Check a requester's access tier. Use when a request aims you at someone else's work — close, lock, label, revert, dismiss, push.

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

# Checking a requester's access

## Helping vs. directing

Anyone can ask for help with a problem they raise: investigating a bug, answering a question, creating an issue or PR to address it. The system prompt's merge mode governs landing the resulting work.

Directing the bot to affect someone else's work — closing, reopening, or locking issues/PRs, dismissing reviews, reverting commits, applying or removing labels, pushing commits to a PR owned by another author — requires Maintainer-tier access. Before complying, check the requester's `author_association`:

Read `references/author-association.md` for the tiers.

For Maintainer-tier requesters, proceed. For anyone else, briefly explain that a maintainer needs to make that call.

The test: "Am I helping this person with something they raised, or following a directive that affects someone else's work?"

This follows the repo > bundled rule from **First Steps** in `/tend-ci-runner:run-tend`. If a repo's `running-tend` skill explicitly authorizes an action (e.g., closing duplicate issues during triage), follow the repo-specific instruction.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add max-sixty/tend/check-requester-access@sha256:b14e38875ad7e313

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.8e7e6dd, 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.
