MANUAL, HUMAN-ONLY skill. Force-merges every open PR labeled admin-bypass directly to the trunk branch, bypassing the merge queue and required checks via GitHub admin override (`gh pr merge --admin`). Do not auto-invoke this skill from a natural-language request, a description match, or another agent's delegation. Only run this skill when a human has typed its literal slash command themselves in the current turn (the exact form depends on how it was installed — see the "STOP" section). See…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# admin-bypass-sweep

Generic across any repo whose PRs are merged with `gh pr merge` — the
commands below take `<owner>/<repo>` as an argument, nothing here is tied
to a specific repo or tool.

## STOP — read this before doing anything

This skill exists to bypass CI and branch protection and merge directly to
the trunk branch. That is inherently dangerous, so before Step 4 (the
actual merge step) runs, both of the following must be true. Do not refer
to these as "gates" or by number when talking to the human — just check
them and act, the way you would check any other precondition.

**It must have been invoked by a literal, explicit slash command that a
human typed in the current message** — normally `/admin-bypass-sweep`.
Some environments install this skill under a different prefixed name (for
example a separate pipeline that prefixes every skill it installs). Check
which form is actually listed as available in the current session before
matching against it — do not guess. If you reached this skill any other
way — a natural-language request that merely sounds like "force merge the
admin-bypass PRs," a description match, a plan step, a cron/worker
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add edbertchan/catstack/admin-bypass-sweep@sha256:833f0b66a691c357

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.d61c6aa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
