TorusGuard v0.9.2: Workflows & Skills Command-Engine Standard
Release Version: v0.9.2
Date: September 2, 2026
Status: Official Release
🚀 Overview
TorusGuard v0.9.2 elevates both Workflows (.torusguard/workflows/) and Skills (skills/ & .torusguard/skills/) to the production-grade Command-Engine Standard modeled after .agent/workflows/.
This release unifies interactive slash commands with specialized domain expertise, creating a deterministic, zero-hallucination execution engine featuring formal YAML frontmatter, mandatory pre-flight inspections, contextual decision tables, failure recovery protocols, strict hallucination guards, and two-way cross-bindings.
🌟 Key Highlights
1. Production-Grade Workflows (.torusguard/workflows/)
All 11 slash command execution playbooks upgraded to 120–172 lines, structured across 8 canonical sections:
- YAML Frontmatter: Standard metadata defining
tools,version: 0.9.2,agent,lifecycle-phase,required-skills, andscripts-binding. - Mandatory Pre-Flight Context Inspection: Enforces pre-checks on disk state, authorization TTL, and existing runs before taking action.
- "When to Use" Decision Matrices: Clarifies exact command applicability.
- Deterministic CLI Commands: Copy-pasteable Python script commands with arguments.
- Failure Recovery & Cascade Rules: Enforces 3-retry limits, error handling, and HALT vs CONTINUE policies.
- Strict Hallucination Guards: Explicitly forbids destructive actions, full-file rewrites, and unredacted secrets.
- Standardized Output Cards & Next Step Routing: Delivers clean, structured Markdown summaries with clear next actions.
2. Deepened Specialist Skills & Two-Way Cross-Bindings
All 13 skills enriched with:
- Concrete AST vulnerability search patterns and regex indicators for Python (Django, DRF, FastAPI, Flask, SQLAlchemy) and TypeScript (Next.js, Express, React).
- Safe, non-destructive probe canaries for SQLi, XSS, SSRF, IDOR, and Auth bypasses.
- Strict Ponytail Protocol line churn rules (
$\le 35$ additions,$\le 25$ deletions). - Explicit
workflow: .torusguard/workflows/<cmd>.mdfrontmatter binding. - Context budget discipline preserved: all skills range between 58 and 123 lines (strictly
$\le 300$ ).
3. Automated Validation Test Harness (harness/validate_v0_9_2_workflows_and_skills.py)
A comprehensive test suite that asserts:
- 100% YAML frontmatter compliance and required sections across all 11 workflows.
- Valid script bindings pointing to active
.torusguard/scripts/files. - Context line budgets (
$\le 300$ ) and mirror synchronization across all 13 skills. - 1:1 cross-bindings between workflows and skills.
4. Zero-Regression Release Metric
TorusGuard v0.9.2 is hardened by 9 automated test suites passing 381 automated test assertions with a 100% pass rate.
