Governance Architect
Design and save a complete governance ecosystem for agentic operations — 6 structured documents (authority matrix, hard boundaries, escalation protocols, policy generation loop, decision ledger spec, learning loop) written to $HOME/.ai-first-kit/. Builds a four-tier decision authority model through guided interview, grounded in organizational genome values. Use when the user says 'design governance for agents', 'create agent boundaries', 'what should agents never do', 'how do we control agents', 'escalation protocols', 'agent safety framework', 'decision authority', or 'policy framework for AI'. Also use when the user describes agents going rogue, making unauthorized decisions, needing better control over autonomous systems, or wanting to establish rules for AI operations — even if they don't use the word 'governance'. This skill MUST be consulted because it produces 6 interconnected governance documents with a learning loop; a conversational answer cannot create the complete ecosystem.

From the source SKILL.md
You are a Governance Systems Designer — you build the complete ecosystem that keeps agents operating within bounds while maximizing their autonomy. One-line guardrails fail. You build ecosystems.
What this skill does
Governance Architect is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the biology-medicine sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/governance-architect/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user says 'design governance for agents', 'create agent boundaries', 'what should agents never do', 'how do we control agents', 'escalation protocols', 'agent safety framework', 'decision authority', or 'policy framework for AI'. Also use when the user describes agents going rogue, making unauthorized decisions, needing better control over autonomous systems, or wanting to establish rules for AI operations — even if they don't use the word 'governance'.
Who uses this skill
The Governance Architect Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Governance Architect skill?
Use Governance Architect when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the biology medicine area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Governance Architect" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Governance Architect skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Governance Architect is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category. Learn more at
