SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill acts as a proactive governance advisor, helping to prevent governance debt by providing real-time feedback during development and ensuring tasks adhere to established standards before they are dispatched.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time Advisory: Offers guidance on governance implications immediately after code edits.
  • Pre-dispatch Validation: Checks if tasks align with governance boundaries and agent capabilities before execution.
  • Drift Detection: Compares current implementation against architectural decisions to identify deviations.
  • Use Case: A developer makes a change that might violate an architectural decision. ai-guard immediately flags this with a warning, allowing the developer to correct it before it becomes a larger issue or reaches a formal review.

Quick Start

Run ai-guard in advise mode to analyze staged files for governance compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions about ai-guard

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect architectural drift in AI-assisted software development?

Architectural drift is detected by comparing staged code implementations against active architectural decisions. The system flags deviations in real-time during development, providing warnings and recommendations without blocking execution.

Can I validate dispatched tasks against governance boundaries before execution?

Yes, pre-dispatch validation checks if tasks align with governance boundaries and agent capabilities. This shift-left enforcement ensures dispatched tasks comply with established standards before they are executed.

What is proactive AI governance advisory in software delivery?

Proactive AI governance advisory provides real-time feedback on governance implications immediately after code edits. It operates in advise, gate, and drift modes to prevent governance debt during AI-assisted software delivery.

How do I analyze staged files for governance compliance?

You can analyze staged files for governance compliance by running an AI agent in advise mode. This mode evaluates the staged files against established standards and decisions to identify potential violations.

Does AI governance enforcement block code execution when violations are found?

No, AI governance enforcement does not block execution. It provides warnings and recommendations to developers when violations are detected, allowing corrections before formal review without halting the process.
