triggers-and-applygates

triggers-and-applygates is a skill for Claude Code from confighub/confighub-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (4,255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A policy tool for ConfigHub that controls whether configuration checks block an apply, show a warning, or require approval. An ApplyGate blocks a change, while an ApplyWarning reports a problem without blocking it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or diagnose validation policies, switch checks between blocking and advisory modes, require approval, and inspect warnings or blocked units.
Why use it?
It turns configuration checks from advice into rules that can stop unsafe changes. It also helps explain why a configuration unit cannot be applied.

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

triggers-and-applygates 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 2d 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 — 261 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

triggers-and-applygates

Execution mode: follow references/execution-modes.md. This Skill grants no automatic tool permission. After reading current policy and exact scope, standalone use submits one requested Trigger, Filter, attachment, or native approval command to the host permission system; an external overlay may stop it before Bash.

Make validation enforced, not advisory. Without Triggers, vet-* functions are suggestions; with Triggers, they either block the apply path (a ValidationError) or flag it without blocking (a ValidationWarning) — see Blocking vs warning.

When to use

  • Setting up a new Space (or retrofitting existing Spaces) and the user wants policy to be enforced.
  • User asks "how do I make sure bad config can't be deployed?", "wire up schema validation", "add a policy", "require approval before apply".
  • User is diagnosing a Unit that won't apply and the reason might be a ValidationError, or wants to see what non-blocking ValidationWarnings a Unit carries.
  • User wants a check to advise rather than block (a --warn Trigger producing ValidationWarnings), or to flip an existing check between blocking and advisory.
  • Migrating validation from ad-hoc cub function vet vet-* calls to automatic enforcement.

Do not load for

  • One-off validation runs (use cub-mutate or a direct cub function vet vet-schemas …).
  • Authoring YAML (use confighub-core).
  • Fixing the config itself — this skill diagnoses and sets up gates; fixing is cub-mutate.

Preflight gates

  1. cub auth status succeeds — it contacts the server's /me endpoint to confirm the token is still valid (not just local login state). If it fails, ask the user to run cub auth login (an interactive browser sign-in an agent cannot complete).
  2. User has write permission on the platform Space (or whichever Space will hold Triggers) and on the target application Spaces.
  3. Confirm with the user: should Triggers be centralized in a platform Space, or do they already have a different convention? Default recommendation is platform.

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.
