## What it is
A collection of guard skills for AI coding agents that act as second-pass quality gates on AI-generated code, tests, and documentation. It ships five installable skills (clean-code-guard, test-guard, docs-guard, wp-guard, woo-guard) via the skills CLI for agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

## Use cases
- review AI-generated code for LLM code smells before committing
- catch useless or mock-abusing tests written by an AI agent
- verify documentation claims against actual source code to catch hallucinated APIs
- quality-check WordPress plugin changes made by a coding agent
- review WooCommerce checkout code changes
- add a reactive review pass to an AI coding workflow

## When to choose
- you use AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor and want automated second-pass review of their output
- you want to catch systematic AI failure modes like over-abstraction, broad error swallowing, and hallucinated symbols
- you work with WordPress or WooCommerce and need domain-specific guard passes
- you want lightweight, MIT-licensed skills installable via npx

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone linter or CI-integrated static analysis tool rather than agent-invoked skills
- your workflow does not involve AI coding agents
- you need deep semantic analysis or type checking rather than heuristic review passes
- you require guaranteed correctness - these are heuristic guards, not formal verification
