Show or switch the TARS git guard. "off" stops it from checking git steps in this session; "on" turns it back on. "default off|on" sets it for every session without its own on or off, in every project. No argument shows the session's state and the default. STTP's other rules stay on.

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

The TARS prompt hook already handled this command and reported the result in its output. Repeat that one line to the user. Nothing else.

on: git add, commit, push, tag, stash, reset and restore --staged ask first (Claude Code) or need the user's latest message to name them (Codex), in this session.
off: git steps are not checked until /sttp-guards on or the end of the session.
default off|on: the guard in every session that has not used on or off, open ones too, in every project and in both tools. With no default set, it is on.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frolad/tars/sttp-guards@sha256:c76a64b3cdc2a2a9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.96c9a51, 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.
