Skill: Review a user grant
A grant PR (usually from the add-grant skill) uses opaque human-NNN
references whose emails are KMS ciphertext in iam_data.yaml. This skill
reveals the real grant, gets an explicit human confirmation, then lands it and
applies it.
Read first:
infra/pulumi/README.md— the marin-iac stacks and thepulumi upprerequisites (you needroles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypteron the key and permission to update themarinstack).
Never approve or merge before the user confirms the decrypted grant. The whole point is that a second person sees the actual identity and access before it is applied.
1. Fetch the PR
gh pr view <n> --repo marin-community/marin --json title,body,headRefName,files,url
gh pr checkout <n> # pull the branch into the worktree
git fetch origin main
Confirm the diff only touches grant surfaces under infra/pulumi/src/iac/gcp/:
iam_data.yaml and/or a deploy-target IAM module. If it
changes anything else (code, other Pulumi resources), stop and review it as an
ordinary PR, not a grant.
2. Decrypt the changed principals
Turn the changed opaque principal references into real emails:
git diff origin/main...HEAD -- infra/pulumi/src/iac/gcp \
| uv run --package marin-iac --extra deploy \
python infra/pulumi/iam_principal.py decrypt --diff
Each output line is + user:<email> (added) or - user:<email> (removed). Map
each back to the role and resource it sits under in the diff. The decryptor
shows the principal; read the surrounding role and container
(project_grants, a specific bucket/secret/repository/service account, or a
deploy-target module) from the diff hunk.
3. Present the grant and get confirmation
Print a plain-language summary, one line per grant, and ask the user to confirm. For example:
PR #1234 grants:
+ alice@openathena.ai → roles/storage.objectViewer on project hai-gcp-models
+ alice@openathena.ai → IAP viewer on evaldash.oa.dev
- bob@openathena.ai → roles/bigquery.dataViewer (revoked)
Apply this? (yes/no)
Call out anything that looks off: a broader role than the resource needs, a principal you do not recognize, a domain wildcard, or a revocation that might cut off active access. If the user does not clearly approve, stop and report back — do not merge.
4. Approve, merge, land
After the user confirms:
gh pr review <n> --repo marin-community/marin --approve
gh pr merge <n> --repo marin-community/marin --squash
git checkout main && git pull origin main # land the merged change locally
Wait for the merge to land on main and pull it before applying, so pulumi up
runs against the committed state.
5. Apply with pulumi up
The change is not live until pulumi up runs — CI never applies. Identify the
affected stack(s) from the diff:
- Any grant surface under
infra/pulumi/src/iac/gcp/→ themarinstack ininfra/pulumi.
Prompt the user: they can run it themselves, or ask you to. If you run it, per stack:
cd infra/<dir>
pulumi stack select <stack>
pulumi preview # confirm ONLY the intended grant is added/removed, no other drift
pulumi up
Read the preview before applying. For the marin stack, expect only the
IAMMember create/delete for this grant — any NodePool or other unexpected
replace/delete means stop and reconcile, exactly as the pulumi README
warns. Once up is clean, tell the user the grant is live.
6. Confirm on the PR
Comment on the merged PR that pulumi up ran and the grant is live, so the
requester and any watcher see the change reached production, not just main:
gh pr comment <n> --repo marin-community/marin \
--body "🤖 \`pulumi up\` on the \`<stack>\` stack succeeded — the grant is live."
An agent comment must begin with 🤖 (see AGENTS.md). If pulumi up did not run
(the user is applying it themselves), skip this and let them confirm instead.
