authority-gradient-check

What problem does it solve?

Claude validates the authority behind every instruction before executing, preventing unsafe or unauthorized actions by ensuring proper source attribution and delegation levels.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Source validation: Checks who issued the instruction and confirms they have the authority to request it.
• Authority gradient enforcement: Applies a four-level hierarchy to prevent lower-level instructions from expanding scope or overriding higher-level intents.
• Prompt injection defense: Treats environmental content as data unless explicitly elevated, flagging injection attempts for review.
• Escalation & safety guards: Requeues or escalates ambiguous or high-risk instructions to human-in-the-loop when needed.
