safety/mutation-approval SKILL.md skillA
safety/mutation-approval from frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system/safety/mutation-approval@git:20260611.98409d1Pins git:20260611.98409d1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Require explicit user confirmation before any Claw mutates user files outside ~/.starlight/. Produces a plan first; mutations are never the default. Fires on all Claws with filesystem:write_user permission. Default skill for Starlight Sentinel and Bootstrap Claw.
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
# Mutation Approval
> Plans are free. Changes cost a confirmation. That's the contract.
## When This Skill Activates
- Any Claw with `mutation_default: false` is about to execute a file operation
- A destructive or irreversible operation is about to run (delete, overwrite, move)
- Keywords: "move", "delete", "overwrite", "rename", "apply changes", "execute plan"
- Default for: Starlight Sentinel
- Activated by: Reclamation Claw, Bootstrap Claw, Memory Claw (on decay), Architect Claw
## What This Skill Does
Intercepts mutations before they execute. Presents a clear human-readable summary of what will change, requires explicit confirmation, records the approval, and passes control back to the requesting Claw. No mutation is silent. No mutation is irreversible without a logged confirmation.
## Procedures
### Procedure 1: Pre-Mutation Briefing
1. Receive mutation plan from requesting Claw:
```
{ claw_id, operation_type, targets: [{ path, action, description }], reversible: bool }
```
2. Render a human-readable summary:
```
Reclamation Claw wants to make 14 changes:
- Move 8 files from ~/Documents/old/ to ~/Documents/projects/
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system/safety/mutation-approval@sha256:e86a9ca12e0829ffThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.98409d1, 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.
