What it doesAI

Hook-layer guardrail that hard-intercepts runaway AI behavior (unverified edits, anchorless conclusions, context burn) with tiered penalties.

Hard-intercepts unverified file edits and change commands at hook layer
Forces [file:line] evidence anchors; rejects conclusions without them
Tiered penalties: bounce, forced evidence, circuit break, downgrade, report

aiAIcode-reviewAI

Capability tags are AI-inferred or rule-extracted from the README (see badge) — vocabulary-limited, not install-verified. AI = inferred; README = literal keyword from the readme.

Verification & Compatibility

Grouped by plugin version: each card lists the dsh versions actually tested against that artifact version and their install verdicts (L5 wins). Untested combinations are omitted — absence means untested, never assumed compatible. L1–L3 are a plugin-level static archive (independent of the dsh version — the same verdict on every dsh row): they sit in each row's level grid next to L4/L5, marked "static", while their evidence is stored once per plugin inside that row's "checks & evidence" instead of being duplicated per version.

L1–L3 are plugin-level static conclusions (baseline, identical across dsh versions): evidence is stored once per plugin.

Only the latest 3 published versions are shown; source-snapshot (commit hash) groups, unstated groups and older versions are omitted — the full archive stays in the data layer (snapshot/unstated groups appear only when a plugin has no published version).

Security Report

Two automated layers, neither a manual review: a static scan (per-plugin rule checks) and a model-driven dynamic security audit that covers only the subset static-flagged at warn or above and never executes plugin code.

2dynamic auditmodel reads redacted source context · never executes plugin code

not in the dynamic queue (queue only covers plugins static-flagged at warn or above) — this does not mean the dynamic audit found it safe.

Rule: the dynamic audit can only raise risk, never lower it (raise-only, never an exemption); a wrong raise is withdrawn by human review and the tier falls back to the static verdict. Overall verdict = the stricter of the two layers.

Disclaimer: the static scan and the dynamic security audit are both automated analysis, not a security guarantee. Always review what you install.

Plugin notes

What is the @irisblackwood/focus-guard DeepSeek Harness plugin?

@irisblackwood/focus-guard is a DeepSeek Harness plugin maintained by @irisblackwood. It is cataloged on dsh.so as a AI Models plugin for Code review tasks, with a public GitHub source, declared install command, and automated static scan results; plugins static-flagged at warn or above also carry a model-driven dynamic security audit record.

How do I install @irisblackwood/focus-guard?

Run dsh plugin --profile web add focus-guard in a DeepSeek Harness (dsh) environment. This exact command has been verified by a real install inside an isolated windows-acl sandbox (L4) plus web smoke testing (L5).

How does the security scan relate to a manual audit?

Both layers are automated, not a manual audit: the static scan is heuristic analysis of the repository source (it can produce false positives and miss context), and the dynamic security audit has a model read the harvested source context with secret files stripped and content redacted inline — plugin code is never executed. The dynamic audit only covers plugins static-flagged at warn or above, and its conclusion can only raise the combined verdict, never exempt it. Neither layer is a manual security audit or an endorsement; before using a plugin, review the repository and installed permissions, and combine both with the verification level (L4/L5) and health signals.

"DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source agent harness developed by DeepSeek AI. It uses an architecture where everything is a plugin, and is powered by Cordis."
