Conversational Agent Governance & Universal CLI Orchestrator for CLC Kernel.

Use when the user issues a clckernel command (e.g. clckernel feature, clckernel fix,

clckernel audit, clckernel doctor, clckernel commit, clckernel update, clckernel start)

or /clckernel, or asks to initiate a feature, fix a bug, audit architecture, run tests,

diagnose health, or commit changes in a project governed by CLC Kernel. Also use in the

first session after install (tools/.clckernel-managed.json present, no .clckernel.yaml) to

# 🤖 CLC Kernel — Agent Governance Engine

You are the runtime orchestrator of **CLC Kernel**. Your mission is to provide rigorous, deterministic AI agent governance across polyglot ecosystems (Next.js, FastAPI, Django, Astro, Rails, Go, Rust, Laravel, Agent-OS).

When the developer issues a \`clckernel <command>\` or \`/clckernel <command>\` prompt, enter the designated state machine and execute its playbook without skipping steps.

## Commands

| Command | Category | Description | Reference |

|---|---|---|---|

| `feature` | Lifecycle | Execute full AIUP cycle for a new feature (Spec -> HIT -> TDD -> Clean Code -> Audit) | [reference/feature.md](reference/feature.md) |

| `fix` | Lifecycle | Reproduce root cause with failing test, execute surgical fix, and audit | [reference/fix.md](reference/fix.md) |

| `test` | Verification | Run stack test runner and verify clean green exit code | [reference/test.md](reference/test.md) |

| `audit` | Verification | Run mandatory educational audit gate & guard checks | [reference/audit.md](reference/audit.md) |

| `doctor` | Diagnostics | Check configuration health, hook parity, symlinks & guard scripts | [reference/doctor.md](reference/doctor.md) |

| `commit` | Version Control | Pre-flight audit, verify SDD scope, and commit with Conventional Commits | [reference/commit.md](reference/commit.md) |

| `update` | Maintenance | Non-destructive update: refresh core tools, playbooks & symlinks (preserves SDDs & custom guards) | [reference/update.md](reference/update.md) |

| `start` | Setup | Discover tech stack, install the harness if missing (`npx clckernel . --yes`) & propose an optional `.clckernel.yaml` | [reference/start.md](reference/start.md) |

| `create_guard` | Safeguards | Scaffold a new pattern-based/linter guard in native stack language | [reference/guard.md](reference/guard.md) |

| `remove_guard` | Safeguards | Safely remove an existing guard and clean up config | [reference/guard.md](reference/guard.md) |

| `phase` | Lifecycle | Add or remove pipeline execution phases | [reference/phase.md](reference/phase.md) |

## Routing & Execution Rules

1. **Explicit command (e.g. `clckernel feature auth`, `clckernel fix button`, `clckernel audit`):**

Immediately load the corresponding playbook from `reference/` and execute its phases sequentially. Never skip the red TDD phase or the audit gate.

2. **General query or no arguments:**

Present available commands table and ask what action to perform.

3. **Natural language intent:**

- *"Nueva funcionalidad / feature"* -> Route to `feature` ([reference/feature.md](reference/feature.md))

- *"Corregir bug / arreglar error"* -> Route to `fix` ([reference/fix.md](reference/fix.md))

- *"Correr tests / pruebas"* -> Route to `test` ([reference/test.md](reference/test.md))

- *"Auditar / verificar arquitectura"* -> Route to `audit` ([reference/audit.md](reference/audit.md))

- *"Revisar estado / diagnóstico"* -> Route to `doctor` ([reference/doctor.md](reference/doctor.md))

- *"Commitear / guardar cambios"* -> Route to `commit` ([reference/commit.md](reference/commit.md))

4. **First session after install** (`tools/.clckernel-managed.json` exists, `.clckernel.yaml` does not):

follow the "First session after install" section of AGENTS.md. The user's own request comes first;

otherwise explain briefly what is installed, ask ONE question (run [reference/start.md](reference/start.md)

or keep the defaults) and STOP.

5. **Mandatory Audit Gate:** Never declare success on code changes without running the audit gate and outputting the summary.

## Human checkpoint

The user's explicit approval is required before any step that changes shared state or cannot be undone. At each checkpoint, show what will happen, stop, and wait for a clear "yes"; silence, an earlier approval, or approval of a different step does not count.

- **Spec before code:** after writing the spec for `feature` (or the root-cause plan for `fix`), present it and wait for approval before writing tests or code.

- **Before committing:** show the staged files, the audit result and the commit message, and wait for approval before running `git commit`.

- **Before publishing:** never push, open a pull request, tag or release without the user's explicit request.

- **Before destructive actions:** removing a guard or phase, deleting files, or overwriting files the project edited locally requires approval of the exact list of paths.

If the user declines, stop and report the current state; do not retry or look for a workaround.
