Guard-skills checks AI-written code before it ships
guard-skills is a set of checks for code, tests, and docs made by a coding agent. It looks for common AI mistakes, such as weak tests, made-up functions, or docs that do not match the real code. It does not directly cut token cost, but it can reduce rework and extra AI runs.
Key points
- Use it after a coding agent finishes work, like a quality gate before commit or merge.
- It includes separate guards for code, tests, docs, WordPress, and WooCommerce work.
- It can catch tests that prove little and docs that mention things the code does not have.
- For teams using AI agents often, it may save time by finding bad output earlier.
