REPOS Repos for #guardrails (top 40 by stars)

paladini/harness-score

Your AI coding agent is only as reliable as the harness around it. Measure that harness in seconds with harness-score.

TypeScript ★ 575 AI 70 Solo 2 sig live ↗
SihyeonJeon/why-was-fable-banned

Fable-style spec + evidence gate for Claude Code + Codex. Makes Opus/Codex work under Fable-like discipline: blocks every edit until a deterministic spec passes, and there is no "done" without live acceptance evidence. Spec-first, verification-gated, forbidden-paths enforced.

kalyvask/ai-safety-os

Same agent action, safe or dangerous by context: email team vs investor; delete scratch vs prod config. A safety layer routes each action: auto, confirm, escalate, block. A reading model auto-executes 0% of unsafe actions vs a baseline's 38% (McNemar p<0.001). Plus a runtime loop: an agent earns or loses autonomy with each counterparty over time.
