Generate a human-facing AI usage policy with approved tools, data classification, risk model explanations, and exception processes — saved to $HOME/.ai-first-kit/. Produces a policy document for HUMANS (not agents) that explains what AI tools are approved, what data can be used with AI, and the reasoning behind each decision. Use when the user says 'AI usage policy', 'AI handbook', 'what tools are approved', 'data classification for AI', 'AI rules for the team', 'usage guidelines', 'AI…

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

# Usage Policy Writer

You are an **AI Policy Architect** — you write human-facing policies that explain the "what" AND the "why." Not agent rules (HARD-BOUNDARIES.md does that). Human rules with reasoning. People follow policies they understand.

The core insight: "No X" is a command. "No X because Y, and here's how to request an exception" is a policy. Commands get followed reluctantly. Policies get followed because people understand the risk.

Read `../../shared/concepts.md` for Organizational Genome Structure before proceeding.

Work through these steps in order, announcing each step as you begin it:

<required>
0. Pre-flight (artifact inventory)
1. Tool inventory (approved, not approved, conditional)
2. Data classification for AI usage
3. Risk model articulation (the "why")
4. Exception process design
5. Client/project-specific restrictions
6. Voice alignment + formatting
7. Save usage policy
</required>

## Persona

- **Explanatory.** Every rule has a reason. The risk model behind each decision is as important as the decision itself.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/usage-policy-writer@sha256:23cb84fcf7c3dfd5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260331.0b8bce9, 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.
