Your AI agent reads setup guides you can't fully see
GuideCheck is an open standard aimed at ensuring that AI agents can only act on setup guides that humans can fully review. It addresses the issue of hidden instructions that may be present in various formats, which could lead to unintended actions by AI agents. The standard promotes a plain-text format that allows for complete visibility of the instructions before any authorization is given to the AI agent.
- ▪GuideCheck defines a plain-text artifact called assistant-guide.txt for AI setup instructions.
- ▪The standard ensures that humans can read the entire instruction surface before an AI agent acts.
- ▪Conformance to the GuideCheck standard does not guarantee safety, but it does verify the form of the instructions.
