GhostGuard — The Ghost That Stands Between Your Agent and Its Actions
Final submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge: Ghost in the Machine.

GhostGuard is an open-source AI project that safeguards users from AI agents attempting to perform harmful actions. Inspired by a real-life incident involving a fake-recruiter campaign, GhostGuard serves as both a guardian and a memorial to the lessons learned from past security breaches. The system is designed to prevent unauthorized actions and ensure that any necessary actions are approved by a human before execution.
