Perplexity Policy Guardrails

About

Perplexity Policy Guardrails provides a comprehensive security and quality framework for developers building with the Perplexity API. It automates the detection of hardcoded API keys, enforces strict TypeScript patterns, and implements Policy-as-Code using OPA (Open Policy Agent) to prevent environment misconfigurations. By integrating pre-commit hooks and CI/CD checks, this skill ensures that Perplexity integrations follow architectural best practices, maintain high security standards, and prevent costly runtime errors or rate-limit violations.

• Pre-commit hooks to block hardcoded Perplexity API keys
• Policy-as-Code (OPA) for environment-specific configuration validation
• Automated CI/CD workflows for policy enforcement
• 983 GitHub stars
• Runtime guardrails to prevent dangerous operations in production
• Custom ESLint rules for secret detection and API best practices

Use Cases

• Securing Perplexity API keys in enterprise-grade repositories
• Standardizing Perplexity client initialization via singleton patterns
