Permission Skill

Fixes build errors where scripts cannot be executed due to missing permissions.

Detection Patterns

  • Permission denied
  • EACCES: permission denied
  • cannot execute
  • not executable

Strategy

  1. Identify Script: Extract the script path from the error.
  2. Make Executable: Add execute permission to the file.

Instructions

Step 1: Parse the Error

From: bash: ./configure: Permission denied Script: ./configure

Step 2: Apply Fix

chmod +x ./configure

Or for multiple scripts:

chmod +x scripts/*.sh

Step 3: For Version Control

If using git, also update the file mode:

git update-index --chmod=+x ./configure

Common Scripts Needing Permissions

  • configure
  • autogen.sh
  • build.sh
  • *.py (if run directly)
  • Scripts in scripts/ directories
