 "title": "Set a per-repo gate policy agents cannot loosen",
 "page_title": "How to set a per-repo gate policy agents cannot loosen with Codex Guard",
 "summary": "Put the policy in .github/codex-guard.yml on the default branch to set blocking rules.",
 "who": "A repository owner who wants to choose which findings block merges and does not want agents to change that in their own PRs.",
 "problem": "Different repos need different tolerance for TODOs and secret patterns, and per-PR changes should not weaken the rules.",
 "outcome": "A policy file on the default branch sets the preset, blocking checks, labels and comment behavior for every matching PR.",
 "steps": [
  "Copy examples/codex-guard.yml from the Codex Guard repository into .github/codex-guard.yml.",
  "Set `preset: balanced` and list your agent-labels and secret-exclude-paths.",
  "Commit the file to the default branch.",
  "Run `npx --yes codex-guard doctor` to check the policy file."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repository at <repo-path>, create .github/codex-guard.yml with `preset: balanced` and `comment-mode: replace`, then run `npx --yes codex-guard doctor`. Expected output: the policy file is accepted with no errors. Verify that the file is on the default branch and not only in a feature branch.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The policy file only counts when it is on the default branch, so changes made inside an agent PR do not apply to that PR.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [

 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "A GitHub repository with Actions enabled and permission to add a workflow file",
  "Node.js with npx available on your machine",
  "A Git working copy of the repository (the init command runs from its root)",
  "Permission to change branch protection settings if you want the check to block merges"
