Guardian

Guardian is a desktop and CLI governance layer built for small engineering teams that need to control AI-generated code before it ships. Rather than functioning as a coding assistant or generic scanner, Guardian acts as the release decision layer for AI-assisted code changes, combining policy enforcement with human accountability.

The tool follows a four-step release governance cycle. First, it identifies and isolates AI-assisted or unusually large code changes for stricter review. Then it applies team-defined architecture, security, and quality policies automatically. Human reviewers validate findings and record approval or override decisions with documented reasons. Finally, Guardian produces a release readiness signal backed by evidence, answering whether the code can ship and why.

• AI-Generated Code Intake — Detects AI-heavy or large refactor pull requests and routes them into stricter evaluation paths before release.
• Policy-as-Code Enforcement — Applies architecture, security, and quality rules defined in your repository to every risky change, with strict, warn, or off gate modes.
• Human Approval Workflow — Requires named approvers and override reasons for high-risk flows, maintaining a durable audit trail of every release decision.
• Release Decision Surface — Produces explicit pass, pass-with-warning, or block decisions with supporting evidence rather than just listing issues.
• Guru AI Assistant — Explains risky findings in plain language and generates policy-aligned fix proposals using configurable AI providers including OpenAI and Ollama.
• Semantic Code Search — Finds similar code patterns across the codebase using a local vector database powered by sqlite-vec.
• Reviews and Fix Proposals — Provides a structured queue for reviewing, applying, or rejecting AI-suggested fixes with per-file undo history.
• Local-First Architecture — Policies stay in the repository and the desktop plus CLI workflow operates locally, with cloud AI providers optional.
• CLI and CI Integration — Shared scan policy core ensures consistent behavior between the desktop app, CLI, and CI release gates.
• Multi-Language Localization — Desktop and website UI support English and Turkish, with AI outputs following the selected language.
