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.
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
# 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: …

How to install
mdr add habitat-thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers/governance-constraint-design@sha256:6cb79ffb39133883The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260413.39a7625, 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.
