Prevents private infrastructure details (node hostnames, internal project names, local usernames and personal emails, absolute home paths, private and VPN IP ranges) from leaking into public repositories through commits, PRs, docs or release artifacts. Use when working in a public or soon-to-be-public repo, before commits or releases, when writing deployment docs for an OSS project, or when the user asks to "set up the privacy guard", "install privacy-guard", "check for leaks…

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

# privacy-guard

Guard against accidentally publishing details of your private infrastructure in public
repositories (or in repositories that may become public later). Two legs: behavioral rules
for the Claude session, always on, and a per-repo technical gate: a pre-commit hook backed
by a gitignored local denylist, plus gitleaks.

## Threat model

The public repository is the boundary. Anything that describes your private infrastructure
must not cross it, in any form: committed files, commit messages, branch names, PR and
issue bodies, release notes, published artifacts, screenshots.

**Sensitive, never in a public repo:**
- node hostnames and internal aliases (workstations, VPS, client machines)
- names of internal projects and service instances that were never published
- local usernames, personal and work email addresses
- personal domains and URLs of internal services
- absolute paths of home directories and internal mounts
- private-network IP ranges and VPN address space (for example the Tailscale CGNAT range
  `100.64.0.0/10`)
- cookie files, tokens, credentials (also covered by gitleaks)

**Not sensitive, fine in public docs:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fvadicamo/dev-agent-skills/privacy-guard@sha256:63990d6f0dd32598

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.23114c9, 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.
