critty-approval

critty-approval is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from crittylabs/critty. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,065 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for preparing Markdown approval requests and reading human decisions made through Critty, a local review tool. It covers actions such as pushes, pull requests, messages, releases, and deployments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe proposed operations, destinations, payloads, and effects, then interpret Critty's approval or refusal before acting.
Why use it?
It separates preparing an action from authorizing it, so an agent does not carry out an operation until a person has approved the exact details.

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

critty-approval 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 — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Approval documents

Prepare and interpret human decisions through Critty. The caller decides when approval is required, where drafts belong, and which operations are allowed. Reuse existing authorization for unchanged operations. Critty records decisions; the agent executes authorized actions.

Delegate the review loop to /critty; this is an explicit selection of Critty. Consult /critty-cli for attachment, form, and result contracts.

1. Prepare a concrete request

Complete authorized preparation and checks first. Use task-owned draft and result paths under the caller's storage convention; filenames below are examples. Keep review-only drafts outside the index.

Describe exact operations, destinations, payloads, and material effects. Combine related actions and identify dependencies, such as a separately gated branch push needed before creating a PR.

Action Identify before review
Push Repository, resolved push URLs, fully qualified source/destination refs, full commit or tag IDs, introduced changes, and CI or deployment effects.
PR, issue, comment, or message Service and destination, operation (create or edit), existing item/thread when applicable, exact title/body, and applicable recipients, labels, visibility, attachments, or scheduling.
Release or deployment Candidate identity, environment, exact notes or artifacts, ordering and dependencies, material impact, and rollback where applicable.
Local commit or application Exact reviewed changes and message or target paths; state explicitly if approval also requests execution.
AI review Tool, model, service, assignment and source snapshots sent, investigation roots, and permitted local findings destination. Distinguish local comment storage from hosted publication.

If the review will create a commit, identify it as reviewed-commit, record its full parent SHA (null for an initial commit), and attach its exact message alongside the reviewed diff. Record the resulting SHA separately after creation. For tags to create, specify the target, annotation, and signing requirements. A changed parent, diff, message, or tag input needs renewed approval.

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.
