` | Drives the hook through the launcher. Not in `discover`. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add karlkfi/claude-bouncer/plugins/exit-status-guard/CLAUDE.md@sha256:e1d3396602e4647d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.627254a, 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.
