SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Governance Skill consolidates and enforces organizational governance over PAI agent infrastructure. It centralizes budget controls, approval workflows, org-chart visualization, and config portability to reduce drift and misconfigurations across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Budget Controls: track and cap per-agent spending; visualize budgets against limits; alert when thresholds are reached.
  • Approval Gates: route high-impact actions through Telegram-based gating and human-in-the-loop approvals.
  • Goal Ancestry & Workspace Isolation: ensure every task traces back to a goal, and isolate agents by workspace for governance and cost accounting.
  • Org Chart Visualization: auto-generate diagrams of agent roles and hierarchies to improve transparency.
  • Standing Orders (Heartbeat): schedule recurring governance checks and agent tasks to maintain process discipline.
  • Config Export/Import: portable, sanitized bundles of governance-related config for backups and transfers.
  • Atomic Task Checkout: file-based task locking to prevent concurrent actions on the same task.

Quick Start

Ask Forge to run a budget review, trigger approval gates for a deployment, and export the current governance config for backup.

Frequently Asked Questions about Governance

FAQPage Schema
How do I set budget controls and spending caps for AI agents?

Budget controls for AI agents are configured by tracking and capping per-agent spending. The system visualizes budgets against defined limits and triggers alerts when specified spending thresholds are reached.

Can I require human approval gates before deploying AI agents?

Yes, high-impact actions can be routed through Telegram-based gating to require human-in-the-loop approvals. This ensures deployment approvals are explicitly authorized before execution.

What is workspace isolation and how does it help with agent cost accounting?

Workspace isolation separates agents by workspace to ensure dedicated governance and accurate cost accounting. It guarantees every task traces back to a specific goal for clear organizational ancestry.

How do I export and back up governance configurations for AI infrastructure?

You can export portable, sanitized bundles of governance-related configuration for backups and transfers. This config portability reduces drift and misconfigurations across different deployment environments.

Does atomic task locking prevent concurrent actions on the same agent task?

Yes, atomic task checkout uses file-based locking to prevent concurrent actions on the same task. This mechanism enforces safe handoffs and maintains process discipline across operations.

How do standing orders maintain recurring governance checks for PAI operations?

Standing orders schedule recurring governance checks and agent tasks to maintain process discipline. They act as a heartbeat to continuously enforce guardrails over your PAI infrastructure.
