bridge-promote — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited bridge-promote (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Routes commits from user/* to the right upstream based on scope: frontmatter (or path inference). See CLAUDE.md § Tier Model.
| Commit scope | Goes to | How |
|---|---|---|
scope: core (or unset, on CORE-allowlist path) | the upstream with `scope: core` (e.g. bks-lab/open-bridge:main) plus any org/personal overlay that also carries it | Cherry-pick to local development, then PR to the OSS upstream |
scope: org | the upstream with `scope: org` only (your org overlay, e.g. <your-org>/<your-bridge>:development) | Cherry-pick + PR to that repo, unless it is a flat mirror (below): then refuse and export |
scope: personal | the upstream with `scope: personal` only (your personal overlay) | Same as org: cherry-pick + PR, or refuse and export for a flat mirror |
scope: user / private | stays local on user/{name} | No-op |
Destination selection is by SCOPE, never by `role:` alone. For a commit/file of scope S, the destination is the bridge-config.yaml.upstreams[] entry whose `scope:` field == `S` — core→the scope: core upstream, org→the scope: org upstream, personal→the scope: personal upstream. Two upstreams may now share role: org-overlay (an org overlay and a personal overlay), so role no longer identifies a unique destination.
FAIL-CLOSED guard (mandatory). Before routing, count the upstreams with role: org-overlay. If that count is > 1 and the routing would still pick any destination by role (rather than by a matching scope: field), ABORT — do not guess. Message: "Ambiguous routing: N upstreams carry `role: org-overlay` but a destination is being chosen by role. Route by `upstreams[].scope` (org→`scope: org`, personal→`scope: personal`) instead. Aborting rather than risk sending personal PII to the org overlay or customer content to the personal repo."
HARD GATE — personal upstream stays disabled for real promotes until proven. Do not enable the scope: personal upstream for a non---dry-run promote until a --dry-run routing matrix shows every scope: personal file routed to the personal upstream and every scope: org file routed to the org upstream, with zero cross-routes. Until that dry-run is green, treat scope: personal files as local-only.
FLAT-MIRROR GUARD (mandatory, per overlay destination). An overlay repo that carries overlay.manifest.yaml is read by scripts/overlay.py only below its defaults.source_root (tree/ when unset). A cherry-pick writes the same path it had here, so the file lands at the overlay's repo root and no consumer ever sees it, without any error. Before routing (workflow Step 0b), per overlay destination, against the ref Step 0 fetched:
python3 scripts/overlay-export.py --check-ref {name}/{branch}Any non-zero exit means REFUSE that destination (3: flat mirror, 2: the ref does not resolve, so the fetch failed or the name is wrong): do not cherry-pick, re-apply, or open a PR there, not even for scope: core commits. Tell the user to build the mirror instead with python3 scripts/overlay-export.py --target <overlay checkout> --scope <tier> --dry-run (then without --dry-run), after pulling any colleague PR against tree/ back first. Other destinations still ship. Recipe: docs/org-overlays.md § Authoring an overlay.
If you don't have an org overlay configured, only scope: core commits get promoted; scope: org / scope: personal commits stay on your user branch.

user/*. Refuses on development or main.bridge-config.yaml.upstreams[] defines available targets — thetemplate ships the shared OSS upstream (bks-lab/open-bridge, contribute: true) by default; optionally a <your-org>/<your-bridge> overlay.
gh authenticated. Whether a fork is needed isDECIDED, not assumed: gh api repos/<repo> --jq .permissions.push — true pushes the branch straight to the upstream, false takes the fork route. No push access to the upstream required — open-bridge PRs go fork-based (gh repo fork once, push the branch to your fork, gh pr create --repo bks-lab/open-bridge). See the bridge-contribute skill (skills/bridge-contribute/references/workflow.md § Step 5).

python3 scripts/no-scrub-leak.py {outgoing files} — scripts/no-scrub-leak.pyis a shared repo-root utility shipped with the Bridge repo itself, not a file inside this skill's own directory. It checks universal classes (absolute user paths, key/token shapes) plus your own roster from scripts/leak-patterns-internal.txt (you maintain your customer/PII regexes there; the shipped scanner cannot know them).
rules/promote-safety.md — the OSS upstreamuses the strictest blocklist (no org/customer/personal leaks); your org overlay may use a relaxed one (customer refs OK, personal blocked). See bridge-config.yaml.promote.content_blocklist.
REFUSE path: personal-PII or roster hits exclude the affected files/commits from the PR — no override flag. Remediation: adapt via /contribute --adapt and re-scan, or drop them. Clean items still ship.
