# `write.repository.project`

**Commit to the repository it was pointed at.** Verb `write`, object `repository`, reach `project`, family `code`. Its effect is **with-effort**: undone at a cost.

## In 4 of 9 published shapes

|  | Deployment shape | Barrier there | Known by | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ● | Claude Code on the web (a remote session container) | none (not a control) | observed | a repository is attached and writable |
| ● | Claude Code (the CLI, on your own machine) | none (not a control) | derived |  |
| ● | Claude Code (the CLI, on your own machine) | none (not a control) | derived |  |
| ○ | Actions runner (a hosted CI job) | boundary | observed | the checked-out tree at this ref is writable by the job |

|  | Barrier | What stands in the way | Is it a control |
|---|---|---|---|
| ● | none | nothing in the way | no |
| ◉ | expectation | a rule in prose, enforced by nobody | no |
| ◐ | setting | a switch the agent's own account can flip | no |
| ○ | boundary | enforced above the grant, out of the agent's reach | **yes** |

## What the starting mandates say about it

| The mandate says | Which mandates |
|---|---|
| **authorised** | A coding assistant on my machine, A coding assistant in a container on the web |
| **refused** | none |
| **unstated** | The desktop app, with local tools switched on, Chat, with connectors switched on, Chat in the browser, nothing connected, A CI job on a hosted runner, A browser extension I installed, A scheduled job under a service account |

**Unstated is not authorised.** A mandate that never mentioned a capability did not authorise it, and the delta on every example page counts it as excess and says which kind it was.

## What would move it to the fourth barrier

| What | What it costs | The barrier afterwards |
|---|---|---|
| none needed for most work; a review before merge is the control | a reviewer's time | setting |

> **This is a published reduction, not a recommendation.** Whether it is worth doing depends on the assets and the consequences, which are not in this document and are not this site's to guess.
