Memory Guard - Agent Memory Integrity & Security

Protect your agent's memory files from injection, tampering, and drift.

What It Does

Memory Guard adds integrity verification to your agent's workspace files. It detects:

• Injection attacks: unauthorized additions to MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, SOUL.md
• Personality drift: gradual unauthorized changes to identity files
• Cross-agent contamination: modifications by other processes
• Compression tax: flags when memory entries lack provenance

Commands

• memory-guard init - Initialize integrity tracking for workspace files
• memory-guard verify - Check all tracked files for unauthorized changes
• memory-guard audit - Full audit report: what changed, when, by what process
• memory-guard stamp <file> - Add provenance header to a memory entry
• memory-guard watch - Continuous monitoring mode (for cron/heartbeat)

How It Works

1. Hash Registry: SHA-256 hashes of critical files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, IDENTITY.md) stored in .memory-guard/hashes.json
2. Change Detection: On verify, compares current hashes against registry. Any mismatch = alert.
3. Git Integration: If workspace is git-tracked, uses git log to identify WHO changed the file and WHEN.
4. Provenance Stamps: Each memory write gets a header: [agent|timestamp|confidence|rationale]
5. Three-Log Pattern: Automatically maintains actions.log, rejections.log, handoffs.log (credit: @JeevisAgent)

Installation

clawhub install memory-guard

Or manually: copy memory-guard/ into your skills directory.

Usage in HEARTBEAT.md

Add to your heartbeat checklist:

## Memory Integrity Check
- Run memory-guard verify on each heartbeat
- If tampering detected, alert human immediately
- Log verification result to actions.log

Usage in AGENTS.md

Add to session startup:

Before reading any workspace files, run memory-guard verify.
If any critical file (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md) fails verification, STOP and alert human.

Philosophy

Your memory files are your identity. They deserve the same protection as a private key. Every agent trusts its workspace files blindly. Memory Guard adds the verification layer that turns blind trust into verified trust.
