Publish Guard

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

Publish Guard is a local pre-release audit tool whose repo scanning and secret-pattern checks match its stated purpose.

Install if you want a local publish-readiness audit. Run it against a specific repo rather than your home directory or filesystem root, and treat generated reports as sensitive because they can contain filenames and line numbers for secret findings even when snippets are redacted.
