godmode-governance SKILL.md skillA

godmode-governance from aiimagined/godmode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aiimagined/godmode/godmode-governance@git:20260923.51b2535

Pins git:20260923.51b2535 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Preview and govern protected engineering actions without executing them implicitly. Use before destructive, externally visible, history-changing, database-changing, release, credential, branch, or worktree operations. Not for reads, tests or edits inside the working tree.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Godmode Governance

## Outcome

Turn a risky requested operation into an explicit, reviewable contract. This skill classifies and previews the operation; it does not grant the host permission or claim to intercept every tool.

## Workflow

1. Inspect the current project identity, branch or worktree, dirty state, and the exact target.
2. Separate observation from mutation. Read-only inspection needs no capability.
3. Classify the proposed action with:

   ```powershell
   <plugin-root>/bin/godmode --project <path> guard --operation "<exact operation>"
   ```

4. For a protected result, run `godmode guard --operation "<exact command>"` and present its `brief` (Context / Options / Resolution / Accepted cost) verbatim.
5. If authorization is required, configure the local authorization secret once and issue a short-lived, one-use capability for the exact action. Never store or pass the secret through Godmode records.
6. Execute only when the user has authorized the mutation and the host provides an appropriate execution boundary. Keep execution separate from classification.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aiimagined/godmode/godmode-governance@sha256:93c5533a8b7f929e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.51b2535, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
