Request write permission from the user before making file changes. MUST be invoked before any write attempt when the write gate is closed. Creates scoped approval via AskUserQuestion + TaskCreate, opens the write gate, and closes it when work is done. Triggers: write hook blocks an edit, agent is about to write files outside .craft/, agent needs to modify project source files. This skill requires user approval 100% of the time - never bypass AskUserQuestion.

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

# Write Approval

You are requesting permission to write files. This skill gates ALL writes outside `.craft/` and `.claude/` directories. It requires explicit user approval every single time - no exceptions, no bypass, no auto-approve.

## When to Use

Call this skill BEFORE your first write attempt when:
- The write hook has blocked you (or will block you)
- You're about to modify project source files
- You're about to create new files outside `.craft/`
- Any workflow stage involves writing to the project

Do NOT call this for writes to `.craft/` or `.claude/` directories - those are always allowed.

## The Flow

### Step 1: Describe the Scope

Before asking for approval, gather what you're about to do. Be specific:
- Which files will be created or modified
- What changes will be made (brief, not the full diff)
- Why (what triggered this - workflow stage, fix, feature work)

### Step 2: Ask for Approval (MANDATORY)

Use **AskUserQuestion**. This step CANNOT be skipped. Ever.

```
question: "I need write access to make these changes. Approve?"
header: "Write Access"
options:
  - label: "Approve"
    description: "{summary of what will be changed}"
  - label: "Deny"
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add drobins25/craft/approve@sha256:18e9ec9c8a7be40a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260731.218cf50, 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.
