Confirmation gate before any bulk delete, cleanup, or destructive operation that could result in data loss — shell-level (rm -rf, git rm, bulk sed) or brain-level (bulk forget, delete sweeps, purge-deleted, source removal, raw-SQL truncation). Presents a recoverability card and requires an explicit "yes" from the user before proceeding. Routing convention, not an operation-boundary enforcement.
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
# Data Loss Gate — Confirmation Before Destructive Operations > **Convention:** see [conventions/brain-first.md](../conventions/brain-first.md) — > inspect the actual target before proposing deletion: `get_backlinks`, > `gbrain graph <slug>`, `git log` on the underlying files. The confirmation > card below is only as good as the inspection behind it. > > **Convention:** see [_brain-filing-rules.md](../_brain-filing-rules.md) — > the post-confirmation deletion log files date-keyed under `daily/`. ## What This Is A gate that fires BEFORE any destructive operation and requires explicit user confirmation. The agent stops, presents a recoverability card, and waits. **Scope honesty:** this gate is a routing convention — the harness resolves it into context when a destructive intent matches, and a well-behaved agent follows it. It is NOT an operation-boundary enforcement: nothing in the gbrain runtime mechanically blocks a delete if the skill never loads. (A native confirm gate at the operation boundary is a filed TODO; until it lands, this convention is the line of defense.) Some CLI surfaces carry their own flag …

How to install
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/data-loss-gate@sha256:c1736e0985121e60The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
