If you only have a few minutes, treat this section as your routing table. (formerly Moltbot & Clawdbot)
- Start with the topic you care about (host/VPS hardening, prompt injection and workflows, incident response, or governance and lifecycle).
- For each topic, use Rank 1 as the primary “do this first” resource.
- Add Rank 2–4 when you need deeper context, visuals, or leader‑friendly framing.
- Use the AI SAFE² tables at the end of this section to understand how these tactical guides plug into a broader lifecycle and governance model.

| Capability | How AI SAFE² Helps | Tags (Color-Coded) |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-tool safety “brain” | skill.md embeds a consistent security mindset into agents and review workflows (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, local tools). |
cross-tool (🟦), standardization (🟥) |
| Workflow-level logic firewall | Logic Guard for n8n (and similar) enforces prompt-injection checks, size limits, and DoS controls in workflows, not just models. | workflow-guard (🟩), prompt-injection (🟨) |
| Central Gateway & policy enforcement | Dockerized Gateway provides a single enforcement point across agents, with policy, logging, and model abstraction. | gateway (🟦), policy (🟥) |
| CI/CD & code scanning | scanner.py and CI examples block merges/deployments when secrets or risky patterns are detected. |
ci-cd (🟩), shift-left (🟥) |
| Governance & standards alignment | Toolkit maps to ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and provides scorecards, questionnaires, and a Risk Command Center. | governance (🟪), standards (🟥) |
| Unified risk reporting | AI SAFE² produces board-ready views tying local agents, workflows, and gateways into one risk posture. | reporting (🟧), executive (🟪) |

| Gap in Other Resources | Why Existing Guides Fall Short | How AI SAFE² Fills It | Tags (Color-Coded) |
|---|---|---|---|
| No unified safety model across multiple agents/tools | ClawdBot/MoltBot docs are per-tool and instance-specific. | skill.md + Gateway + Toolkit create a shared model and policies applied everywhere. |
cross-tool (🟦), standardization (🟥) |
| Little linkage to CI/CD and SDLC | Hardening guides don’t block bad configs at build time. | scanner.py and CI examples integrate security checks into pipelines. |
ci-cd (🟩), shift-left (🟥) |
| Weak governance and standards mapping | Most docs don’t map controls to ISO/NIST or provide board-level artifacts. | Toolkit’s policies, scorecards, and Command Center provide governance-ready outputs. | governance (🟪), standards (🟥), reporting (🟧) |
| No single risk posture view | You get checklists, not an integrated risk picture. | AI SAFE² consolidates findings from agents, workflows, and scanners into one model. | executive (🟪), reporting (🟧) |
