-AI-generated code has **1.7× more issues** and **2.74× more security vulnerabilities** than human code ([CodeRabbit 2025](https://www.coderabbit.ai/)). Existing linters catch human mistakes — `ai-guard` catches the patterns AI tools consistently get wrong: empty catch blocks, floating promises, async array misuse, and more.
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-ai-guard
-```
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### ESLint 9 (Flat Config) — `eslint.config.js`
-
-```javascript
-import aiGuard from "eslint-plugin-ai-guard";
-
-export default [
-  {
-    plugins: { "ai-guard": aiGuard },
-    rules: { ...aiGuard.configs.recommended.rules }
-  }
-];
-```
-
-### ESLint 8 (Legacy Config) — `.eslintrc.json`
-
-```json
-{
-  "plugins": ["ai-guard"],
-  "extends": ["plugin:ai-guard/recommended"]
-}
-```
-
-That's it. **Zero configuration required.**
-
-## 🧪 Validated Against Real Repositories
-
-We tested `eslint-plugin-ai-guard` against two real-world codebases to ensure high signal-to-noise ratio:
-
-1. **Next.js Portfolio Website:** Found multiple un-escaped entities (caught by native plugins) but **0 false positives** on AI Guard rules, proving it respects human-written React/Next code.
-2. **CodeCrafters Admin Backend (Express):** Caught exactly the sort of generative flaws the plugin was designed for:
-   - **SQL Injections:** Flagged dynamic string templates used to build SQL queries (`ai-guard/no-sql-string-concat`).
-   - **Leaked Secrets:** Caught mock/test passwords (`process.env` equivalents not used) (`ai-guard/no-hardcoded-secret`).
-   - **O(n) Latency Issues:** Detected sequential awaits inside `for...of` loops parsing database rows (`ai-guard/no-await-in-loop`).
-   - **Floating Promises:** Found unhandled promises inside API handlers (`ai-guard/no-floating-promise`).
-
-## 🎬 Real Workspace Demo
-
-See how `ai-guard` catches a common AI-generated async bug that silent failures in production:
-
-```typescript
-// ❌ BAD: AI often forgets to await or wrap in Promise.all
-const userIds = [1, 2, 3];
-userIds.map(async (id) => {
-  return await fetchUser(id);
-}); 
-// ⚠️ ai-guard flags: Async callback passed to Array.map(). Returns Promise[], not values.
-
-// ✅ GOOD: ai-guard recommended fix
-const users = await Promise.all(userIds.map(async (id) => {
-  return await fetchUser(id);
-}));
-// ✨ ai-guard: No issues found.
-```
-
-### Terminal Output
-
-![ai-guard linting demo](./assets/demo.png)
-
-*The terminal output above shows `ai-guard` catching multiple AI-generated anti-patterns in a single run.*
-
-## Rules
-
-### 🎯 Error Handling
-
-- **`ai-guard/no-empty-catch`** (Error)
-  Disallow empty catch blocks. AI tools frequently generate try/catch with empty bodies that silently swallow errors.
-- **`ai-guard/no-broad-exception`** (Warn)
-  Disallow catching `any` or `unknown` without instance narrowing. AI tools default to `catch (e: any)` which obscures the underlying failure.
-
-### ⏱️ Async Stability
-
-- **`ai-guard/no-async-array-callback`** (Error)
-  Disallow async functions in `.map()`, `.filter()`, etc. AI tools frequently suggest `array.map(async ...)` expecting resolved values, creating silent bugs.
-- **`ai-guard/no-floating-promise`** (Error)
-  Require awaiting or handling promises. AI tools frequently generate un-awaited async calls that silently swallow rejections.
-- **`ai-guard/no-await-in-loop`** (Warn)
-  Disallow sequential `await` inside loops. AI tools frequently use `for (const x of y) await z(x)` causing O(n) latency instead of parallel `Promise.all()`.
-
-### 🛡️ Security
-
-- **`ai-guard/no-hardcoded-secret`** (Error)
-  Disallow hardcoded keys/passwords. AI tools frequently provide examples with placeholder secrets that accidentally make it into production.
-- **`ai-guard/no-eval-dynamic`** (Error)
-  Disallow dynamic `eval()` or `new Function()`.
-- **`ai-guard/no-sql-string-concat`** (Error)
-  Disallow variable concatenation/interpolation in SQL queries. AI tools frequently generate dangerous code enabling SQL injection.
-- **`ai-guard/require-auth-middleware`** (Warn)
-  Enforce authentication middleware on Express/Fastify routes. AI tools frequently generate unprotected endpoints exposing sensitive data.
-
-### Configs
-
-| Config | Description |
-| --- | --- |
-| `recommended` | Most impactful rules at `error` — works with zero configuration |
-| `strict` | All rules at `error` — for teams that want maximum coverage |
-| `security` | Security-focused rules only — for AppSec teams |
-
-## Why This Exists
-
-AI coding assistants generate code that **looks correct** but has subtle structural issues:
-
-- 🕳️ **Empty catch blocks** — errors vanish silently
-- ⏳ **`array.map(async ...)`** — returns `Promise[]`, not resolved values
-- 🔥 **Floating promises** — `fetchData()` without `await` = silent failures
-
-These patterns pass TypeScript and existing linters. `ai-guard` catches them.
-
-## Supported Environments
-
-- **ESLint** 8.x and 9.x (flat config)
-- **Node.js** ≥ 18
-- **TypeScript** and JavaScript
-

+  <strong>The ESLint plugin that catches the bugs AI tools introduce.<br>Zero config. Instant results. 17 rules targeting AI-specific patterns.</strong>
+</p>
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 The Problem
+
+AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) are now used by **90%+ of developers** — but the code they generate has a problem: **it looks correct and still passes TypeScript checks, while hiding real bugs.**
+
+Studies show AI-generated code has:
+
+- **1.7× more issues** per PR than human code *(CodeRabbit, 470 OSS PRs, 2025)*
+- **2.74× more XSS vulnerabilities** *(CodeRabbit, 2025)*
+- **45% of AI code** introduces at least one security vulnerability *(Veracode, 2025)*
+
+The patterns are consistent and predictable:
+
+| Pattern | What AI Does | Consequence |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Floating promises** | `fetchData()` without `await` | Silent failures in production |
+| **Empty catch blocks** | `catch (e) {}` | Errors disappear, nothing is logged |
+| **`array.map(async ...)`** | Returns `Promise[]`, not resolved values | Silent data corruption |
+| **Missing auth middleware** | Routes without authentication | Unauthorized access |
+| **SQL string concat** | `"SELECT * WHERE id = " + userId` | SQL injection |
+| **Hardcoded secrets** | API keys in source code | Credential leaks |
+
+**Standard ESLint, TypeScript, and existing linters do not catch these.** They were built for human mistakes. AI makes different mistakes — consistently, at scale.
+
+`eslint-plugin-ai-guard` was built specifically for this gap.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ The Solution
+
+`ai-guard` uses AST-based static analysis to detect **17 AI-specific bug patterns** across error handling, async correctness, and security — before they hit production.
+
+It works in two modes:
+
+1. **Zero-config CLI** — `npx ai-guard run` scans any project instantly, no setup required
+2. **ESLint plugin** — integrates into your existing linting pipeline and editor
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start — Zero Config
+
+No installation, no setup. Run this in any JavaScript or TypeScript project:
+
+```bash
+npx ai-guard run
+```
+
+**Example output:**
+
+```
+  AI GUARD RESULTS
+
+  ✔ Scanned:  src/
+  ✔ Duration: 843ms
+
+  Total Issues: 12 errors · 8 warnings

+
+## 📦 Install (Full ESLint Integration)
+
+```bash
+npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-ai-guard
+```
+
+> **Peer dependency:** ESLint ≥ 8.0.0
+
+### ESLint v9 — `eslint.config.mjs`
+
+```javascript
+import aiGuard from 'eslint-plugin-ai-guard';
+
+export default [
+  {
+    plugins: { 'ai-guard': aiGuard },
+    rules: { ...aiGuard.configs.recommended.rules },
+  },
+  {
+    ignores: ['.next/**', 'dist/**', 'build/**', 'coverage/**'],
+  },
+];
+```
+
+### ESLint v8 — `.eslintrc.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugins": ["ai-guard"],
+  "extends": ["plugin:ai-guard/recommended"],
+  "ignorePatterns": [".next/", "dist/", "build/", "coverage/"]
+}
+```
+
+That's it. **Zero configuration required to get started.**
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ CLI Commands
+
+The `ai-guard` CLI makes onboarding instant. No ESLint knowledge needed.
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `ai-guard run` | Scan your project with zero config. The most important command. |
+| `ai-guard run --strict` | Use the strict preset — all 17 rules at `error` |
+| `ai-guard run --security` | Security rules only |
+| `ai-guard run --json` | Machine-readable JSON output for CI |
+| `ai-guard init` | Auto-configure your ESLint config (generates or patches safely) |
+| `ai-guard doctor` | Diagnose setup issues with exact fix commands |
+| `ai-guard preset` | Interactively choose and apply a preset |
+| `ai-guard ignore` | Add default ignore patterns (`.next`, `dist`, `build`) |
+| `ai-guard baseline` | Save current issues; future runs show only *new* problems |
+
+### Gradual Adoption (Recommended for Existing Projects)
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Scan your project
+npx ai-guard run
+
+# Step 2: Save the current state as a baseline
+npx ai-guard baseline --save
+
+# Step 3: From now on, only new issues will be flagged
+npx ai-guard baseline --check
+```
+
+This means you can adopt `ai-guard` on a large existing codebase **without being overwhelmed** on day one.

+
+## 🧠 Why This Exists
+
+AI models generate code **statistically from training data** — not semantically from understanding your system. They make the same structural mistakes, consistently, at scale:
+
+- They add `async` by default even when not needed
+- They generate `catch (e) {}` placeholders and never fill them in
+- They write SQL queries by string concatenation because that's the pattern they've seen
+- They omit auth middleware because examples they trained on often don't show the full middleware chain
+
+These patterns are **static-detectable** using AST rules. You don't need AI to lint AI code — you need fast, offline, zero-latency static analysis that catches these specific patterns before they hit production.
+
+`ai-guard` is that tool.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 CI Integration
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/ai-guard.yml
+name: AI Guard
+
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  ai-guard:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+        with:
+          node-version: 20
+      - run: npm ci
+      - run: npx ai-guard run --json --max-warnings 0
+```
+
+Or use the ESLint integration in your existing `eslint` CI step — no separate job needed.
