What Guard Mode does

Guard Mode turns a device into an alert watchdog for friends who say they are leaving or ask for security mode. While active, guard-tagged sensing events trigger dramatic reactions and Telegram alerts instead of normal sensing responses.

Guard Mode is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Guard Mode comes from a repository tagged agentic-ai, ai-agents, claude-code, embedded and llm.

Excerpt

Guard Mode

Quick Start

Guard mode turns the device into an alert watchdog. When enabled, the device monitors for strangers and reacts dramatically — jolting, flashing, and verbally describing intruders. The system auto-broadcasts alerts to Telegram so friends know what's happening. All friends (enrolled faces) can toggle guard mode.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
