Review or plan changes that affect permissions, security boundaries, sensitive operations, external effects, or safety constraints.
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
# scope-safety-guard ## Purpose During Development Use this skill as a mandatory safety review layer whenever a change can affect permissions, security boundaries, external effects, sensitive operations, or generated guidance that could drive unsafe behavior. This is a reusable development-time reasoning framework. It is not runtime code and must not be coupled into the product being reviewed. ## When To Apply - changes to auth, authorization, policy, permissions, or safety checks - changes that add or alter network access, file writes, execution, or other side effects - changes that generate recommended actions for users or downstream agents - PR review for any security-sensitive path ## What To Inspect - repository safety and compliance guidance in `AGENTS.md` - the policy or guard modules touched by the change - integration points that can bypass safety checks - fallback paths and error paths - tests for denied, out-of-scope, or unsafe scenarios ## Rules To Enforce - safety checks must be explicit and consistently applied - side effects must respect repository boundaries and permissions - fallback behavior must not weaken safety guarantees …

How to install
mdr add polakinio/ai-engineering-playbook/scope-safety-guard@sha256:a719b671b9b76badThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.5b0dd88, 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.
