skills/thumbgate-blocked/SKILL.md
Show ThumbGate's enforcement record — how many risky actions were actually blocked versus warned, which gates fire most, the tokens/damage saved, and the full feedback to check to rejection pipeline. Reads live enforcement counters via the gate_stats and enforcement_matrix MCP tools (CLI fallback `npx thumbgate gate-stats`). Use when the user says "what has ThumbGate blocked", "show gate stats", "is enforcement working", "how many tokens did we save", "show the enforcement matrix", or "what got stopped". Do NOT use to list rule DEFINITIONS that exist (use the thumbgate-rules skill), to create a new rule (use the thumbgate-guard skill), or to check whether ThumbGate is installed and wired (use the thumbgate-doctor skill).

Show the enforcement record: how many risky actions were blocked vs warned, which gates fire most, and the full feedback → check → rejection pipeline. Each block is a repeat mistake stopped before it spent tokens or did damage.
This skill wraps existing ThumbGate capability and adds no new logic — it reads the live enforcement counters.
gate_stats MCP tool: blocked count, warned count, and the top
gates by hits. (CLI fallback: npx thumbgate gate-stats.)enforcement_matrix MCP tool: feedback-pipeline stats, active
pre-action checks, and the rejection ledger with revival conditions.Field-by-field meanings (blocked vs warned, the rejection ledger, revival conditions) are in references/enforcement-fields.md.
Input: "is ThumbGate actually blocking anything? how many tokens did we save?"
Action: call gate_stats for the counters and enforcement_matrix for the pipeline, then:
14 blocks, 3 warns in the last 30 days. Top gate:
no-force-push-main(6 hits). Estimated ~9k tokens saved from re-runs avoided. 1 archived gate is one strike from revival.
gate_stats / enforcement_matrix unreachable: fall back to npx thumbgate gate-stats, then
run the thumbgate-doctor skill to confirm the MCP server and hooks are live.gate_stats (or the npx thumbgate gate-stats fallback), not estimates.enforcement_matrix, not just the headline block count.tools
List the active ThumbGate prevention rules, reliability rules, and the promoted lessons behind them, so the user can see which guardrails are currently protecting this project and WHY each one exists. Reads the live rule and lesson stores via the prevention_rules, get_reliability_rules, and search_lessons MCP tools (CLI fallback `npx thumbgate rules`). Use when the user says "what is ThumbGate protecting me from", "show my rules", "show my gates", "what has the agent learned", "list active guardrails", or "what's blocked here". Do NOT use to CREATE a new rule (use the thumbgate-guard skill), to see runtime enforcement counts of what actually fired (use the thumbgate-blocked skill), or to diagnose whether ThumbGate is wired up at all (use the thumbgate-doctor skill).
tools
Inspect this repo's branch and release governance (protected branches, release rules, protected-file globs) and, only when the user explicitly approves, grant a scoped, time-limited exception so a protected-file edit or publish can proceed under audit. Reads posture via the get_branch_governance MCP tool and records a narrow, expiring approval via the approve_protected_action MCP tool. Use when the user says "is main protected", "show branch governance", "what am I blocked from editing", "approve this protected change", or "let me edit a protected file just this once". Do NOT use to disable protection wholesale, to grant broad or standing exceptions, or to diagnose hook wiring (use the thumbgate-doctor skill) — this skill is for narrow, temporary, audited approvals only.
tools
Turn the agent's most recent mistake into an enforced ThumbGate prevention rule (a PreToolUse block gate) so the same bad tool call is intercepted before it runs again, in this and every future session across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Amp, and Cline. Captures the failure with the capture_feedback MCP tool, then force-promotes it via `npx thumbgate force-gate` so it is enforced, not just logged. Use when the user says "guard against this", "block this from happening again", "never do that again", "make that a rule", "stop the agent from repeating that", or right after a bad action or thumbs-down that should become a hard rule. Do NOT use to merely log a thumbs-up/down without enforcement (use the thumbgate-feedback skill), to recall prior context before starting work (use the Agent Memory skill), or to list rules that already exist (use the thumbgate-rules skill).
tools
Health-check whether ThumbGate is actually wired into this agent — PreToolUse/SessionStart hooks installed, MCP server reachable, lesson store present, statusline, and overall agent-readiness — then report exactly what to fix. Runs the existing `npx thumbgate doctor` audit and the check_operational_integrity MCP tool. Use when the user says "is ThumbGate wired up", "thumbgate doctor", "check my guardrails are installed", "why aren't my gates firing", "is the MCP server connected", or "agent readiness". Do NOT use to view rules (use the thumbgate-rules skill), to view what was blocked (use the thumbgate-blocked skill), or to capture a new rule (use the thumbgate-guard skill) — this skill only diagnoses setup and wiring.
