safety/permission-gate SKILL.md skillA
safety/permission-gate from frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system/safety/permission-gate@git:20260611.98409d1Pins git:20260611.98409d1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Gate every mutation request against the Claw's declared permission surface — fires before any write to filesystem, vault, or external system. No Claw bypasses this gate. Default skill for Starlight Sentinel and every Claw that carries filesystem or sis_vaults write permissions.
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
# Permission Gate
> Every mutation request passes through this gate. No Claw bypasses it.
## When This Skill Activates
- Any Claw attempts to write files, execute shell commands, or export data
- Keywords: "write", "move", "delete", "execute", "export", "send", "upload"
- Always active when Sentinel Claw is running
- Default for: Starlight Sentinel
## What This Skill Does
Evaluates permission requests from Claws against their declared permission surface in `CLAW.md`, the user's workspace contract, and the active safety posture. Issues a programmatic APPROVE or DENY with logged reasoning.
## Procedures
### Procedure 1: Permission Evaluation
1. Receive permission request: `{ claw_id, action_type, target, declared_reason }`
2. Load the requesting Claw's `CLAW.md` permission block
3. Check: is the requested action within the Claw's declared `permissions.*` surface?
4. Check: is the target path within the declared workspace?
5. Check: does the Claw's `mutation_default` allow this action without explicit approval?
6. If `mutation_default: false` → escalate to Procedure 2 (Mutation Approval Request)
7. If within permissions + `mutation_default: true` → APPROVE, log, return

How to install
mdr add frankxai/starlight-intelligence-system/safety/permission-gate@sha256:aca0aa93be6f245aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.98409d1, 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.
