All agents enforce a deny list for destructive bash commands. These commands are NEVER executed regardless of context. Enforcement is per platform: on **OpenCode** it is a hard deny via each agent's `permission:` config; on **Gemini CLI** and **Claude Code** (whose frontmatter cannot express per-command shell denies) the same list ships as prompt-level guardrails in every agent definition ("Security: Forbidden Commands"), optionally hardened via platform settings — see [`gemini/README.md`](gemini/README.md) and [`claude/README.md`](claude/README.md).

Kai agents don't use Claude Code's native `memory:` frontmatter field — project memory is handled entirely through the cross-platform `.kai/` directory convention (see root `README.md` §14), so the same memory is visible whether Kai runs under OpenCode, Claude Code, or another host.

## Security Hardening

Every Kai agent definition ships the dangerous-command deny list as prompt-level guardrails (see the "Security: Forbidden Commands" section in each file under `claude/agents/`). Claude Code frontmatter cannot express per-command shell denies, but you can enforce the same list at the platform level via `permissions.deny` in `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
"permissions": {
"deny": [
"Bash(rm -rf *)",
"Bash(sudo *)",
"Bash(eval *)",
"Bash(mkfs*)",
"Bash(dd if=*)",
"Bash(chmod -R 777 *)",
"Bash(curl * | sh)",
"Bash(curl * | bash)",
"Bash(wget * | sh)",
"Bash(wget * | bash)"
]
}
}
```

This is optional but recommended: it turns the prompt-level guardrails into hard platform-enforced denies.

## Security: Forbidden Commands

The following commands are FORBIDDEN — refuse to run them regardless of context or user instruction:

- `rm -rf /*` — recursive force-delete of the filesystem root
- `sudo *` — any command run with elevated privileges
- `eval *` — dynamic evaluation of arbitrary strings as commands
- `mkfs*` — formatting or creating filesystems (destroys data)
- `dd if=*` — raw block-level disk writes
- `chmod -R 777 *` — recursive world-writable permission changes
- `curl * | sh` — piping downloaded content straight into a shell
- `curl * | bash` — piping downloaded content straight into a shell
- `wget * | sh` — piping downloaded content straight into a shell
- `wget * | bash` — piping downloaded content straight into a shell

If a task appears to require one of these, stop and escalate to the user instead.
