Governance Skill

Enforces engineering standards and code quality policies with parallel agent execution for context efficiency.

Standards Document: standards.md (starter default — replace with your own) Audit Script: npm run audit:standards Full Protocol: agent-prompt.md

Execution Model (v2.1)

Type: Delegated Execution — delegates to the built-in reviewer subagent type.

This skill uses the reviewer subagent (available in all Claude Code installations — no custom agent required):

1. Spawn the reviewer agent
2. Delegate the governance task with instructions from agent-prompt.md
3. Await completion
4. Report the structured summary to the user

Token Efficiency

How to Invoke

When this skill is triggered, read agent-prompt.md for the full protocol, then delegate:

Code Review

Task({
  description: "Governance code review",
  prompt: `[See agent-prompt.md for full instructions]
Review the following files for standards compliance:
- [list files or PR description]

Execute full code review workflow:
1. Run standards audit
2. Check each file against standards.md
3. Fix ALL issues immediately (zero deferral)
4. Return structured summary`,
  subagent_type: "reviewer"
})

Pre-Commit Check

Task({
  description: "Pre-commit governance",
  prompt: `[See agent-prompt.md for full instructions]
Run pre-commit governance checks:
1. typecheck, lint, format:check, test
2. Check for untracked source files
3. Return pass/fail with specific failures`,
  subagent_type: "reviewer"
})

Retrospective

Task({
  description: "Run retrospective",
  prompt: `[See agent-prompt.md for full instructions]
Run retrospective for [topic/sprint]:
1. Analyze completed issues
2. Gather metrics
3. Write report
4. Return summary`,
  subagent_type: "reviewer"
})
