Run Git and GitHub CLI commands on the host when sandboxing blocks Keychain auth, network access, or .git writes. Use for gh auth, repo/PR operations, index.lock, or permission errors; covers execution context only.
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
# GitHub Outside Sandbox 1. Start normally. Escalate only the blocked command and only within the user's authorization. 2. If sandboxed `gh auth status` fails, rerun it outside the sandbox before claiming authentication is broken. Never expose or copy tokens. 3. Run GitHub CLI network operations outside the sandbox when required: `gh repo ...`, `gh pr ...`, and related `gh` commands. 4. Run Git writes outside the sandbox when `.git` is outside writable roots or errors mention `index.lock` or `Operation not permitted`: `git add`, `git commit`, and `git push`. 5. Use the harness's official host-execution mechanism. In Codex, set `sandbox_permissions: "require_escalated"`, give a concrete `justification`, and use only a narrow safe `prefix_rule` when appropriate. 6. Never use shell wrappers, credential copying, or broad approval prefixes to bypass the sandbox. 7. Verify from the host context with `git status -sb`, `git remote -v`, and the relevant `gh ... view` command. Ask the user to authenticate only if the host-context check also fails.

How to install
mdr add davidondrej/skills/github-outside-sandbox@sha256:6c2998193728a64bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.7dce66c, 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.
