pre-action-interceptors skillA
pre-action-interceptors is agent-read markdown (skill) from bitterbot-ai/bitterbot-desktop: Use when a tool error begins with "INTERCEPTOR:", a sent message was silently hedged or rewritten, or the user asks about active guards or blocked actions. Not for ordinary tool errors..
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
# Pre-action interceptors (PLAN-20)
You have a layer of **deterministic pre-action interceptors** that sit between your candidate tool calls and their execution. They are skill-owned guardrails that read your current state (hormonal, GCCRF, channel, recent turns) and may rewrite, inject context into, require a prerequisite for, or block any tool call you propose. They are not bugs in the tool; they are intentional behaviour.
## Reading a directive
When you see a tool error that begins with `INTERCEPTOR:` followed by a structured directive such as:
```
INTERCEPTOR: recall-before-claim: ground the assertion "X" before sending
BEFORE you call `send_message` again, you MUST first call:
tool: memory_search
args: {"query": "X", "limit": 5}
```
that is **not a failure**. It is a deterministic instruction from your skill system telling you to run the named tool first, then re-evaluate whether the original action still applies. Follow it without commentary; the user does not need to see the directive.

How to install
mdr add bitterbot-ai/bitterbot-desktop/pre-action-interceptors@git:20260920.a205fe6mdr add bitterbot-ai/bitterbot-desktop/pre-action-interceptors@sha256:71750164b4ca6034Pin 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.
