dirge-agent 0.18.4

Minimalistic coding agent written in Rust, optimized for memory footprint and performance
//! Security scanning for skill content.
//!
//! Before accepting any new or modified skill content, scan for
//! patterns that indicate malicious intent: code injection, shell
//! command embedding, credential exfiltration, etc. Port of
//! Hermes's `tools/skills_guard.py`.
//!
//! Uses regex patterns (not substring matching) to defeat
//! whitespace-evasion attacks — "ignore  previous  instructions"
//! is caught the same as "ignore previous instructions".
