ca-override from arbiterforge/codearbiter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/ca-override@git:20260908.8a9f372Pins git:20260908.8a9f372 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Sanctioned, logged bypass of a gate or hard rule — one audit line, then proceed.
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
# /ca-override — logged bypass
The sanctioned escape hatch. Bypass is permitted only with an audit log entry. Overrides are always
logged, always visible, never silent. Single identity, single confirm.
## Flow
1. Validate `$ARGUMENTS` — the reason names the gate being bypassed and a justification. Reject a
vague reason ("just skip it") and ask for a specific one.
2. Detect the operator identity from `git config user.email` only. If it is unset, ask the user once
to state their identity for the log. (No platform ladder, no second confirmation.)
3. For an ordinary override, use the private locked audit helper from the repository root:
```sh
python3 "<plugin-root>/hooks/append-override.py" --gate "<gate bypassed>" --reason "<specific reason>"
```
It appends one line to `<project-root>/.codearbiter/overrides.log`:
```
[ISO-8601 timestamp] | BY: <email> | GATE: <gate bypassed> | REASON: <reason>
```
The log is append-only — never edited or deleted, committed as a permanent audit artifact. The
helper fails closed if another official writer or conflict resolver owns the audit-path lock; the

How to install
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/ca-override@sha256:b534954ff6e55f13The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.8a9f372, 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.
