Files

Code Guardian creates files in the project, in the .git directory and in the home directory. This page lists them.

In the project

• .audit-log.md
• .task-journal.md
• .code-guardian-propagation.md
• .code-guardian-todo.md (plus -archiv)
• .code-guardian-evidence/<trace-id>/
• .code-guardian-deploy-report.md, .code-guardian-migration-report.md, .code-guardian-dependency-report.md
• .code-guardian-autopilot.md
• .code-guardian-scope
• .code-guardian-zelle/
• .code-guardian-rechtsbelege.md
• .code-guardian-narben.tsv
• .goals/ (goal contracts of the goalengine skill, only if you use it)

Optional configuration

• .code-guardian-deploy.yml
• .code-guardian-slop.yml
• .code-guardian-redundancy.yml
• .code-guardian-migration.yml

In the git directory

• .git/cg-frische
• .git/cg-live

In the home directory (~/.claude)

• code-guardian.conf
• code-guardian-failopen.log
• code-guardian-stopcrash.log
• code-guardian-incidents/
• skill-backups/
• goals/ (project list of the goalengine skill; stays when you remove the package)

The installer edits settings.json and creates a backup first.

Under Codex

There, the configuration lives at ~/.codex/code-guardian.conf.

In one sentence

Project state, guard configuration and defaults live in clearly named, separate files in the project, in the .git directory and in the home directory.
