Setup Shell

Install or refresh Agent Guard's plugin-local shell integration. Use when the user explicitly asks to enable or update shell command masking, or when a shell-integration warning directs them to rerun setup-shell.

Set Up Agent Guard Shell

Install or refresh Agent Guard shell command masking without making the user locate the versioned plugin-cache binary.

Workflow

Explain that this changes the user's shell rc and is separate from plugin hook setup.
Resolve ../../bin/agent-guard relative to this skill directory and confirm that it is executable. Use that plugin-local binary even if another agent-guard is on PATH; do not install or update a standalone copy.
Tell the user that setup-shell will update the managed block in their shell rc with command wrapping enabled by default. Obtain host approval for the home-directory write before running:
```
"<plugin-local-agent-guard>" setup-shell
```
On success, report the rc path from the command output and tell the user to restart the shell and any agent sessions launched from that shell.
If the approved write is blocked by the host sandbox, relay the exact error. Do not retry the same blocked write, choose another rc, or edit the rc by hand. Show the exact plugin-local command for the user to run directly in a terminal, wait for confirmation, and then report the required restarts.

Use setup-shell --no-command-wrapping only when the user explicitly requests the persistent opt-out. AGENT_GUARD_COMMAND_WRAPPING=off is the runtime-only opt-out.
