check-requester-access skillA
check-requester-access is agent-read markdown (skill) from max-sixty/tend: Check a requester's access tier. Use when a request aims you at someone else's work — close, lock, label, revert, dismiss, push..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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. These are proposals — a maintainer still decides what to merge or act on. 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
mdr add max-sixty/tend/check-requester-access@git:20260918.1ca04b2mdr add max-sixty/tend/check-requester-access@sha256:8ec9e488ab4cc2b3Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
