change-request-gate

change-request-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bartoszarendt/agenticloop. It costs 59 tokens per session (802 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review gate for tasks that change an agreed architecture, process, plan, or repository decision. It requires the decision to be documented and approved before implementation begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps classify change requests, update decision records, hold tasks in a blocked state, and continue implementation only after human approval.
Why use it?
It prevents code changes from proceeding while an important project decision is still unreviewed or unclear.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

change-request-gate scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 3d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Change-request gate

A change-request task cannot go straight to implementation. In files-backed task records this is typically type: change-request; in GitHub-backed task records it is typically the type:change-request label. It changes a locked decision, so the decision must be reviewed as documentation before code follows it.

Gate

  1. The maintainer drafts or updates the affected durable docs. Use [[decision-capture]] when the decision should be tracked under .agenticloop/decisions/. Use an ADR only when the decision earns one.
  2. The docs-only change is reviewed by a human.
  3. A human marks the task approved in the active backend.
  4. Implementation proceeds through [[task-record-contract]] and [[review-and-accept]].

Until approval is present, hold the task in [[blocked-state]] with category contract.

Backend projections

Neutral rule

  • Classify the task record as a change request before implementation starts.
  • Hold the task in blocked or contract state until human approval is durably recorded.
  • Human-authored work enters the loop only after the task record is clearly marked ready for the agent roles that will continue it.

GitHub projection

  • Classify with the configured type:change-request label.
  • Record approval with the configured approved label.
  • Until approval exists, keep the task blocked under [[blocked-state]] with category contract.
  • A human-authored issue enters the loop only when it carries agent-ready and the configured grouping label when the project uses grouping.

Files projection

  • Classify the task file with frontmatter such as type: change-request.
  • Record approval with frontmatter such as approved: true after the human approves the docs-only change.
  • Until approval exists, keep the task file in status: blocked with block_category: contract and explain the hold under ## Comments or a blocker section.
  • A human-authored task file enters the loop only when it is no longer draft, the scope is complete, and status: agent-ready is set. If it is a change request, the approval gate still applies before implementation.

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.
