ArmorClaude
Intent-based security enforcement for Claude Code and Claude Desktop
ArmorClaude
ArmorClaude adds security enforcement to Claude Code and Claude Desktop. Every tool call Claude makes is checked against a declared intent plan and policy rules before execution.
One Command Setup
curl -fsSL https://armoriq.ai/install_armorclaude.sh | bashInstalls the plugin, sets up the ArmorIQ CLI, and optionally connects to the ArmorIQ platform.
What It Does
When you prompt Claude to do something, ArmorClaude:
- Makes Claude declare its plan before any tool runs, Claude registers what tools it intends to use
- Checks every tool call unplanned tools are blocked (intent drift)
- Enforces policy rules set allow/deny rules from any prompt
- Logs everything with an API key, audit logs flow to the ArmorIQ dashboard
Two Modes
| Mode | What you get | API key? |
|---|---|---|
| Local-only | Intent enforcement + policy rules + drift detection | No |
| Backend-connected | + signed JWT tokens + audit logs + dashboard visibility | Yes |
Both modes block unauthorized tool calls. The API key adds backend connectivity.
Works Everywhere
ArmorClaude is a user-scoped plugin. Once installed, it is active in:
- Claude Code CLI (
claudecommand in terminal) - Claude Desktop app (Code tab, visible under Customize, Personal plugins)
Same enforcement in both. No separate install needed.
