name: autofix-permission description: Fixes script permission errors by making files executable.

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

Copychmod +x ./configure

Or for multiple scripts:

Copychmod +x scripts/*.sh

Step 3: For Version Control

If using git, also update the file mode:

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

Common Scripts Needing Permissions

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