~Hard limits on code complexity: max function length, cyclomatic complexity thresholds, mandatory linting. The persona enforces code quality, not just suggests it.
~Sandboxing-first philosophy. Native /sandbox, devcontainers, remote droplets. Every tool call is permission-gated.
~Pre/post tool hooks for audit trails. Every file edit, every shell command gets logged and validated against security policies.
~Language-specific toolchains: ruff + oxlint for Python/JS, cargo-deny for Rust, shellcheck for scripts. Not generic advice but real tool enforcement.
~1,000 stars. Built by one of the most respected security research firms in the industry.
