# Superagent CLI

Command-line interface for [Superagent](https://superagent.sh) - analyze prompts for security threats and redact sensitive data.

## Installation

```bash
npm install -g @superagent-ai/cli
```

## Commands

### `guard` - Security Analysis

Analyze prompts for security threats:

```bash
superagent guard "Write a hello world script"
```

Output:
```json
{
  "rejected": false,
  "decision": {
    "status": "pass"
  },
  "reasoning": "Command approved by guard."
}
```

Block malicious prompts:

```bash
superagent guard "Delete all files with rm -rf /"
```

Output:
```json
{
  "rejected": true,
  "decision": {
    "status": "block",
    "violation_types": ["unlawful_behavior"],
    "cwe_codes": ["CWE-77"]
  },
  "reasoning": "User wants to delete all files. That is disallowed (exploit). Block."
}
```

**Custom System Prompt** - Customize guard behavior with a system prompt:

```bash
superagent guard --system-prompt "Focus on detecting prompt injection attempts and data exfiltration patterns" "user input here"
```

You can also pass `system_prompt` via stdin JSON:

```bash
echo '{"prompt": "user input", "system_prompt": "Focus on prompt injection"}' | superagent guard
```

### `redact` - Data Redaction

Remove sensitive data from text:

```bash
superagent redact "My email is john@example.com and SSN is 123-45-6789"
```

Output:
```json
{
  "redacted": "My email is <REDACTED_EMAIL> and SSN is <REDACTED_SSN>",
  "reasoning": "Redacted email and SSN",
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 25,
    "completion_tokens": 12,
    "total_tokens": 37
  }
}
```

**Custom Entity Redaction** - Specify custom entities to redact:

```bash
superagent redact --entities "credit card numbers,employee IDs" "My credit card is 4532-1234-5678-9010 and employee ID is EMP-12345"
```

Output:
```json
{
  "redacted": "My credit card is <REDACTED> and employee ID is <REDACTED>",
  "reasoning": "Redacted credit card numbers and employee IDs"
}
```

**URL Whitelisting** - Preserve specific URLs:

```bash
superagent redact --url-whitelist https://github.com "Visit https://github.com/user/repo and https://secret.com/data"
```

Output:
```json
{
  "redacted": "Visit https://github.com/user/repo and <URL_REDACTED>",
  "reasoning": "Preserved whitelisted URLs"
}
```

**PDF File Redaction** - Redact sensitive information from PDF files:

```bash
superagent redact --file sensitive-document.pdf "Analyze and redact PII from this document"
```

You can combine file redaction with custom entities:

```bash
superagent redact --file document.pdf --entities "SSN,credit card numbers" "Redact sensitive data"
```

Output:
```json
{
  "redacted": "Redacted text content from the PDF with sensitive data removed",
  "reasoning": "Redacted SSN and credit card numbers from PDF document",
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 150,
    "completion_tokens": 45,
    "total_tokens": 195
  }
}
```

**Note:** File redaction currently supports PDF format only.

## Help

Get help for any command:

```bash
superagent --help
superagent guard --help
superagent redact --help
```

### Claude Code Hook

Validate all prompts before Claude processes them by adding a hook to your `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "env": {
    "SUPERAGENT_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
  },
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "matcher": "*",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "superagent guard"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

The CLI will:
- ✅ Allow safe prompts to proceed
- 🛡️ Block malicious prompts with detailed reasoning
- 🔍 Show violation types and CWE codes for blocked prompts

### Environment Variables

- `SUPERAGENT_API_KEY` - Your Superagent API key (required)

Get your API key at [app.superagent.sh](https://app.superagent.sh)

## How It Works

The CLI uses [Superagent](https://superagent.sh) to analyze prompts for:

- **Security vulnerabilities** (SQL injection, command injection, etc.)
- **Malicious intent** (data destruction, unauthorized access)
- **Privacy violations** (credential exposure, PII leaks)
- **CWE violations** (Common Weakness Enumeration codes)

When used as a Claude Code hook, it automatically:
1. Receives the user's prompt via stdin
2. Sends it to Superagent for analysis
3. Returns a structured response to block or allow the prompt
4. Shows detailed violation information when blocking

## Development

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build
npm run build

# Test locally
node dist/index.js guard "test prompt"
```
