pipebuilder

A settings file that defines which project files and directories agents are not allowed to edit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deny edits to files such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, skill directories, agent settings, and Pipebuilder's generated state.
Why use it?
It protects instructions, skill definitions, settings, and generated pipeline files from accidental changes.

Grade B, and why

pipebuilder scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
