SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill centralizes platform-agnostic patterns to govern AI agents, ensuring disciplined context, explicit boundary management, and reliable behavior across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Steering hierarchy: Global → Workspace → Project context layering for consistent identity and behavior.
  • 3-phase spec process: Design → Requirements → Tasks to lock decisions as work progresses.
  • Context assembly & slice architecture: Progressive disclosure and modular identity composition to prevent context overload.
  • Covenant enforcement: Integrity checks and anti-presumption design to maintain epistemic hygiene.
  • Platform adaptation: Patterns that deploy across Kiro, Claude Code, Codex, Charm, and other agents.

Quick Start

To begin, set up global, workspace, and project steering; create a global steering file, then extend with workspace and project configurations to start guiding agent behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions about agent-steering

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage AI agent context across multiple environments?▼

You can manage AI agent context across environments by applying a steering hierarchy that layers Global, Workspace, and Project configurations, ensuring consistent identity and behavior. This prevents context overload through progressive disclosure.

What is the best way to lock AI coding decisions as work progresses?▼

The best way to lock AI coding decisions is using a 3-phase spec process: Design, Requirements, and Tasks. This structured approach enforces covenant principles and maintains epistemic hygiene as your project evolves.

Does agent steering work with Claude Code, Codex, and Kiro?▼

Yes, agent steering works with Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, and Charm. It provides platform-agnostic patterns and deployment guidance to govern AI agents reliably across these different coding environments.

How do I set up agent steering for a new project?▼

To set up agent steering, create a global steering file first, then extend it with workspace and project configurations. This slice architecture composes modular identity and guides agent behavior progressively.

Why does my AI agent make unauthorized assumptions during coding?▼

Your AI agent makes assumptions due to poor epistemic hygiene. Applying covenant enforcement and anti-presumption design through structured agent steering performs integrity checks to maintain explicit boundary management.
