utils-fix-permissions

utils-fix-permissions is a Servers, networking & Linux skill for AI agents, published by open-thoughts in the OpenThoughts-Agent repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates utils-fix-permissions D (59/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Fix file permissions on a directory tree on an HPC cluster (Leonardo, Jupiter, TACC, etc.) so other users can read your shared data, conda envs, or work directories. Runs `scripts/permissions/fix_permissions.sh <dir>` over SSH on the target cluster — sets directories to 755, files to 644, then restores execute bits on bin/ entries, ELF binaries, and shebang scripts, and ensures all ancestor directories are traversable (o+x). Use when another user reports "Permission denied" reading your files, after creating a new conda env or shared data dir, or when a cross-user pipeline can't access your checkpoint/ eval/trace outputs.
