+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(wget * | sh)",
+      "Bash(wget * | bash)"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This is optional but recommended: it turns the prompt-level guardrails into hard platform-enforced denies.

+## Security Hardening (Optional)
+
+Every Kai agent definition ships the dangerous-command deny list as prompt-level guardrails (see the "Security: Forbidden Commands" section in each file under `gemini/agents/`). Gemini CLI frontmatter cannot express per-command shell denies, but you can optionally enforce the same list at the platform level via Gemini CLI's Policy Engine. Add deny rules for `run_shell_command` in `policy.toml` (e.g. `~/.gemini/policies/kai-deny.toml`):
+
+```toml
+[[rule]]
+effect = "deny"
+tool_name = "run_shell_command"
+command_pattern = "rm -rf /*"
+
+[[rule]]
+effect = "deny"
+tool_name = "run_shell_command"
+command_pattern = "sudo *"
+```
+
+Add one `[[rule]]` per forbidden pattern (`eval *`, `mkfs*`, `dd if=*`, `chmod -R 777 *`, `curl * | sh`, `curl * | bash`, `wget * | sh`, `wget * | bash`, …). This is optional but recommended: it turns the prompt-level guardrails into hard platform-enforced denies. Check your Gemini CLI version's Policy Engine documentation for the exact schema and policy file locations.
