ostrom-commons-governance

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps architects and operators evaluate and design governance for shared computational resources used by AI agents, preventing coordination failures like port conflicts, resource squatting, surveillance, and one-strike exiles. It translates Elinor Ostrom's eight design principles into actionable checks, evidence mappings, and concrete remediation steps tailored to agent coordination daemons and multi-tenant systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Principle-by-principle audit: Walks through all eight Ostrom principles and provides SATISFIED / GAP assessments with concrete evidence points.
• Remediation plans: For each gap it supplies numbered, implementable fixes (APIs, endpoints, config changes) and guidance on scope and escalation.
• Artifacts & failure modes: Produces recommended artifacts (harbor cards, immutable trails, governance channels), lists common anti-patterns, and offers nesting and sanction strategies.
• Use cases: Auditing coordination daemons (ports, files, locks), designing graduated sanctions and bonding mechanisms, adding project-level governance overrides, and making monitoring accountable.

Quick Start

Audit my multi-agent coordination daemon against Ostrom's eight design principles and produce a per-principle status report with evidence, gaps, and prioritized remediation steps.
