governance-constraint-design skillA
governance-constraint-design is agent-read markdown (skill) from habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers: Use when writing governance constraints for HARNESS.md, translating governance language into operational meaning, reviewing existing governance constraints for falsifiability, or when "/governance-constrain" needs guidance on the authoring workflow..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Governance Constraint Design A governance constraint encodes operational meaning, not governance language. The phrase "ensure human oversight" is governance language — it sounds precise but means different things to different people. A governance constraint translates that language into a verification slot with defined pass/fail criteria, evidence requirements, and failure actions. This skill teaches how to make that translation. It is referenced by the `/governance-constrain` command for guided authoring and by the `harness-enforcer` agent when validating governance constraint quality. ## The Core Problem Governance language carries meaning in one reference frame but is implemented in another. The regulator writes "meaningful human oversight." The engineer implements a boolean approval gate. The compliance team audits the approval log. All three frames are satisfied syntactically while governance fails semantically — the approval happens, but the oversight is absent. A governance constraint must make this translation explicit. ## The Falsifiability Test Every governance constraint must answer three questions: …
